You guys have better analysis than ESPN. It’s detailed and explains what happened and why

In Peru we call Canada the "Perú Premium" because of the similarity of our flags 😂 Congrats on being the dark horse of the copa America!

[darkgenesis]

The pace of this game was insane, no midfield at all just end to end, easily the best game in the Copa so far

[alexescabor]

We have witness a historical classic match (CANADA VS Venezuela)

You also have to give Canada some credit since all their matches have essentially been away games with 90%+ of the crowd rabidly cheering for the opposition.

Just play the 'Rocky' music for Canada against huge underdogs, but it's going to be fun.

[Awesomereach]

Lets go Canada 🇨🇦! All of North America is rooting for you!

Totally correct that Canada is very mistake prone and not clinical at finishing. But they do have a very young squad with 50% playing in the MLS. I'm wondering how 2 more years of experience might change that, and, if it does, what Canada might look like in 2026?

[andervanburren]

the fact this is canadas debut, and were in the semis playing the defending champs. weve already won, playing with house money, weve already won :)

[djknox]

David, Larin, Davies and Eustaquio - arguably their best 4 players - are still not firing. Just wait until they do! I have been saying since Qatar that Canada has a QF ceiling in 2026. I predict they make the R16 and maybe even a QF, depending on the opposition they come across. I don't think the USA or Mexico have a higher ceiling, so that makes Canada one of the top CONCACAF squads.

[djknox]

Agreed that hoping for Canada to upset Argentina is a bridge too far. HOWEVER, they will still get to play Uruguay, Colombia or Brazil for 3rd place. So those two matches are going give Canada enormous experience heading into the two NLs and Gold Cup they still have between now and the next World Cup. I'm wondering if there are any other big tournaments they could get an invitation to? Is anyone aware of an such opportunity?

[martinglebe]

Great comments. You were more generous to Canada than other analysts. Canada had so many chances and did not finish and they are occasionally mistake prone on defence. But they really did put their full effort into the game, as did Venezuela, but Canada was more fortunate with the penalty kicks. If Canada could just finish on some of their obvious chances the game would have been less entertaining. Congrats to Canada. They are proving their worth and their heart.

Jesse Marsch has been coach for the Canadian national team for only two months, takes them to the semi finals. While Gregg the GOAT Berhalter has been coach for the US team for almost 6 years gets grouped . This is the same coach who got beat by Trinidad away in the gold cup . Failed to draw against Panama.

A teams success is 50% coaching, 30% the players and 20% ( the organization/ front office / club board with or owner or with its CEO or club president) .

Canada's win is huge indictment on Gregg and the US soccer federation for sheer incompetence . Come 2026, if both the US and Canada are placed in favorable groups and have good paths to the wc finals . Canada Under Jesse May actually do much better than the USMNT under Gregg .

I'm super glad Canada is part of Copa America, Canada has good players that need to be seen!! Like that Shaffelburg wow what a player!!! Hope these new talents have better opportunities and better clubs where to play!

We're living in a strange timeline where Canada is the strongest in CONCACAF. Wish them good luck against the World Champions.

[RaySmith]

Our next game is all about fun. Never have we ever played this many games at any given time.

[jfd]

Canada desserved to win and they did, coukd have been 3-1

[NotSprout_BrawlStars]

As a die hard Venezuelan fan, im happy for us and Canada 🫶 Both teams played very well for the usual team. Im happy for Canada but very sad we lost. Next time Venezuela will dominate 🫶

[EmptyHand]

Ngl this game was more entertaining than the two earlier Euro matches.

Canada looked good and they generated many good chances to score. Congratulations!
