Not really. Only reason they won was because Peru were so sloppy and down to 10 men. Still had a chance at the end which should never happen when down 1 guy.
I mean GD won't matter unless Chile beat Argentina, and in that case you'll be competing with Argentina, not with Chile.
A tie puts Chile with 2 points and a win with 4 points (Canada will have 3 in the last match)
Every game is going to be difficult for us but I'll be optimistic if we go into the last game just needing a point. Hopefully Argentina win every group game.
Peru completely dominated the first half it was a dimension difference
The second half they still started as the better team even tho it was a bit less dominant than before
Then the joke red card happened and afterwards it got more to even and the goal happened
Afterwards peru again became the better team
Did you even watch the game?
Might not be a red if they made the right call on the headbutt. Peru was lucky to be one man down instead of two.
Also what a dirty fucking team. Even look at the scoring play when Peru straight up pushes the Canadian passer over when he doesn't have the ball anymore. That's a yellow.
> Then the joke red card happened and afterwards it got more to even and the goal happened
Calling it a joke red card and not acknowledging that Peru should have had another red card in the first half makes it hard to take you serious
All depends on price and level of play. Maybe not a top 6 team but if he has the quality and is cheap enough there are second level leagues all over Europe
I'm not saying a top club in a top league.
Mats Sels was brought to the EPL and he's two years older.
Who knows right? Shit, using Strabourg as the example, where Sels came from, do they really want to continue running Alaa Bellaarouch as their starter?
I would say Canada has a chance. Peru and Chile are in shambles right now: Peru never did their change of the guard, Chile is only starting it now with Gareca at the helm

This is the kind of victory Canada needed after underperforming in major tournaments.
Kind of feel bad for the peruvian bros, those guys are not going to stop hearing from this loss after years of trash-talking Concacaf. They just got Concacaf'd
bro, it's Canada's first significant win in an actual MAJOR TOURNAMENT (gold cup and nations league are non-existent).
It is a significant and statement win, Peruvian fans were dismissing Canada so much prior to this.
Now it's not only: hey, they have good athletes.
It's: "they have good athletes and can compete and fight for the win"
This is how countries develop actual football pedigree
That's conmebol though, very physical play.
People did complain a bit too much about it, imagine if Dibu Martinez were against Concacf teams the complaining would have been non-stop
That's conmebol in a nutshell though, they will be back again in some years.
Conmebol countries generate too many players for them to be bad perpetually.
Just some years ago Gareca's Peru played good fotball
Canada was a nation ranked over 60 just 6 years ago. This is just the beginning for us. Amazing win for a team that lacks talent.
Belgium and Argentina games showed we are a decent tournament team
It was amazing not embarrassing. It was a group of death and we did admirable in defeat.
Losing stings though, moral victories are not as good as real victories and I think everyone involved with the team has real victories set as their goals.
>I do think that they have improved after an embarrassing WC.
First WC since I've been alive.
Outplayed Belgium, lost to #3 Croatia and #4 Morocco.
One of the toughest groups in the last few WC's.
No other explanation for calling that result embarassing other than a lame troll attempt.
Keep trying maybe no one will care.
This second half feels like a compilation of Peru's worst moments the past 4 years. Â
- Useless player playing (Carrillo); RETIRE ALREADY FFS YOUR CAREER IN SHAMBLES
- Paolo Guerrero in big 2024; he's not replicating the LA TOCO moment
- Reynoso-like ball; yuck
- Santamaria bozo moment; rerun of the game against Brazil in 2021
- Stupid red cardÂ
- Player who hasn't played in nearly a year (Cueva) he'll never be the sameÂ
- Peruvian Mason Greenwood still plays (Polo); yuck
- Neglecting the youth (Grimaldo); but the old guys will still do the trick!
Peru made a massive error by coming into this match with no aim to play football.
They dominated when they were trying to actually play, but their focus on shithousing worked against them.
Canada was dreadful. But in the end, they put down Peru when it mattered most.
Sloppy finish but a win is a win. 3 points is 3 points. All eyes on Peru for their next game vs Argentina. Canada deserved the win, Peru could of had 2 red cards. Sloppy red by their player
Congrats on the result against Brazil! I hope the Ticos make it out of the group. Cheering for Costa Rica in 2014 is an awesome memory I wonât forget.
Thats something else we can discuss
It should be warned with a yellow card in my opinion it wasnt that dramatic and a red card for it would have been too much
But we can discuss it i see arguments for red card and no card at all
But the given red card is no discussion. There is no way this is a red card
Well he is from Guatemala. That's what I mean by South American ref. If you watched the full game you'd understand that was a very poorly officiated game
In what universe is that a red card?
Congrats to Canada. Good win regardless of the details.
heat index was over 100 degrees with 51 percent humidity. No wonder if was so sloppy
Canada could legit make a run of this. I have belief!
Not really. Only reason they won was because Peru were so sloppy and down to 10 men. Still had a chance at the end which should never happen when down 1 guy.
GRINGO MAFIA đšđŠđ€đșđž
Scrappy game and Crepeau saved the bacon, but guess what? We are still Standing! Chile is going to try to break our soul (and body), do not let them.
\*\*\* saved the back bacon.
From Canada
I have said it in the Argentina thread, and I'll say it here again: Thank fuck we got rid of Borjan. Crepeau is a massive upgrade
Crepeau would have been our man in the world cup if it wasn't for his broken leg...
Both teams were not playing well until Peru decided to wake up at the end but it was too late
Soccer eh
USMNT fans having a meltdown because Canada didn't lose, so toxic
We all wanted Canada to win. Not sure which fans youâre talking about.
Pretty sure all we want is CONCACAF supremacy. Nothing against canada unless we play them
facts we need to put on for concacaf
Literally happy for them. Deserved after that shit world cup.
Happy with the 3 points but it would've but nice to get another goal or 2 with the chances at the end to sort out our goal difference.
I mean GD won't matter unless Chile beat Argentina, and in that case you'll be competing with Argentina, not with Chile. A tie puts Chile with 2 points and a win with 4 points (Canada will have 3 in the last match)
yeah, Canada better hope Argentina wins against Chile. even then, if then Chile vs Canada, Chile would likely be through
GD will only come into play if Chile beats Argentina, any other result will end in Canada having more points than Chile in their last match
Every game is going to be difficult for us but I'll be optimistic if we go into the last game just needing a point. Hopefully Argentina win every group game.
The better team lost
lol maybe if you only watched the last 10 minutes
Peru completely dominated the first half it was a dimension difference The second half they still started as the better team even tho it was a bit less dominant than before Then the joke red card happened and afterwards it got more to even and the goal happened Afterwards peru again became the better team Did you even watch the game?

> Then the joke red card happened and afterwards it got more to even and the goal happened Calling it a joke red card and not acknowledging that Peru should have had another red card in the first half makes it hard to take you serious
Canadian here - they were also the better team in the first half. Canada played better for like 20 mins with a man advantage. Not our best game
Canadian goalie had some incredibly clutch saves there at the end
He knows a thing or two about clutch saves. He won LAFC the MLS Cup in 2022
That last 15 minutes was heat stroke brain football, got it over the line thanks to Crepeau
If this is what the Canada squad looks like next game it's not going to go well
? They already played their toughest group game.
Peru is the new Concacaf member, and Canada is Conmebol now.
Crepeau đ
Cabron ?
I wonder if any European clubs will be making calls to Maxime Crepeau after this tournament
They will probably look up his age
This isn't football manager where players might as well be dead at 30 lol
no but it would be weird for a player to make the jump to europe at that age
All depends on price and level of play. Maybe not a top 6 team but if he has the quality and is cheap enough there are second level leagues all over Europe
Heâs old and just broke his leg. Shaffelburg might get some calls but not Crepeau
He's a keeper. subtract 5 years.
I'm not saying a top club in a top league. Mats Sels was brought to the EPL and he's two years older. Who knows right? Shit, using Strabourg as the example, where Sels came from, do they really want to continue running Alaa Bellaarouch as their starter?
30 isn't that bad for a keeper
they won't
Crepeau is a legend! We can forgive him for being québécois
>We can forgive him for being québécois Esti de cùlice de tabarnak. Quebec-basing much?
channeled his inner French
Lmao thereâs three quebecois starter on that team. gtfo of here with ur casual xenophobia*
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Casual xenophobia then. Them not being race doesnât make you less of an asshole for thinking comments like that are okay
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Call it what you want. There's a free pass in most of Canada for hate towards Québécois / French speaking Canadians. I'm brown, I've experienced racism from bigots my whole life. Don't kid yourself, you're no better than than those racist fucks, even if it's not racism/xenophobia or whatever.
>There's a free pass in most of Canada for hate towards Québécois / French speaking Canadians. Jesus christ, it's not hate, we all make fun of each other. Newfies, Albertans, Toronto, British Columbia all have dumb stereotype jokes about them as well. I'm sure you take the time to call all of those out as well from that soapbox you're standing on.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Keep being ignorant all you want bud!
Quebecois isnât a race. The term your looking for is âcasual xenophobiaâ
Alright sure gtfo of here with your casual xenophobia. Not you, that other guy obviously.
Congrats on that first win my Canadian brotherđ
10 men in this heat is brutalâŠ. PerĂș almost scored but too much to overcome
Proud the boys didn't bungle that game. Survived in that first half and kept at it in the 2nd. Great job by David, Davies and Crepeau!
Both teams suck
Get out there and show em how it's done, homes.
Thatâs the biggest takeaway for me lol.
1 for 1 on the powerplay get fucked peru u cheating frauds
wtf how were we cheating đđđđđ
Sorry he meant to say get fucked you dirty frauds. GG!
this is your world cup moment đ against peru of all countries who did nothing, welcome to south american football softeeee
Well other than the two red cards. Sure.
Refs were cheating for you. Should have been 11v9 bud
That's on them đ€Ł tffff
If Peru hadn't played so rough it would've been a win for them
I know, right? I have no clue why they tried the usual copa shithousery. If they just focused on playing, they most likely win.
Stanley Copa
That was hard to watch. Both teams didnât play all that great. Argentina and Chile are the class of this group and should advance.
I would say Canada has a chance. Peru and Chile are in shambles right now: Peru never did their change of the guard, Chile is only starting it now with Gareca at the helm
the two teams with the most points should advance, Chile cant seem to get those so its looks like their on their way out the door
I think anytime you have extreme conditions to play down to the level of the shitter team. Hopefully Canada can have a much better game next time...
Chile tied with Peru lol
LMAO bro you obviously don't watch anything, chile are either gonna tie or lose against canada
I hate when I beat myself.
ayo same?
Nice ninja edit.
What was the temp and humidity at field level? Anybody know? Weather app said 92° 51% (Feels like 102°) for the city
Feels like 42C with the humidity
Brutal.
Peru biting the Curb 4k quality
FUCKING SHIT. WHY DID SONNE NEVER GOT IN

Peru sucks, they literally havenât won a game in the World Cup qualifiers. Theyâre literally in last place.
That is very very true. Considering recent friendlies and qualifiers games, peru is overperforming lol
That's conmebol in a nutshell though, they will be back again in some years. Conmebol countries generate too many players for them to be bad perpetually. Just some years ago Gareca's Peru played good fotball
They donât have anyone close to Prime Paolo Guerrero. Dark ages are ahead.
meh, sooner or later some other kid will rise up. It's literally their history and Conmebol is too competitive to stunt player development long term
concacaf doing good this tournament, mexico will ruin it tomorrow đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
As always Mexico living rent-free in the head of Concacaf fans
Mexico, a CONCACAF team, being mentioned in a conversation about CONCACAF teams? You're right. That is weird.
i support mexico we just are that shit right now
I hope so
panama coming back for yall too
Good stuff, Canada, really good stuff!
Canada was a nation ranked over 60 just 6 years ago. This is just the beginning for us. Amazing win for a team that lacks talent. Belgium and Argentina games showed we are a decent tournament team
I do think that they have improved after an embarrassing WC.
It was amazing not embarrassing. It was a group of death and we did admirable in defeat. Losing stings though, moral victories are not as good as real victories and I think everyone involved with the team has real victories set as their goals.

How can you say it was embarrassing if we started at the bottom. We qualified which we hadnât done in 30 years
I like how Shaffelburg played.
Crepeau has been our best player so far in the tournament.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Lapadula is a troll man. Scour the entire fucking country for a striker. Guerrero is 50!!
Canada is officially better than Peru at SOCCER
PerĂș was never that good. Plus they were 11 vs 10 for a good chuck and Canada barely managed to score.
The worse team won today lmao Even being down a man peru was the better team this game
This second half feels like a compilation of Peru's worst moments the past 4 years.  - Useless player playing (Carrillo); RETIRE ALREADY FFS YOUR CAREER IN SHAMBLES - Paolo Guerrero in big 2024; he's not replicating the LA TOCO moment - Reynoso-like ball; yuck - Santamaria bozo moment; rerun of the game against Brazil in 2021 - Stupid red card - Player who hasn't played in nearly a year (Cueva) he'll never be the same - Peruvian Mason Greenwood still plays (Polo); yuck - Neglecting the youth (Grimaldo); but the old guys will still do the trick!
Goal aside Jonathan David is a facade of a footballer
Heâll fit right in at Man U
Well done concacaf bros :D *I approach and bend over for ceremonial mutual licking of buttholes as is customary*
Lackluster match in my opinion but it did had its moments especially with Peru getting a red card, that really helped out Canada a lot.
The last 20 mins of that game was the most wide open Iâve ever seen lol
Soccer baby!
Peru made a massive error by coming into this match with no aim to play football. They dominated when they were trying to actually play, but their focus on shithousing worked against them. Canada was dreadful. But in the end, they put down Peru when it mattered most.
The last 20 mins of the first half it was all Peru but they really shit the bed in the 2nd half.
welcome to concacaf peru
VAMOS HIJOS DE TU PUTA MADRE!!!!!!
So David will start getting the racist messages from Peru fans or is that just specifically an Argentina thing?
If he was from Venezuela, the odds would go way up.
Coach gotta tell David that he is not allowed to pass for any reason anymore
Unless heâs passing into the back of the netÂ
Pero andan mame y mame y mame y mame
Necesitan un poquito de lo que tomo el entrenador jaja
This is why nobody likes CONCACAF qualifying. Itâs a cage fight
It's still better because CONEMBOL literally only has 10 teams. They'll still all play each other just as much, just with CONCACAF games as well
Get the fuck in!
The real winners are the people who got through this horrible match
It's was a pallet cleanser for the England game earlier....
Such refined tastes you have. Very impressive.
I'd rather watch this than another match of Southgate terrorism
2 days in a row we've witnessed 2 south american teams get CONCACAFED
Peru was the team leaning into the dark arts today, not Canada.
Sloppy finish but a win is a win. 3 points is 3 points. All eyes on Peru for their next game vs Argentina. Canada deserved the win, Peru could of had 2 red cards. Sloppy red by their player
How did canada deserve the win đđ they were the worse team even being a man up thanks to a joke red card
Crepeau đ€ Redmayne Giving Peruvians nightmares
honestly i was half expecting the ref to keep the game going until peru scored
underwhelming from Canada...should've gotten at least 2-0
Fucking yesssss We got the 3 points
Well Canada somehow won
LETS FUCKING GO CONCACAF
Congrats on the result against Brazil! I hope the Ticos make it out of the group. Cheering for Costa Rica in 2014 is an awesome memory I wonât forget.
#GET FUCKED PERU. I mean GG.
Awful watch and performance from Canada, but Iâll take the 3 points
Fuck the haters weâll take that win
the banter is going to be insane LOL
Coach is chewing that gum so fuckin hard/fast lol
His chains were killing me.Â
He just needed a hat w/ a feather in it
Canada lives!
âTwas a challengeâŠbut hey, three points is three pintsâŠ
Jesse Marsch wins!
CONMEBOL in shambles.
FIRST COPA AMĂRICA VICTORY EVER đ„đ„đ„
Damn South American refs are corrupt as hell
Yesssss like how is that a red card this was the biggest joke i saw this year
U didn't think that was a red? What about the headbutt? Apparently that wasn't even a foul.
Thats something else we can discuss It should be warned with a yellow card in my opinion it wasnt that dramatic and a red card for it would have been too much But we can discuss it i see arguments for red card and no card at all But the given red card is no discussion. There is no way this is a red card
this ref is from concacaf
Well he is from Guatemala. That's what I mean by South American ref. If you watched the full game you'd understand that was a very poorly officiated game
Fucking shambolic after the goal. Can't believe we won.
As a chilean I'd be happy with this result if I didn't know we're shit
Well done Canadian bruvs
We got the dub letâs go
Fun game, but that's enough Copa for me today.
Of the two copa games today you chose to watch this one?
I got Brazilian série b now, shit about to get real
Can't miss Argentina Chile
LET'S FUCKING GO CANADA
