I was at a viewing party and when Kone kicked the ball at de paul, everybody cheered like we scored a goal lol

[MichelinaSayo-lovy]

No matter what happens yesterday with our Canadian soccer team we are so proud of what you have accomplished thus far we never gave up yhe y played with spirt and determination they got so far so proud ❤

With Canada in the 3rd place game this makes me wonder if the NHL had a 3rd place series then the Dallas Stars would've played the NY Rangers in the NHL 3rd place series. NHL needs a 3rd place series because it's more revenue for the teams and the league.

Damn, Sids built like a bag of milk..

A soccer player runs about 10km per game. There are no commercial breaks, no coaching breaks. At this professional level it is physically challenging, so every time you can buy some time to let the clock run, you do it (when you are winning of course)

[seanmcdonnell]

They were being kind when they thought the reffing was 'fair'.... soccer needs to cut out the faking, and the Argentina player should have gotten a yellow card for that.

[jhamdan]

Do you comprehend how painful hardly kicking the ball against the lower vertebrae of the spine is?

[enriquemoran]

As a Venezuelan I approve this message 😌😌😌

[bujuich]

Time forCanadian fans to impose our culture in the stands for home games. when players flip and flop like landed fish we chant “suck it up buttercup” this signals to our players to play on and ignore the flopping fish. Force the ref to stop the play or if the opponents kick it out to stop the game, immediately take the throw in and retain the possession. If the ref restarts with a drop ball, we contest it and don’t give it back to floppers.Visitors will soon realize Canadians and our players don’t buy flopping fish. When in Rome, do as Romans. Let them suck it up.

I love Meredith's take on the dramatics.

[rinipox]

Is this who said Messi couldn’t win anything with Argentina before? 😂😂😂😂

[brucetrappleton]

Oh, ok, I see what's happening here. The male host doesn't know international football too well. The "theatrics" are meant to put pressure on the referee. You are clearly pointing to not that "it hurts you", but that what the opposition player did is illegal (which it was) and that he deserves an immediate yellow card. Had Rodrigo De Paul not resorted to "theatrics", there would have been no yellow card. Yellow cards are important because it limits the intensity a player can display on the pitch. The theatrics are not for joke. They are for winning over the psychology of the referee. These Argentinian guys have won 3 major international tournaments in 3 years. They know exactly when to turn on "theatrics" as a part of the psychological battle.

[djknox]

So all FIFA needs to do is to have VAR contact the Ref and give that player a RED CARD for play-acting. Problem solved.

[arthurau]

This also makes me wonder why in most international tournaments there is a 3rd place or bronze medal game but no such series exists in the NHL, NBA, NFL/CFL and MLB? Why not award the conference losers in the NHL, NBA, NFL/CFL and league losers in MLB with a bronze or 3rd place series as well?

[oldskool]

Argentina didnt impress me.. Colombia does !

[wildarrowhunter]

We were in Buenos Aires with my friends watching the 'tremendous' hit in DePaul's back... and we all celebrated the yellow card :) In soccer, as in life, there is also double morality. Some have assumed it, others hide it and criticize other people's opinions.

[timdenommee]

South American football skill tip top, simulation of injuries also tip top.

[TheHi-T]

Perhaps it was an unwritten playground & little league rules. I remember when faking injuries, players would expect the opponent to trip or slide tackle them with or without the ball sometime later in the match. It's not right to intentionally cause harm or fake an injury. So I never saw anyone dive during a match.

[bobtutton]

The reason I can't watch. If I want that I would watch pro wrestling . They are much better at the dramatics.

[arthurau]

I don't understand why Copa America has a 3rd place game while the Euros does not? Copa America NEEDS to copy the Euros and eliminate the 3rd place game as well.
