Will Canada get a result against Argentina?

[@The_Beast_3365]

I really hope they play well for 90 minutes against Argentina like they just did recently against France in that friendly game, if the score ends up being 0-0 for Canada or a 1-1 draw, I'll be really happy for them! 🙂❤️🇨🇦

[@gburbridge5966]

LFGGOOOOO @JJDTV96

[@lukecarrier9956]

Hard to tell...

[@jaytse2269]

I don't expect us to score but hopefully we can defend with sustained intensity and get a nil draw

[@Technical_ability_superiority]

@@The_Beast_3365The difference is Argentina will definitely try to press Canada’s back line, whereas France sit back and look for chances on the break.

[@gordwilkes]

No expectations... All we can hope for is each player on the CMNT does their very best against some of the best positional players in the game... That's all we can hope for, I don't think expectations matter in this situation. At least half a billion people are around the world are going to be watching this game, it's going to be a new situation for many players and they're gonna feel another level "pressure" that they've never felt on the world stage before... Let's go Canada! Fight hard!

[@xBigBean]

That screen freeze did Matt dirty hahahaha

[@sulimo99]

as an argentinian, i respect Canadá team so much. You have GREAT players, It will be a great match!. Good luck guys!!

[@rodrigomaggio1208]

im from argentina.. good luck to canada team today.. I really admire the respect that you show for this sport.. you are gonna get better.. and i know that canadá s team its gonna make it well... make the statement.. this is the main stage to do it before world cup

[@69gvfb]

Saludos bro 🤝

[@TheLaughingMustache-oh5ff]

Depth matters so much in WC and Copa because yellow card accumulation means that you WILL have to rely on alternate starting lineups at times. I worry that if Davies gets a yellow or Johnson, Canada could have a real problem in the 2nd and 3rd games. So it might be utterly important that they come out of the argentina game with no yellows, I believe the yellows get wiped in the Quarters?

[@djknox2]

Or SFs, not sure. If we lose Johnston, we have Laryea, but for sure we will miss Adekugbe. Maybe Ahmed can help out in those positions?

[@lukecarrier9956]

Never been so excited for a match

[@gburbridge5966]

Me either - weird we’re more hyped for Copa than WC but it’s cuz we’re a lot better now

[@bone6000]

We will lose badly, not sure I’m excited lol. But looking forward to seeing how do

[@Technical_ability_superiority]

@@bone6000I’m an Argentinian supporter and I think you’ll win easily. Otamendi is very easy to press especially for a team like Canada, and Nico Gonzalez will provide zero end product in the offensive third.

[@BGSM10]

@@Technical_ability_superiorityyou’re definitely not Argentine or an Argentine supporter. Stop lying and talking sh!t, you think Argentina defence is only Otamendi? He probably won’t start. Saudi Arabia were lucky that Argentina had 3 goals disallowed and I’m sure Canada won’t have the same luck. You talk big “Canada can win easily” lmao. You’re a clown and one that is full of sh!t

[@fidellagrana6074]

@@Technical_ability_superiorityWtf man😂 what about the rest of the players? Canada has good players but they wont win against argentina

[@djknox2]

Key for Davies is not to try to play hero ball. Take a position and play it very well.

[@uzamakileon4448]

Good luck from the u.s. excited to see how you do

[@seamusoleary3712]

I just hope the Canadian team can shut up all the naysayers.... it doesn't mean they have to beat Argentina, but their performance will be a competitive for all three games, and that's all I ask.

[@El1988Che]

I don't think Canada has much chances here... Overall they just lack the talent Argentina has, just the same way Argentina doesn't have chance against Canada in hockey lol. I think even Perú might run circles around them lol.

[@xBigBean]

I'd love to know how Luc De Fougerolles has been doing in training. Will he make an appearance during the tournament?

[@KakisKakis-tk7rv]

Kamal Miller, Alphonso Davies , Rodrigo DePaul all get carded there!! 😉

[@ratas290589]

Funny how you name Rodrigo! He needs to focus more on playing than talking but he is a solid player. The guy is a full engine.

[@jimberence]

i like to watch they play against the rugged Uruguay, its a good game, Uruguay could win 60% 😊 For me, Brazil, is the easier rival to be win by Argentina, but they must not be over confident, they should play at normal way, and hence, the Chile team also to be mention that could stop them for winning that Copa 😊 anyway, btw, go& viva Argentina team 😊

[@KakisKakis-tk7rv]

6 - 2 🇦🇷 after 🇨🇦 jump to a quick 2-0 lead led by a brace of Jonathan David, there!!!.. cough cough!!

[@zeo4481]

If Canada doesn't finish 4rt in the group stage I'll be surprised

[@RaySmith79]

Just a chance to play the best. And lose in glory.

[@mouna5252elle]

As a neutral (german moroccan here) i think cadana could get a result against argentina ,yes they are really good but i think its a winnable game just look at what saudi did to them and it wasn't out of pure luck but it was a tactical plan by their manager with players that are lower quality than canada's altought i have no faith in jessie i think with the players that you have you can pull this up as for the other matchs *peru and chily are not good teams i think we (morocco) beat them 3:0 at a time when we had problems in our attack and we saw that in the world cup as for the futur with canada being a pot 1 team in 2026 r16 should be the expectation . i cant wait for that argentina canada match

[@Technical_ability_superiority]

Canada has better players than Saudi, and if they use the same game plan they will win.

[@mouna5252elle]

@@Technical_ability_superiority i agree

[@MenofMañana]

@@Technical_ability_superiority Right. Because Scaloni doesn’t anticipate that Canada will try and match (or at least take from) Saudi Arabia’s tactics. Scaloni won a World Cup, a Copa and a finalissima. He’s a few steps ahead.

[@AgustinRicarte.]

​@@MenofMañanaThis is literally what Guatemala did against Argentina😂

[@delcinreginald]

Guys I’m so sorry for Canada ,that would be great for us but level canada isn’t argentin ,I’m a haïtian I love you.

[@7romboloide]

Argentina have an habit of loosing their first match in international competitions; even against low rated teams. Argentina started six World Cups losing first match. The last time was against Saudi Arabia, in Qatar.

[@ratas290589]

Sir keep in mind, Argentina scored 4 goals on Saudi and one was disallowed by mistake from Martinez. It should have been 2-2. Saudi focused all of their strength and energy on defeating Argentina and not on winning the WC. They really practiced that offside line😆. But we shall see tomorrow.

[@mouna5252elle]

Good luck canada

What should you expect from Canada against Argentina? Mmm... Let me think... I got it! You should expect Jack because Canada is awful and doesn't have the horses to hang with the World Champions. I suggest you guys take a big enough bag to carry all the goals that are coming your way.
