He was really good in Copa. He kept elevating as the tournament progressed. You could be right, but I also think there could be teams nervous who want to pull the trigger and not miss out on signing him

I thought he looked nervous early but after that great stop on Nunez in the box, playing on a yellow, he was very strong and composed. I’d like to see more but to step in like he did and perform was very impressive. Our back line looks very good going forward

This camera angle looks so far away

I can certainly appreciate both points of view on the roster selection. Kevin Kilbane made some good points on the pregame panel on using the opportunity efficiently but some of these guys looked good coming on versus Argentina (yes I know they let up and sat back, plus subs). I just don’t want to see a coach like Herdman did become complacent in roster choices and stagnant. This is a great opportunity for some younger guys who don’t get a chance.

I’m happy to see all this rotation. Amazing experience. Give guys a shot

And a HUGE thanks to you for everything you did getting tickets organized under the circumstances. The communication, efficiency and organization is nowhere without you Al, which I can only imagine was very difficult to pull off repeatedly over the last 6 weeks or so. Again, thank you so much!

I found the game last Friday and then through Tuesday to be such an emotional few days. Winning in that fashion and feeling that momentum across the country was amazing. I know this is first world problems, but when we went to Qatar, I didn’t get to see/share what it was like here in Canada and I feel that was something I missed out on despite the incredible experience I had actually being there to witness it. Feeling the euphoria this past week and then joining everyone in New York and being a part of that march from the mall was something I’ll never forget. Losing sucked and I really hate Argentinian fans now. They're trash. After a few days to reset I’m really looking forward to this game now and seeing some new faces playing. The last 4 months under Kevin Blue and now Jesse Marsch has been a rebirth. I hope we find more gems in our system the next 24 months and keep adding to our depth. It’s going to be amazing in 2026

It’s a double edged sword. I get what you’re saying, but there will be a handful of guys in 2 years who could/should be in the top 15 to 16 rotation who aren’t right now and they need some experience in these games too. Marsch has said this is gearing up for ‘26. If this was Herdman I know what the strategy would be. Looking forward to this line up drop more than any in this tournament because I think we all know for the most part who would be playing in the previous games

He certainly didn’t give us the cheapies, but he didn’t blow any major calls and screw us over. The Shaff yellow card was soft..

Coming on and seeing 200+ new messages. Fuck what a moment!!

I agree. I think he’s got a very unbiased pov and tells it like it is, no agenda

God what an opportunity this game is tonight.. -winning and advancing being the obvious one -guaranteeing 2 more games which will allow us to gain so much more experience playing 8 games in just over a month -another match with the defending World Cup champions and then no matter what happens in that game, barring a huge upset by Panama, playing one of Brazil, Uruguay or Colombia too -the financial gains which are so desperately needed -the world wide recognition this will have and hopefully trickle down effect for better friendlies moving forward -the confidence gained heading into a home World Cup in ‘26 I’m sure I’m missing a few more but this is just so huge outside of the game itself. Will be a tough game. Starting to feel the stress already

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but has tsn published what the Canada’s viewing numbers were for the group stage?

https://en.as.com/soccer/what-are-the-suspension-rules-for-yellow-cards-in-the-copa-america-2024-n/?outputType=amp According to this site, they say after the quarter finals, which makes more sense as to avoid players missing the final on 2 yellows by resetting fresh in the semis. Obviously very concerning with the number of guys we have on yellows, especially our back line if we can sneak into the semis

I think he was fine. I don’t think he did anything where I was like, wow what a great effort. I’d say my thought process is an accumulation of performances over 5 years or so and I feel tonight reinforced it again for me
