Match Thread: Copa America Group A - Matchday 1 - Argentina v Canada - June 20, 2024 - 8pm local time (ET) / 5pm PT

[Cadeau]

We played well. It was always going to be about game 2 and 3. And I’m optimistic!

[Dominic94]

Before we get more sub complaints….

how many guys on our bench can really impact the game at this level ? Against this team ?

Martinez is on their bench… we are only starting to get used to this quality of players. Mistakes are expected, and that’s ok.

Schaff is a super sub

That's the difference between #48 and #1

[kacbru]

Not sure that's a card.

They didn’t even need my boy Garnacho!! Crazy depth🤯

[Unnamed Trialist]

Cornelius, what a cynical foul. At least he didn't already have a yellow. 

Maxime.

We did well.

[Jack1997]

Who got the Messi jersey?

[Free kick]

Full time.   I saw enough from canada in this game  to give me confidence for the next two matches

Davies finally gets his Messi shirt.

[kacbru]

That grass did not look good. I don't understand how you can play a game of this caliber on turf like that.

[Big_M]

final score 2-0

[Soccerpro2]

Why can’t our players score in big matches on the world stage for Canada?

[finchster]

Could've been a blowout like Holland- not impressed

[Mattd97]

Really wish we'd brought in Tani, needing a goal with 10 minutes left.

Not a good take, my friend. The best chance went to a midget on a header.

[bwilly11]

Incredible result. The program grows stronger. One we figure out scoring...look out

Those two headers, Staq and David. 

[The Ref]

We only lost 2-0 but Argentina is another class.

 

[Mihairokov]

Played well and bodes well for the next two matches. They need a goal under Marsch in the next one. 

[phil03]

Happy would be pushing out but I am not too bummed out. We are talking about a team that only had two looses and four draws this decade... A tie was always a very long shot. 

Keeping 1-0 would have been better but 2-0 is still acceptable in term of damages for goal differential.

Refereeing looked so damn suspect

And Tjon not seeing the cutback to David - would have been a sure goal.

[Colonel Green]

I predict the Shaffelburg will be the first player to score a goal under Marsch.
