The Ref Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Costa Rica did a superb presentation for the draw. I enjoyed seeing Shirley Cruz and Pablo Wanchope. I think we have a good chance of advancing to the next stage. JamboAl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 Roster hasn't been announced but a rare occurrence for a Usports player to even get an invite. She was also part of Racing Louisville pre-season squad. TSN should have the rights as part of their FIFA package. But they did let go of Club World Cup to fubotv but should keep this since Canada is in it. Question will be if they'll stream all other matches. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Promised communication transparency hasn't yet reached the women's u20 level yet. Only news from the CSA from this week's camp was a tweet that it has wrapped up in Markham and a list of players in the camp with some having no pics. Looks like new invitees were Zara Chavoshi (appears to be from USA - Wake Forest), Megan Chiasson (NS), Chloe Minas (QC) & Sider-Echenberg (Ottawa GGs).

red card Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Mexico has let go basically their entire u20 coaching staff. A player filed a complaint that led to an investigation. Although the FMF found "no proof or evidence of sexual harassment or abuse by any person from the technical staff of the U20 women's national team towards its players," Mexico's federation noted that "sufficient evidence was found of a lack of leadership and inappropriate behaviours that are against the values of teamwork, by members of the technical staff." Ana Galindo of Mexico u17s will now take over and she can hire back any u20 coaches who didn't have any evidence against them.

red card Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 Tourney begins tomorrow. Canada arrived last week. If they played closed door friendlies, nothing has been disclosed. All 3 Canada group stage matches on Thursday, Sunday & Wednesday are at 2200 EDT on TSN. Four nations will continue being ever-presents by playing in their 10th FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup: Brasil, Germany, Nigeria and USA. Tourney matches are on at 1300, 1600, 1900 & 2200. Weekday matches are largely on TSN's linear channels. Weekend matches are more split between TSN linear and streaming. RDS seems less committed with only 1-2 match showings per day. Non-Canada group stage matches to watch are: Spain v Brasil Wednesday @1900 Japan v Netherlands Thursday @1600 USA v Netherlands Sunday @1900 USA v Japan Wednesday Aug 17 @1900 CanadianTraveller and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 Davidson of Canadian Press reported Canada lost to Japan 2-1 in a pre-tourney friendly. Olivia Smith scored. There has been one change to the roster from the CONCACAF tournament, with Wake Forest defender Zara Chavoshi replacing Maya Ladhani, who likely prioritised club commitments - she moved to Norway's Avaldanes coached by John Arne Rise this summer. She just signed her first pro contract this spring in Denmark. https://www.nsnews.com/national-sports/canadian-women-kick-off-play-at-fifa-u-20-world-cup-against-south-korea-5682997 narduch and Olympique_de_Marseille 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballfreak Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 First half was pretty dire barring a few glimpses of magic from Awujo and Burns (who has mostly been wasteful). We look so disconnected in possession. Static. Usually only a single support runner at a time. Defensively we haven’t been tested yet, but I don’t like our chances to score either.

I was expecting a better organized Canada with some true strikers. Ex 1 player, this is the same team that played in the qualifiers. They looked disjointed then and looked even more vs Korea. They didn't have a true striker in the qualifiers. Though, one of the missing components across the women's game today is having natural born strikers. Smith has filled the void somewhat but she was non-existent last night. Tye's set up was too conservative. So, they couldn't control the midfield and not enough players in support when somebody managed to breakthrough in the final third. Korea also won the tactical adjustment game in the second half. Not playing likely your best midfielder in Small was surprising. Passing is a team weakness but there was easy ones missed in the first half. Goalkeeping is a strength but she fluffed her lines last night. It was less than 25% probability they would get out of the group. But losing in a match most likely to win, given how good Nigeria looked and the pedigree of France, they're staring into the abyss.

rkomar Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I think most of our players still think the game too slowly at this level. Any pause with the ball to consider options had them immediately swarmed by multiple Korean players. That's the biggest difference between international level play and everything below it. It doesn't matter how good your skills are or how good the team tactics are if you can't act quickly enough when you have the ball. They are unlikely to advance out of the group stage, but this is exactly the kind of experience they need to see where they must improve individually.

rkomar Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 You can probably count the number of French back passes in their own end on one hand. I don't think I have enough fingers and toes to count the number of times our side did it. No one is making themselves open up field. No one is dribbling the ball up. We just pass to the back and then hoof it over everyone to the French center backs. So tough to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Anyone know what match Amy Walsh is watching? All this talk about Canada having the better of the play in the French chances coming against the run of play makes it apparent that she’s not watching the same game that I am and I suspect the rest of us are. rkomar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballfreak Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 25 minutes ago, Colonel Green said: The ladies resume Mission: Score a Goal. More realistically, get a single shot on goal. This team is absolutely dreadful. Every pass is backwards until someone lumps it 40 yards to a French defender. Wingers are completely unable or unwilling to beat their mark one-on-one. Clavijo is completely physically outmatched at this level. 5 defenders back against a single attacker and we’re still giving up shots. Zero fight. So many 50/50 balls where a Canadian pulls out early Poorly conditioned There is no way a team made primarily of NCAA players should look this bad.
