As a 19 year old from Toronto, Canada who loves Messi and Argentina the fact that Canada made its way to the SEMI FINALS of the Copa America in their first ever run is beyond exceeded our expectations as Canadians already and its already been a huge success no matter what happens from here on out.

[@mccullochmike]

ESPN, you’ve proven that you don’t do your job well. You’re lazy. The analysis is not representative of what Canada is right now. Too many analysts look historically at where things will be in the future. Of course Canada has a chance. That’s why the game is played. Of course Argentina is the strong favourite, they are against most teams. To say Canada was poor defensively is absurd and shows ignorance. I love the Canada naysayers. They’re going to be smoked by France. Wrong! 0-0 draw. They’re going to lose 8-0 to Argentina. Nope, not even close. Peru and Chile will destroy Canada. Wrong again. Venezuela won all of their group games and will dismantle Canada. Wrong! Keep bringing your ignorance. Canada is motivated. They’re together. They are difficult to play. Teams can’t match their speed, particularly on the wings. They have a strong goalie. They’re young and they have nothing to lose against Argentina. In soccer, when scores are so tight and shootouts are a strong possibility, you can’t count any team out.

Did you not see the goal conceded last night? Bombito has been atrocious all tournament and the keeper was always pushing the halfway line. Of course Davies is one of the best in the world and Johnston is generally very impressive for Canada, although the latter is still also clearly a level below top players in terms of comfort and ability on the ball. The entire game was open because neither team could keep the ball it was very different to the EURO games so far bar Scotland’s last performance, which is telling.

[@tristan7844]

En este tiempo Alemania igualmente, llego a 5 finales (1974, 1982,1986,1990,2002 y 2014) y gano 3 (1974,1990 y 2014). Brasil llego a 4 finales (1970,1994,1998 y 2002), de las que gano 3 (1970,1994 y 2002) y perdio una en 1998. Todos los demas equipos nacionales estan por detras.
