I respect the guys for calling out Canada's play but to quote a notable Brooklyn rapper "we ain't even supposed to be here." I don't think Canada's ever played such a number of top tier quality opponents in a short run: The Netherlands, France, and Argentina twice all in hostile territory. The fact that they held the Dutch to a scoreless half, drew 0-0 in France, and only conceded four goals in two matches against the friggin' World Champs and didn't play intimidated is a win in and of itself. I also like Marsch's attacking mentality which brings to mind Woody Harrelson's portrayal of John McCain campaign manager, Steve Schmidt, in the 2012 HBO Film "Game Change" (in that character's reaction to potentially picking Sarah Palin as a running mate): "If it were me, I'd rather lose by 10 points going for the win, than lose by one and say dammit we should've gone for the win." For a team that almost missed out qualifying for this tournament and to be the only non-South American side in the final four (with an additional game Saturday) win, win, win lol

[@funkd5973]

[@rodrigoramirez8627]

I share a lot of what you say, Canada had a very good American Cup for the confederation of which it is part, they are on the right track. As for losing by 10 points (goals), it doesn't work like that, I'm against that; losing by such a number of goals for any football coaching staff, any team or national team is "making a mess and starting from scratch", it is throwing all the effort away, and as Canada did in this tournament it is quite a merit. For them, they just need to improve a little and win the games, because this time they were lucky, they reached a semi-final winning only 1 game

[@logirex]

If that had been Christian Pulisic who was Captain and led his team to the semifinals of the Copa before getting injured out of the game with 1/3 of the game still to play on a dirty tackle, the likes of Kasey Keller amd other Americans would have been whining with rage about the opponents and the officiating. Instead it is Alphonso Davies this happens to, so the panel acts like the dirty tackle never happened as it is not even mentioned. I appreciate Herc standing up for us against the bitter numb nuts from Venezuela who admits he is biased, but again I ask ESPN to consider calling in somebody from Canada for a proper Canadian perspective. There are clearly a lot of Canadian viewers (potentially or actually) for this show, particularly as we move closer to 2026.

I was watching a different game Canada played well

[@jfnwjnowngowjrn]

I think Canada just couldn't press like they did against Venezuela because of the heat and the turnaround between games. The legs just weren't there.

[@Samuel88853]

also Argentina has too much skill to just press all game. In the 1st game Argentina had many more chances when Canada high pressed. The mid block was more solid

[@jfnwjnowngowjrn]

@Samuel88853 True that you can't press all game. But even when it was time to press in them middle 3rd, they were lethargic. There was a moment when shaffelberg picked up the ball and cut inside and the argentine right back literally caught up to him, ran around him, and took the ball from him. I couldn't believe it. Shaffelberg is nothing if not fast, and seeing him just get easily outrun like that was indicative of the state of the team

[@mccullochmike]

A few things can be true at the same time. Here are my thoughts: 1. Argentina is likely the best team to ever play soccer. 2. Canada ran out of gas. Canada played in extreme heat in Kansas City. They had a small rotation. And, their game against Venezuela was a track meet. What an exciting game that was, but it was taxing for sure. Argentina has great depth. Was able to play all of their players and even sit Messi for a game. Had Canada sat Davies for a game, Canada likely wouldn't have made it through. Shaffelburg looked tired in the last game as did many other players including David. The heat of the final, coupled with Canada running out of gas certainly made the last game even more of an uphill battle. No excuses, and I can see why Marsch has claimed more depth is needed. Tournament football requires it. Congrats to Canada though. They really impressed.

Fotmob rated him 7.9,7.7, 7.3 in the three previous games. He provided crosses to Larin and David who couldnt convert during the tournament. He drove forward multiple times during this match but he was caught between two minds because Cornelius and Bambito are average defenders (i suspect). He fell asleep on a couple of plays, he needs to clean that up. The criticism here is warranted but over the top.

[@Mike0193Azul]

Refs have been corrupt against USA and Canada. Kevin Ortega and Piero Maza need to be looked at. The flopping in this game is what makes the sport unbearable to watch. Du Paul on the ground wasting time smiling.. The Argentines probably got into the player's heads with this kiddie stuff. Players should be fined and suspended for flopping. As with the USA, Canada needs to desperately work on their positioning, it is so bad. The team looked only slightly better than USA. With that discipline, everything else is bound to be better... The goalkeeping, defense, passing, and finishing. It was all bad and better positioning would help tremendously.

They did the best they could. CONCACAF is not there yet. They would have needed to play a perfect match.

[@sayandas3939]

So is copa america now the all american tournament or do they still consider as south american tournament

[@tridebadhikary1453]

Dont discuss leo messi u pandits 😂 just enjoy THE MESSI SHOW 🎉 because very little time is left to enjoy this show😮‍💨

[@zeo4481]

Vamos Argentina!!!

[@stevieC11Hanworth]

My respects to Canada they played a good match

[@onncga]

Herculez, Preach!!!!

[@shivanshuroy6992]

Vamos Argentina 🇦🇷

[@steelcom5976]

It took Argentina to stop Canada. It took Canada to stop Venezuela. I think Venezuela is a talented team but Moreno, that is not a good result no matter how you try to spin it.

[@genzislady3820]

Canada played good relative to their level. Let’s be real if this was the USMNT with GGG they would probably lose 4-0 to this Argentina team.

[@snorie9292]

So was brazil prime 1994_2010... 3 world cup finals: 1994,1998,2002 which they won in also 1994,2002. They won 4 times copa america 1997,1999,2004,2007.also 3 time confedration cup.than downfall begins since 2014 the worst defeat 7-1 and till now they are playin very bad.but they had their prime time cause of their player r9,ronaldhino,romario,bebeto , rivaldo,adriano,robino,kaka only legend players. Now present u ha e only neymar.they are weak now. So will argentina also be weak when messi wil retire😂😂 just wait and watch

[@flashnationroblox4473]

Blud literally stole enzos goal and espn got its hair back good job

[@mlagifts2809]

There should be a final Copa European

[@shaaz9993]

The title says that Messi scored, but tbh it was really Enzo Fernandez’s goal… just brushed Messi’s sock on the way in lol. Messi’s Copa America hasn’t been great by his standards.

[@tfc92221]

Lol, how misleading is this title? What did he lead them? They could win this tournament without him that’s how good they are and how bad the rest of the competition is.

[@ErynQuentery]

Argentina limited the pace and the physicality of the match which hurt Canada

[@sachinsarker7966]

Got a feel for Drake 300K bet😂😂😂😂 just wasted 300k😂😂

[@Inkill2009]

300k to this guy is like $30 or $3 for most.

[@watansworld3617]

GET IN we get Liam miller now

[@ginjjiigok364]

2 goals off of def mistakes. Goalies cant get megged!!!!2nd goal canada had 2 chances to clear the ball but tried to pass it out and then hit a weak ball. Cant make mistakes like this vs Argentina.

[@gchad404]

Hey Alejandro you heard that 80s song Cuts Like a Knife by Bryan Adams before! lol ;) na naa naaaa na na naa na naaaa yeahhaa

[@ThaTyphon]

Once Canada got scored on I knew it was over cause Canada cant score.

[@ErynQuentery]

Canada needs a 10 to bridge things

[@claudiovallone9217]

Argentina 7 finals in 10 years 😊

[@mamuana2006]

Alejandro Morena to me is the best football pundit there is. He knows the game, he knows the what his job is, he's the least biased and I always agree with what he says... I enjoy this man's punditry so much!

[@davismorgan99]

I typically don’t watch futbol americas but this was awesome. Ale and Keller are great additions to Seb and Herc. Keep up the great work!

[@bingo720]

Argentina loves to dive

[@sarojchhetry7]

what's about that bluetooth goal idk how that goal count as a messi goal if he had touched that should be offside

[@987GeorgeMr]

Canada perform well but a fews problems. Centre back is back who is responsible for the goal loss in last tow games, who's is slow running and turning around and handling ball. Millar is garbage should be replaced in the squad. I would put Alphonse mid to forward left wing if I was coach. Beside t4eam defence should improve and Canada should seep looking for better strikers. KONE is hopeful. Overall performance is good much better than that under Herdman who is garbage coach should have been replaced before WC

[@987GeorgeMr]

team defence is the solution but has never happened. defence is not the job of centre back and back three particularly playing with top team. Herdman didi horrible job in team defence and hope march learnt from it.

[@MiguelangelLopez-hm9ig]

All the other teams are weaker argentina is good but there lucky

[@fabz1509]

A team with better strikers would've picked apart your darling ArHentiNa! Canada did well given what they have currently. A lot of improvement needed up front, no idea how David was top scorer in ligue 1? Or Laryn making money as a pro? Laughable. Believe in this coach & looking forward to 2026.

[@thefriesens1071]

Strikers always run hot and cold. National team players don't play with each other year round and are often playing a different system. David is a very good striker. Canada just isn't used to playing top teams. They'll adjust.

[@Mike-px8rc]

MESSI walked for 4 games....of course he's fresh to run in the Semi😂

[@crimsonstreams]

He’s done it for most of his career.. and he’s still the greatest.

[@Mike-px8rc]

@@crimsonstreams the Greatest score in EVERY GAME.????

[@Ben2bwild]

​@Mike-px8rc you expect him to run every game like he did in his prime? Like what's the point of your comment? He's done it all. Nobody defeats mother nature

[@awfan221]

​@@crimsonstreamsWalking in his 30s. Used to press in his teens and 20s.

[@Styles8161]

It never ceases to amaze me who how bias the American/Venezuelan soccer pundits can be. I never thought I would see a panel where Herculez Gomez would be the most objective. Dont worry like most Canadians. We will put our heads down work hard and get it done. No need for fanfare or praise. We will get it done. See you in a few years CONMEBOL. Especially you Alejandro. What a goof .

[@987GeorgeMr]

Jessie March is a good headcoach better than Herdman for sure, but not top world class coach. Canada actually needs top world class head coach unfortunately it did not happen. Canada will pay price for it. CSA sucks

[@thefriesens1071]

Little by little, that's how it works. Nobody gets great fast.

[@thomaspeiker5577]

Diese Amerikaner haben überhaupt keine Ahnung von Fussball 👍 Argentinien und Uruguay sind zur Zeit die Besten, dann kommen Deutschland, Spanien und Holland, der Rest ist ungefähr so gut wie Kanada

[@techniciansinc6048]

Also have anyone noticed how comment section isn't full of nonsense anymore. ? I wonder why. Something looks fishy. I wonder what have changed? Hmmm🤔

[@McNanaBravo]

Canada is just like Georgia. Portugal can't score Canada

[@raiderz4life50]

Messi in Miami was scripted all along 🤔 is 🗑 💰💯

[@GRMDGRM]

Argentina won the World Cup with 15 penalties and being inferior against France, the dibu Martinez saves them

[@geerthankannan7283]

[@sayandas3939]

Portugal won the euro by beating minnows and lost to chile in copa, then by urugay in wc and then by Belgium and then got embarrassed by morroco, atleast messi scores and asist and don't stand in box

[@GRMDGRM]

@@forZa-intenZa I supported Argentina in the final and in only 20 minutes Argentina played better, out of 5 games France beats 4 and tied 1

[@GRMDGRM]

@@sayandas3939 I never talked about Portugal or Ronaldo, I am not interested in that war between Messi and CR7, they are both good, but Messi clearly has something natural that differentiates him from the rest and from anything that can be achieved by training, but Ronaldo has enormous merit in your mentality
