Mexico worked their tactical plan perfectly only because the Ref allowed them to do so, especially in the 1st half. Mexico should have had at least 2 red cards, which would have changed the whole complextion of the match. The fact that Mexico clutched, grabbed, tripped etc...was an absolute compliment to Canada. Similarly to how Chile & Peru played against Canada, Mexico felt that they had to pull every kind of dirty trick to slow down Canada's very fast pace.

I think you can go both ways with it. -On the Mexico side, Mexico brought the physicality to break up the flow of the game so could Canada couldn't really be successful. -The refs will show how the game is dictated, and as a player you have you adjust to that. If a ref is gonna swallow their whistle, the players have to play through some physicality and stop looking back to the refs for fouls. -But on the Canada side, there's a reality that most CONCACAF teams will use this style of game to slow down Canada which means the chances you have you must bury. We weren't able to. Not bad not good either. -A draw isn't bad, but they need to learn to win these types of games consistently.

Mexico knew they needed intensity to compete against Canada, and they brought it. A sign of respect. 0-0 isn't bad.

Canadá played like a bunch of fruit fairys bunch of floppers but you can see the quality of Mexico getting better with the new coach. Of course you’re going to speak good about Canada in this game cause you’re also a fruit fairy🙂‍↕️

A very good window for Canada. I'm still bitter about the off-side US goal - I wanted clean sheets in both games! Can't wait for the October home match against Panama.

his older brother is also playing well in the cpl

Also: JRR is absolutely the right call up. His big game goals are consistent, and his final touch is golden. Doesn't play box-to-box as clean as March would love - but, if the team needs to press, you want those one touch titans available (especially if Larin lost his touch)

The Marsch camps (Student of Bradley, Armas style training) he intends to run camps and "coach" at elite level athleticism. Pro's - if there is a camp to experience high performance training - it should be temporary national camps. This would help players know that there is another level out there. Con's - teams might not want to send players into harms way. However, if players consistently shine for Canada - these camps will become notorious for international scouting, and this "system" which was once detrimental for Toronto FC - might pay dividends for CanMNT. But - do keep your eyes open for the injuries. First Tajon, now Theo, let's see if it's a trend... :O

I don't know much about Saliba, so I am intrigued. Excited that Marsch is identifying new talented players. Really gutted for Whitecaps losing Sam yet again. Given his string of injuries this season, his future is pretty dubious.

I feel like I found gold with this channel

Great content we need this in the canada soccer space 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thank you fabrizio romano 😮 There we Land.😅 Here we go. Time for him to play in Spain and be settled into this new country. :)

Yes it will be fun to see them all get a run out and show their stuff. I also want to see Santiago Lopez in October, after his excelling for the U20’s.

i hope he'll be good, for his career and for our club 😢

5:20 - A Swiss Army knife lol Was the pun intended? I like the move. I think this European experience will expand his game, and I hopefully he gets more reps with the CMNT too. It will be interesting to see where he is in 2 years time.

Quite frankly, Sirois looked pretty awful in CF Montreal's 5-0 loss to New England. Yes, this is an exciting team; however, you had previously reported that Santiago Lopez would be on this squad & I got very excited because he is in my opinion, the most talented dual national in the long run & if he played with the senior team, there would be a much better chance that he might choose Canada over Mexico. Unfortunately he is not on this squad. I can only hope that he might play in the October Friendly match versus Panama at BMO field.

Hi can you please meet me thanks 🙏!!!!

I’ll answer your “serious questions”. He is not playing because he is not good enough to start or be featured in this Porto squad. Too many players at his position. I agree he should move on to another club who will allow him minutes.

Legend

Flores is not cap tied for Mexico eithier !🤔

Lopez was outstanding offensively in that U-20 tournament. Not only is he very talented; but his IQ was so impressive!!! This is more exciting than the Sigur news! Wow! Kevin Blue & Jesse Marsch are doing an amazing job with the dual Nationals already! I can't believe that this kid will be playing again for Canada & this time with the senior team!!! He was born & raised & trained in Mexico, although he lived in Canada from 2009 to 2015, when his parents moved for work, before then returning to Mexico. In Canada, he played with Oakville SC. He is currently playing in Mexico. This kid is highly talented & competitive & he should be given a lot of time on the field in these matches.

Can't find any highlights of him...

I think Niko is pissed off with Gatusso at Hajduk. He has been playing steady for 2 years and now that Gatusso is manager he is not playing him. I think Niko would like to play in the mls or somewhere else now !

So excited by this!!!!!

I think this could be massive! I love the Croatian style of play and I rate the Croatian First League. He should fit well with the current midfielders. Also, I didn't realize Mathieu Choinière moved to Grasshopper. Our midfield is looking nice! Not to sound overly optimistic, but we're looking good at every single position!

No they aren’t.

Welcome to Rwdmolenbeek!!!! You will be at home in Brussels !!! Back too the first league together boy !

Love the coverage of Canadian players…keep it up! Just a heads up that €550000 is more like $830K CAD…nice little haul!

And he's from Brampton. What a surprise! So much talent coming out of that city.

CPL is godsend for young Canadian players looking to make a nice career out of football. Transfers to mid-Euro leagues are great opportunities for young players, and for the overall development of Canadian soccer at large.

Love the coverage of Canadian players

Super excited for Moise! Looks like I may need to get a subscription to Ligue 1 with so many of the Canadian 🇨🇦 boys playing in the league now!

Something tells me Bombito's player Market Value will be rising into the 20m Euro's mark very soon...

Clubs in Austria, holland and belgium are a great stepping stone for such young talents.

So basically TFC got money selling a player who is moving to Europe in a year… with a sell on clause.

1 step forward two steps back for Ike

He'll do well in the SPL hope he can handle the weather

Wish him luck. Didnt see much left in the tank last year at the Whitecaps. Hence why they passed on signing him. Still has the skill just not the legs

Absolutely buzzing about this as a Canadian Hibee. We’ve been in massive need of attacking reinforcements this offseason so Hoilett should be huge for us with his playmaking ability if he stays fit. He’ll likely see most of his minutes on the wing as either a starter or super sub, with Youan linked away and other wingers in the squad underperforming last season. In terms of set pieces I’d definitely expect him to be a cut above our current takers which is usually Newell or Boyle atm. I’ve waited years to see another 🇨🇦 at Hibs, didn’t expect it to be a player of Hoilett’s calibre

I'm a Celtic fan that doesn't want Idah and that's only because he's good enough for our domestic competitions but he's definitely not good enough to help us go further in there Champions League. We need someone even better than Kyogo. As for JRR, a nice to Celtic would definitely benefit the young lad. Celtic are one off the best clubs in the world for helping players develop so if that happens then great for him and eventually great then club when they develop/use/sell on. Right now most Celtic fans priority is getting out squad the LB, CB, Strikers and possible Midfielders were going to need.

Good thing ! With koné we feel happy to have them in our city and team.

But him hh

Amazing! Might have to start rooting for Marseille now and watching them more often. 😂 Also, thanks to the channel owner for always being one of the first to report breaking news like this! Thank you! 🙏

This sucks. I'm really happy for our Canadian boys, but I just can't support a team with a loser like Mason Greenwood on it, even if he signed with my favourite club it'd be tainted for me.

watched him against Villa, hit the goalie with an open goal and put one past the post from 5 yards out, NO THANKS

watched him play second half v Villa, he ain't good enough for Celtic and at the money your talking about, NO WAY
