Go Canada Go! They're playing with house money anyway....They weren't even expected to get out of their group.....and after Colombia takes care of Panama tomorrow, they'll be the last North American side standing. I don't expect them to win their next match, but they can play freely in the knowledge that this tournament has already been a huge success. OTOH, an Argentina semi-final loss would be a huge failure.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Goofy way to decide a game. Still a bit of history made today. Best of luck for the next game, they'll need it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johngould21 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 We have two girls from Brazil visiting us. One of them was facetiming with her family back in San Paulo while the game was in shootouts. They were cheering for Canada too. Just after Crapeau made that fabulous save we heard a loud cheer from them. Then our hero scored on our TV. Does ESPN have the rights to COPA? What a game though, if Canada could ever finish some of those chances, these games wouldn't be close. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbieCanuckFan Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) Cool to see Crosby show up to show his support for Canada. Somehow I doubt you'll even see McWhiner do that. Edited July 7 by NewbieCanuckFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had some legit scoring chances in the first game against Argentina. Great test to see what they have learned from the earlier match-up and handling a pressure situation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steev Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I know rankings have their flaws, but it still seems kind of cool to be not losing so badly against the number one ranked team in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great test to see what they have learned from the earlier match-up and handling a pressure situation On the other hand, Argentina realizes Canada had some legit scoring chances in the first game and are probably learning something from that. They won't take Canada as lightly as they might otherwise have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
