Mexico vs. Canada LIVE Watchalong | International Friendly

all right hello everyone welcome back to jdtv I'm your host FR Josh Deming and we are here for the watchalong between the Mexican national team who is technically the home team and the K man's national team and we got the lineups up and we're pretty much ready to go game I thought was supposed to start at 8:30 I think that there was a 30 minute delay or something along those lines so um I ended up pushing the stream a little bit here so yeah let's uh let's get right into it say hello in the chat if you guys are tuning in today and let me know your thoughts on the starting 11 so there was some news that happened around two the players on the canaman national team the first is that Joel Waterman left the camp because he had an injury and the bigger news is that Jacob schafberg left the camp because I believe his wife is expecting to give birth to their uh child in I'm assuming the very near future so he left camp for that so a big congratulations to Jacob schafberg very cool moment for him and his family for those of you guys who who are not sure why uh chelberg is not there um so guys drop a big congratulations in the chat for Jacob chelberg um his wife is expecting to give birth and a very cool moment for him but this is the starting 11 Canada is going I'm assuming it's going to be a 4231 danne stclair is the keeper there's no surprise there with the two friendlies you assume that kpo was going to get one and Dane was going to get the other Richie Lara comes in for aliser Johnson at right back Jesse Marsh goes with his two starting center backs which I love to see bombito Cornelius I expected bomito to start because he's got a red card with uh with nice so you know you don't really got to rest him now that that's Jesse's responsibility but I kind of thought that Cornelius would have been rested for one of waterman or Kamal Miller obviously with the injury to uh joob Waterman it would have been Kamal Miller but I'm glad to see Cornelius is in there Davies rounds out the back four the Midfield the two defensive midfielders I assume are going to be Stephanie stako and mat Schwaner right attacking mid will be Ali Amed C Center attacking mid will be Jonathan aoro left attacking mid will be Liam Miller and the lone Striker will be Kyle lren so just ignore that lineup a little bit for uh um foot mob you know they do what they can but that is what I'm assuming so one Striker system and it's Kyle Aon so he's the player I'd like to see the honestly score of tonight he's the I just I feel like once he scores and breaks his duck he's on I like because he's he's playing well it's just when it comes to putting the ball in the back of the net he's falling short and that's very important when you're going to be a striker so I really hope this is his his opportunity uh Jonathan Zoro I think could be in for a good match as well I think tactically it makes more sense for him to play this match against Mexico so I'm going to be keeping an eye on him and then Lee Miller I thought he looked really good coming off the bench against the United States he's you know taking some heat from time to time from Canadian fans but I do think that he can be a player on this team and this is a perfect opportunity to see what he can do so if you guys are just tuning in today drop a like on the sub say hello let me know your guys' thoughts on the starting 11 and I'm going to start ripping through some questions here before kickoff we are about 10 10 or so minutes away so I'll try to get to Rapid Fire as many questions as I can here for you guys uh so let's get going um just hoping we get to see Seager play this time I don't know obviously Seager had the injury before um I I believe his final match before this window he played like 15 minutes so it wouldn't be surprising if we saw him maybe get about 15 minutes in this game definitely keeping an eye out for him uh I'd love to see it as well and that probably the player Off the Bench I'd be the most excited to see for Canada today uh big congratulations Jacob schafberg um like I mentioned his wife is uh soon to be giving birth so we're giving uh sha some love here um part of the reason I mean I don't think he would have started anyways honestly I think shaffle BG probably would have been on the bench but more than likely would have came off the bench uh I was expecting Liam Miller to start but obviously with him not there that's the obvious case I hope Seager so a lot of you guys want to see Seager get today and I do too I mean there's you know that's pretty obvious uh let me know your guys score predictions as well I do want to toss that in there I don't know how you guys are feeling um I think I said two nothing Mex or two nothing Canada this morning um I was feeling confident uh it's still a pretty strong lineup it's basically Dane in for Max which I think's fine Richie comes in for Johnston aoro comes in for David Miller comes in for schafberg so not that much uh Miller likely to play Left Right or up top so he'll he'll he'll play on the left he'll play on the left hand side I'm assuming this will be a 4231 I just don't have the uh you know I just I'm just using the foot mode because it's there um now game was scheduled to start at 9 Josh I don't know why I I saw I was seeing 8:30 I mean a few different Outlets were showing 830 I mean I probably should have checked one soccer cuz they said nine so you know probably should have been smarter there um one soccer has Amed on the left and Miller on the right uh I I doubt it um I could be I mean I could be wrong unless someone's talked to some someone else but I mean Alli played on the right in the last game and Liam plays exclusively on the left um I'd be surprised but I mean they're Wingers that you know you can easily see see them swap throughout the match I would expect but who knows like we'll have to wait and see but I would expect allly starts down the right and Miller starts down the left uh and one soccer as I know because I work there um you you will see Graphics sometimes where like a Winger will will be swapped it's not actually how how you play but I don't know maybe they know something I don't um that is the official lineup for Mexico um malagon is between the sticks arujo down the right Vasquez and Guzman um pin is one to keep a eye on Santi heenez is is a big one as well Romo is you know pretty pretty strong looking Mexican starting 11 um G wera is a player that I really like to watch down down the left-hand side so I'm curious to keep out that um match up with him and Ahmed or I guess who's ever down that rightand side along with Richi Lara uh but I don't know any Mexican supporters in the chat let me know how how would you rate this Mexican starting 11 um in terms of it being your best available uh I'm I'm familar with the Mexican group I mean Montes I would have assumed is probably your other starting center back so he's not in the front three looks pretty good uh I don't know I'd probably say like an eight or 10 maybe I'm wrong correct me if I'm wrong do you think Seager gets minutes tonight I do uh un I mean unless it was decided beforehand but I would assume they were if they're going to bring him to the camp you know we we should probably expect him to get some minutes he played about 15 in his final match for his club team so that's what I'm kind of expecting um the key wordss in what you said coming off the bench I don't like Miller starting hope he proves me wrong I think it's a big opportunity for him I really do I thought he looked I thought he looked really good coming off the bench he brought a lot of energy and if he can you know do that from the beginning and I personally thought he had a good game against Argentina and cop America a lot of you guys don't agree with me but I thought he brought a lot of energy and I want to watch to see how that link up works with Liam Miller and Alonso Davies if indeed Miller is down the left hand side which I think he will be um would also like to see AA come in to get some minutes I would too Marsh said he was going to play in both matches so we saw him in one so we'll uh I'm assuming we'll probably see him in this one at some point let me know you guys' score predictions get them in uh Mexican soccer is never going to come back if they don't give the new blood a chance yeah yeah Ian Matt malo's a solid keeper but yeah I I 100% get your point score score predictions for today we got two nothing Canada one nothing Canada uh it's Taco Tuesday baby one nothing Canada uh viewing from Ottawa good to see you doing a watch along Josh you still in Paris Cambridge area I am in like in that area um probably about 35 minutes from from Paris uh why is David not starting I'm assuming just rest or to get a look um maybe Jesse Marshall wants Kyle aen to score I'm hoping that's the case because if anybody needs a if anybody needs a goal tonight it's Kyle Aon if anyone needs a not a necessarily A a good game but like a statement game um I'd probably give that to Liam Miller I think he's got a lot to prove tonight uh good to see Schwaner in the pitch again yeah he had an excellent match an excellent excellent match uh I'm excited to see what he can do alongside yakio just raises some questions for uh Jesse Marsh when you pitch the Midfield you know you pitcher yakio you pitcher K all of a sudden Schwaner is in here putting in performances like that just got the move to Europe uh definitely a player to keep an eye on uh footmob had Cornelius at right wing and on that at right center back last game they did this one's closer this one's closer it's it's the same back four uh yakio shanir the two defensive midfielders Amed on the right Miller on the left aoro is the 10 and Len up front um 31 Canada how was your conversation with Jack it was great I really enjoyed chatting with him we had a video out on his channel uh just talking about Kings of conaf let me know what you guys think who who do you believe or how would you define Kings ofak conaf and who do you think is the king of Zak cona CAF because you wanted to go check out that uh video on deadball TV with Jack we had a nice conversation around it I basically just said you need to give me a definition if we're going like like kings of conaf means all time Canada is not in the discussion it would be Mexico and if you're going in you know current Kings of cona in certain moments I think Canada definitely has has a shout especially coming off of a a strong cope America and you know defeating the us but you know it's fun we we also need silverware we haven't we haven't got that yet so it's kind of hard to call yourself a king without uh without at least one trophy to our names in recent time uh Dan Sinclair is a big question mark for me in two friendly matches it's always expected that the keepers are more than likely going to switch um I think I don't know I think Dane I think it's a good opportunity for danne as well wasn't I didn't like the fact that we kind of sounds harsh but I I wish we would have kept Creo in for the third place match against Uruguay because he was I'm in my opinion The Keeper of the tournament and I don't know I think maybe that game could have wenton a little different I think her attack will struggle a bit with lren instead of David or Tanny I'm curious though um for a long time we saw David and lren not really being able to get on together and usually when there's a player dropped it's lren not David so I'm very curious to see how this game goes playing in this system with one Striker and that one Striker being Kyle aen I don't know why I have a sneaky suspicion that maybe he puts in a pretty good performance today and scores a goal or two I don't know why I just I get what you're saying it's it's I just think maybe Marsh wants to see see something different from Len so maybe maybe that's it to give David a little bit more rest because David's a player who will be playing every minute with Le where Kyle Aaron's a player who's not getting a lot of looks with mayorca to be fair Miller was phenomenal Off the Bench he was very good um Meg is not having it he says why are replacing our faith in Miller and lren he hasn't had a scoring touch in almost a year no schafberg I don't expect Canada to concede but I have High Hopes from them scoring what I'm really looking forward to in this game is to see if they can bring that same intensity that same press that they did against the United States because Mexico had a ton of time on the ball against New Zealand uh they it that game could have been honestly like six seven nothing they're not GNA have that if Canada could play any way any way anywhere close the way that they played against the United States I think they're going to make this very difficult on Mexico uh so I'm I'm really excited this match to be honest just to see if Canada goes into a window with the United States and Mexico and if they can win both I think that's friendlies or not I think that's a statement but we're kickoff is about to happen ladies and gentlemen if you're joining us in the stream drop a like say hello let me know where you're tuning in from today and let's sit back and enjoy this match together especially if you're a Canadian fan because we're on a bit we're on a bit of a roll feels pretty good coming off a strong C America followed up with another great performance against the United States uh I'm ex I don't know I'm I'm I would like to top it off with another Victory here today uh we got a nil nil and 1-1 prediction we got another one-1 prediction uh thoughts on yakio possibly moving on from Porto to get some minutes seems like he's been limited this season I I'm I think I'm torn on yakio I feel like he can break into the Porto starting 11 um I think I'll have to wait and answer that question in January if he really really struggles and it's just basically an afterthought then I think it'd be a a good opportunity for him to get maybe get a lone move but I I I think that there's a chance he he can push four minutes um I think he really likes being in Portugal I think he really likes being with Porto and I think he's got a role to play this season but that can change honestly if he if he's just a complete afterthought and doesn't get any looks then I don't want to see one of our best players sitting there because the last little bit with Porto has been has been a bit of a struggle I agree aoro is getting a goal tonight uh Gold Cup winner is the king I don't know that like it's hard to Define because Mexico sent their a squad United States sent their C Squad we do need some silverware though I I won't call ourselves well I don't know I think we're close but I think we need to win I I would be comfortable calling Canada the current current Kings but we need to win one of the tournaments uh in 2025 I'd really like to see Russell R come on in the 60th minute I'd like to see Russell R come on as as well uh maybe for an aoro and you switch back to a 442 system and play him up top with with Len like I I wouldn't mind that at all I think Miller's gonna score tonight I'm let's let's let's put it down I'm gonna be I'm I I'll give you guys my prediction but I'm gonna go very bold I'm gonna say two nothing Canada Kyle lren scores Liam Miller scores that is that is a bold that a bold bold pick but I'm I'm going to go with it and we are off and running I'm gonna move like that and then just have the score line there but let me know let me go your guys' prediction or a bold prediction for tonight but I feel like that's pretty bold two nothing Canada with a len and a a uh Liam Miller goal uh not Kings but maybe airs woo I like that I like that I don't know why this is all right there we go beautiful all right let's do this let's go Canada 42 game for the Reds I like it the game started I wasn't even watching okay we're up and run all right let's do this from your fingertips to Liam's boots uh let me know how you guys are feeling let me know where you're tuning in from today I am like our friend in the chat said somewhere near Paris Cambridge Branford Ontario um I think we're the best team in cona but we won't be Kings until we win a trophy I I think that's totally fair it was a good conversation and I think everyone's got a different opinion on what Kings of conaf really means I just I don't know I don't think of of all time no way like like we're we're not we're not the kings of cona but current there's an argument but we still need a trophy man yeah I agree with boss Beast need a trophy Nations League or Gold Cup whatever got a 2-1 prediction coming in for Canada got an early corner kick already schaner over it remember I said Liam Miller Kyle Len scoring tonight two nothing win Canada I haven't been following Porto as much but it sounded like yakio was still doing well just the manager selection preference I think yakio is underrated and could do solid work in the Prem I don't know if he was to lead Porto I don't know where I can pitch yakio going I always said Braga could be like a a sneaky little loone move solid oh here comes Len off to a decent start could be could be a nice little move like it's a solid team in Portugal still where he wants to be it's not one of the big three he'd probably get a ton of minutes um nice ball from Miller but I don't I don't know I also La Liga I mean with Spain being right there maybe that makes makes sense one of the mid Mish table teams I don't know let me know what you guys think about yakio it's a good question if you guys want do you guys want to see usako maybe move if he can't get decent playing time um in the first half of the season and if so where would you want him to go ahed gets off the mark for Canada in my prediction I like that Ali almed was phenomenal right now if you're looking at a couple Players whose stock is pretty much going through the roof from this Camp it would be Amed and Schwaner those are the two players that come to mind I mean bombo had an excellent match so to David but I mean they're they're players we already rate Davy scores in the last 30 after adak comes on for Miller games on one soccer and fubo if you're in Canada Canada's missing shaffle BG Johnston con and Buchanan but still solid yeah which is crazy it's nice because there's players that are stepping up when you when you just name the players that we're missing right now without Johnson it's nice you have depth there you have a Richie Lara without um con you have a schaner who's coming in big with a nice performance gets another start I think alied could push Buchanan for a starting spot and I think I was talking with some of you guys in the last watch along and a lot of you guys agree with me which is crazy to think that you have a player at Inon I know he's injured right now and obviously when he's back I just the way that Allie's playing I don't know man yanan's had a tough go recently with the Men's National Team he's not getting a lot of minutes with inter there's an opening there down the right hand side and the way that alied has been playing for the white cops and playing with Canada I can see it let me know if you guys agree with that no China says I got a piss Moss sport says nice JD watchong welcome welcome say hello in the chat if you guys are just tuning in we're five minutes into this game and we are chatting Kings of conquer Cav but I'll say it up without a definition just let me know who who's the kings of cona right now you can give contact that's a nice zorio goes for it K's off to a decent start right now nicely done from Cornelius getting a foul there great to have Davies but I don't don't feel like we're as desperate to have him in the lineup to be confident and competitive yeah I mean we learned a little bit about that during World Cup qualifying I know it was a while ago but during World Cup qualifying I mean we didn't have a ton of players break out the way that they have recently so when we had a Alonso Davies not in the lineup like we were terrified we thought that with some of the injuries he picked up during that run would that impact us qualifying for the World Cup and honestly a lot of Canadians can probably agree sometimes they would Davies we played better and the beautiful thing about what Jesse Marsh has done is he's playing at left back and I think some of the biggest issues that Davies has run into is that he is the most talented and the best player on this team hands down you can't deny it Alonso Davies is Canada's best player but because he's Canada's best player and he was at a time so far like he was the player you need to get the ball to he played in the middle of the park he would go in and play as a 10 he would play as a striker he mainly played as a Winger but he drifted wherever he wanted to because this was his team and we played basically to kind of get the ball to him and when he had the ball he did a little too much so when he was missing during World Cup qualifying I there was a big debate with Canadian fans is this team playing better without Davies there and the interesting thing that Jesse Marsh did is just basically no we're better with Davies but let's put him as a natural position let's put him in the back four and every game that Davies has played in this back four he's played really well and he's been not as not like you don't notice him as much obviously playing further back than when he's playing as a Winger but it's almost a good thing because he just he's he's just quietly doing his role and then when he has an opportunity to bomb up the pitch he will do it because he's an attack-minded player and I just think he really settles his back for sorry for my long rant on up Ono Davies but I just really like that he's playing at last back in this back forward I think it makes this team on paper look great and their performance is great you got a player playing for Celtic Marse nce and Bayern that is Canada's back four all of a sudden but let me know do you guys agree do you like Davies at left back or did you want to see adaku maybe play at left back and push Davies higher up the pitch let me know I'm sold that Davies needs to play left back period for Canada bro Canada is the king of conera coner probably hasn't been this wide open for years since the Inception yeah don't don't sleep on Panama either they've had a good little run as well uh Davies at Bayern is not as good as three four years ago yeah yeah he had a couple big breakout Seasons um kind of went quiet injuries haven't helped uh going into being a free agent I think there's a lot of opportunities for Davies I mean usually you just saw Real Madrid being the one main team for Davies but recently I mean I've seen Arsenal Chelsea City I don't know how legit the rumors are but you're starting to see more teams kind of getting involved um I absolutely agree Davey should stay at left back just whether he should be involved more in the attacking threat I think Davies will like I that's what I I liked at least with the last few performances is he's not going to throw himself in a stupid position he's being very responsible he's just simply playing his game and if there's opportunity to go forward he he will take it of course he will but he's not uh he's not he's not putting the back line at risk by making poor decisions bombing with the pitch there's Oso um David Davies on freeze could be awesome yeah d d the rumors I'm seeing with David is um and I mean ital top Italian teams love free agents so intalan and Juventus are the two teams I'm seeing the most right now being linked to Jonathan David I'd like him at juuve I think that he could be a a good dual Striker with vavich I think that could really work um I'm not sure about inter I think he could play well there I just don't know what the minutes will look like they have a ton of Strikers already I don't really want David to go somewhere where he's um like first man Off the Bench uh borean is the king of cocka H so who knows that Milan borean is still playing football because he's hanging out in Saudi getting um a big paycheck out there uh so it's good to see borang a lot of good memories with him uh USA tied New Zealand was what was the final score of the US game that's a tough window takes an L against Canada but it's not it's not even that it's just that they played awful against us we picked up the win and then they just drew against New Zealand a team that Mexico just spanked was it was it nil nil 1-1 what was the final score of the US game kpo is the number one but encourag to see D stclair get some more experience yeah I feel very comfortable with kpo um as our keeper going into 2026 I mean I I thought he was The Keeper of the tournament in CP America the reason Martinez won is because Argentina won and he was good too but um kpo was incredible we would not have G as deep in the tournament if he wasn't playing the way that he was um I'm a big fan of Dane too I just don't think uh I don't know man I just I just don't think he can he's gonna get ahead of kpo anytime soon nicely Don from Richie Boran Rock and sweatpants and s i I love that he's still playing um he he had a tough breakup with red star went over to um uh BR SL slovin Bros Slava I believe um and trying to remember who I think he was a free agent then he went to um then he went to Saudi which is just an interesting career path for Boran 89th minute go for New Zealand anyone watched fipo how is he feeling after that uh but pettino is going to the any us fans in the uh in the chat let me know how you're feeling because this was a disastrous window for you guys but you got patino finally you got your man so I mean speaking to someone who I mean I think the the Canadian 2023 was a disaster and I felt horrible going into cop America I did not think that we were G to have a fourth place finish and all of a sudden Jesse Marsh comes in and it just lifts the spirits so if you're An American in the chat let me know how you guys are feeling you like the poch signing do you think that you know he can at least get you guys playing better than what you have uh what happened to Milan borean I missed that guy he's playing in Saudi he is playing in Saudi starter up there obviously as well um probably a lower to relegation type team uh would Prime Dro make the current Squad I think so Prime Dro was a hell of a player well I'm yeah I'm GNA say yes straight up yes he he would he was Unreal oh bomito a boy bito gets himself in a little bit of trouble there but does well I was talking about bombo in the last game because he he had such an incredible match but but after his recovery speed which is Sensational he is so clever with the way that he puts his body in a good position to win a foul um or just see the ball out he did that a few times in the last match and he got himself in troubl right there so that's on him but he did really well to at least win the foul and you know not uh not be in trouble there uh I'm a US fan but two players for New Zealand play or played for my Timbers um why does Boran not play for Canada anymore uh just not good enough anymore past his uh past his prime Boran was a great servant to uh the Men's National Team though a lot of really good memories with him I'm glad I'm glad he's still playing I hope he's getting I hope he's getting the bag out there in Saudi I really do he was a character character and he he was a big leader on this team as well is Davies the best Canadian player in history I would say so you guys can let me know in the chat if you think there's another player who's best Canadian all time I think it goes to Davies I think he's already accomplished so much it's crazy to see that he's only early 20s still and can have a long that's poor long career ahead of him will cop America always be in the US Canada and Mexico uh no or will always be with no I don't I don't I would say no cop America's had a lot of different uh formats in the recent years like there's only 10 South American teams so sometimes they'll just straight up do uh two groups of five and then the like the one the one group that has five four would move on the other group that's got five four move on then they do a quarter finals with the you know one V4 and they you you swap it they do it usually with two guest teams to make a 12 team tournament uh but I think the best cop America is the one when you include conquer cap Nations the 10 South American teams bring in um six teams from conaf make it a 16 team tournament I think that's the way that it should be going forward I think it's great for our region gives us a like a massive tournament with huge Nations great experience um and I just think the tournament looks so much cleaner that way I don't really like the you know the two guest teams like I think one like Mexico's been in it before as a guest team like Japan um I can't remember but I'm assuming Qatar might have had an opportunity there maybe not uh would love to see another black third kit for Canada I agree with that 100% the black kit is clean Mexico's already a little bit more up for this fight though than o the Big Challenge there for sure getting a little heated in this friendly [Music] already that was a tough Challenge on Davies fight fight Davies and David still young with our whole team oh yeah man we got some good years to come now I don't think I don't think he actually got Davies did he he might have a pretty rash challenge though this this game is just already so different than the United States game United States just did not show up it's like they didn't want to be there they didn't give a crap about the game uh Canada definitely cared about it they showed up they had intensity they just made it so ugly for the United States Mexico is up Mexico's up for it man 18 minutes in it's getting a little chippy a little feisty uh Canada I don't think is quite as you know playing quite as intense as they did in the US game which is a tough level to uh to maintain throughout but I still say Canada's probably been the better team so far in the opening 18 or so minutes but I like it makes for more entertaining watch kpo and St Clair are better now and we got young ones coming up too we do Jonathan sea is a good keeper to have Owen Goodman's a good dual National we have in um League 2 in England we have McGill as well I I I think M Mill's go to have a big season and get a move if he's going to push I'd ra honestly I'd rather have just kpo Dane stclair and Sewell right now as the as the main three but you can notice it I mean the thing about the United States game was every time they touched the ball we were all over them and we don't have Jonathan David in this team right now and I personally don't really think azoro overly fits the way that this team plays I'm I'm curious to see if that has anything to do with it but the way that we were pressing that first match was crazy you had you had lren going off of David you had chaur and Amed on the wings Shaner yakio they just had no time no space they were creating so many turnovers in dangerous areas and it's it's easy to do that when one team is just so far up for it and the other one is just taking a nap Jonathan David put in a phenomenal performance but United States are like they just had no time where Mexico right now they have a bit of time on the ball and I'm curious to see how uh how that changes because without David from the front I don't I don't know I just I don't think Len can quite do that my boy Davies uh yeah we're missing davies's or David's pressing intensity not as confident in our play so far no we don't look I mean we don't look the way that we did against the United States but I I mean we we just came out for it you know you know sometimes that's another it's another challenge there that's got to be a yellow that's two now oh yeah like that's that's Pro like that's probably that's probably a yellow card on SCH here know especially because that's the second time Ro Rojo's done that I don't know that was Reckless should have been a yellow I feel like he feel like Aro should have a yellow B now chaffle BG was good too um I already dislike this ref not taking control yeah I mean that's two challenges I I'm I'm surprised that's not a yellow given it for at least one probably and there's another one like Mexico it's a it's a it's a pretty aggressive game so far man con aens asking for a card I swear after after Co the boys are learning a trick or two it's chippy though good experience man good experience Canada needs to know how to play when it you know when push comes to shove and the you know the the dirtiness the tricks they they need to know how to play through it they're getting frustrated so far three challenges that you know you could argue maybe a card should be at least giving out for one of them um see how they can uh cope with it they're going to be like this all night aren't they um you're not winning the ball and going with studs when you're on the knee um Jesse Marsh is doing better than I thought he would do yeah I think I mean the nice thing about Jesse Marsh is that I think he perfectly fits this player pool and obviously it's it's so important when it comes to national team to have a coach that fits your player pool because you can't just go out and sign players and I think poino is a fantastic manager I'm excited to kind of see how he settles in with the US team because we've seen plenty of good club managers move over to the national team and not quite be able to do it because they have to work with the players that they have it works out really nicely when the profiles of the players that you have match what you want to do and the game against the United States if any of you in the chat didn't see it go watch it because that looks exactly like how Jesse Marsh wants this team to play and he has players that fit exactly what he wants to do when you like the press and you have one of the best pressing Strikers in World football and Jonathan David it's the reason he can shine that way off the ball let alone what he can do when he when he's on it um oh did he get a yellow card in the 18th minute I didn't even see that I'm not listening to the game so maybe that's maybe that's on me Brazil's losing as well which is interesting um did he get a yellow I oh we did yeah he he did can anyone confirm in the chat did did jul get yellow I think he did I didn't see it on this on the screen I'm not listening to it so maybe maybe I missed that but all right well good he deserved one typically cona high intensity Ted lasso did get that 100% right uh yes dav's fouled um oh nice run well that's that's a put it dead he got a yellow in the 18th minute nice that was a good run from Ahmed there Canadian fans need to quit crying this is conaf it's tough out there this ain't Europe hey I I said it I said it's it's going to be a good experience man you need you need to know how to play this style and it's not just conaf you saw it at cop America as well United States didn't bring any of that because they just straight up didn't want to play that last game it seemed like I think Mexico's been up for it so far they've been chippy they've made it interesting they frustrated some of the Canadian players we have Miller oh you stako outside of the foot Brazil's losing to Paraguay that's [Music] wild this ref is crazy H kilo is done with the ref oh that's another foul man there just and there's another yellow look at aled getting in his face oh this game is entertaining got I mean it's a lot more choppy than the United States game was man holy do you know where with a a yellow there just gives a big old kick to Richie yeah that was a deserving so Mexico with two yellow cards already 25 minutes in it's cona baby that's what that is uh brazila is so bad they should do better with such a squad oh yeah well Paraguay has had a awful qualifying spell as well they were they were sitting in like eighth or something like Brazil's closer towards not making it into the World Cup than making it I believe in the standings at least so I think I think they were at fifth getting their butts kicked shocking yellow love Amed yeah I'm telling you guys I I don't think it's crazy let me know in the chat do you think that ahed can push Buchanan for the starting spot even when he's back healthy because from what I've seen from Buchanan over the past year or so with the national team I'm I'm not convinced he can come in at least down the right like I think amed's been that that good I'm curious maybe Buchan gets push up left that could be an option as well you have shaffle BG Miller competing for that spot I don't know but I don't think buchanon's walking back into this squad I don't think his Club situation is gonna get even easier when it comes to game time but this was supposed to be a big year for him you know he came in in January kind of had a bit of a transition got used to the league used to the training playing at a much higher level uh got some minutes towards the end of the year off the bench and then obviously see that injury this year just sucks for him because it would have been great to have a oh nice run is that is that all that again that's a foul for sure ky's having a tough tough time right now I think that was a men man that was nasty year I would say amed's probably been Canada's best player so far let me know if you guys agree uh what Club does Buchanan play for he plays for Inter Milan he was at Club Rouge and he got a January move to Inter Milan but barely featured barely featured um and then like it was just you know it was it was nice because he he got used to the league got used to like the level and if he would have been healthy going into preseason I think he would had a better opportunity um but unfortunately you know the injury put him back a little little bit so we'll see we'll see at Rainbow flick he did that one game I forgot against two this is when I got on when I got off the Buchanan bandwagon Buchanan can certainly walk into this squad he's a baller he's a baller man I love ton Buchanan I loved watching him have the break like a breakout performance at the 2021 Gold Cup the goal he scored against Mexico um I'm a big fan of Buchanan I just I just don't think his recent performances have been that good with the national team and and Ali ahed's has been that good every time he's played for Canada he excites me watching him at the Gold Cup with her kind of her B Squad watching him then take the Step Up um at cop America we didn't get to see him a lot but when when we did I thought he was I thought he was excellent and the last match to well I thought he was the best performer of the first half in the US game and even today I mean the Mexican um players are definitely definitely bugging him a little bit but he still finding space he's still trying to uh be direct be tricky he's a baller and we've interviewed Alex and I have interviewed him I think a couple times or at least at least once or I'm trying to remember how many times I interviewed him I think twice and he talked about how much he likes like you know playing footall playing street ball like uh he's good he's very technically gifted he's very good with the ball at his feet uh with moves like that aled can go far right on Q I'd like to see him get a uh I'd like to see him get a move to Europe I think he everyone always asks like if it's shaffle BG um or Amed next man up to leave Major League Soccer and go to Europe I'm leaning more towards Ali just because I mean schafberg is a big family guy his his wife's obviously close to having a child he's a fan favorite in Nashville um and friend of the channel of mine man veth put out a pretty a pretty like strong tweet but I it made sense um just kind of saying like yeah shaur has been incredible which he has mostly when he he plays for Canada but he hasn't really been able to keep that consistency with Nashville um he needs to he need he needs to be a little bit more impactful I think to maybe get a club in Europe to look at him but the nice thing about International Football is um at Big tournaments like C America I think the opportunity might have been there for him to really push for a for a move if he want it because he just does it on such a big platform but for the I know I I could see him having to take a step up for his Club to maybe get a move down the line as for Ahmed I think he's doing it right now with the white caps I think that he's just got that he's that technically the gifted type of player where I think there's already clubs kind of monitoring him to see you know when when he's ready he can play in several different positions as well um and he's been balling up for Canada recently so I just think it's a matter of time let's not forget Buchanan has a goal with inter he does I mean I'm not saying Buchanan can't walk in this team and he he is that good he's playing at inter milalan for a reason I'm just saying that alied has also been that good and maybe it's gonna make Jesse Marsh think you know can you know can he do um what I've been asking of Amed am I gonna have to move him to the leth hand side now because I really like Amed down the right Amed could absolutely he is much more versatile I prefer ton in the attacking send also game time is a concern for both guys I think it's definitely more of a concern for Buchanan I don't know what is I don't know what he's going to look like when he gets to uh when he gets to inter because it was so difficult for him trying to get any minutes and Inter ran away with the title last year and zagi was very particular about when he wanted to give Buchanan minutes and I remember how many intro games I watched last year just hoping that he'd come off the bench I'm like okay like they're against like one of the worst teams in the league they've already basically wrapped up the title and you still barely see him or you only see him for the last five or so minutes he was not handing out minutes very easily and now with Buchanan missing you know preseason and the you know everything's back underway um coming off that injury I just I want to see what kind of uh what kind of shape he's in when he gets back uh but he's a good player though like you know he he he can fit that system it just kind of seems like he's starting from behind the eightball let's not forget that tajon was benched at Copa he just didn't look great before his injury um yeah I agree well that's why I said like he's I think that that's a good point like I I don't think he's been playing great for Canada for basically all 2023 and the cop America he didn't look overly good uh and then he went out with the injury which which sucked um but where's schelberg he went to be with his wife who's expecting to have a child so we gave a big congratulations to Jacob schelberg and we wish him the best hopefully his uh baby comes out with hair's lovely is his uh but yeah cool moment for schafberg for sure you guys are just joining us in the chat drop a like say hello uh let me know where you guys are tuning in from let me know what your thoughts on the game so far very different watch uh 33 minutes into this game uh versus the United States game not that Canada has been playing bad I think they've been the better team it's just just Mexico is a little bit more up for it than the United States are uh it's been chippy it's been stop and start it Canada just played so well in the last game that every single time United States pretty much had the ball they were under pressure we were creating chances it was a lot more entertaining it just seemed like one team that just wanted it and one team that did not this one's just a little bit uglier a little more cona style to it um I think having Jonathan David not in the starting 11 is is no noticeable um I think aoro Len maybe not it in terms of what Jesse wants to do amed's impressed me it's a port ball from malagan I know let me know what what's you guys' biggest takeaway so far if sha become a player that mostly turns up for Nations as opposed to club like hamus Rodriguez would that be a bad thing not a bad thing for us as a Canadian fan um oh I see done but I I don't know I like I want to see all like all Canadian players Thrive at Club level as well it's always great watching them compete for uh and and play well for country because it's exciting but I I think shaf can I think cha can step his game up definitely at Club level I think he can get a move to Europe if he wanted to but if he doesn't want it there's nothing wrong with being a a good MLS level player long as he keeps showing up for Canada and playing the way he is I don't have that many complaints because a player like which is crazy because a player like Jacob schafberg who's playing at Nashville had a like a 10 times better tournament than a player like ton Buchanan at least in the games that Buchanan was there before the injury chaur basically put Buchanon on the bench and you have you have one playing at inan and one playing at Nashville it's you know it's form fows are 13 for Mexico two for Canada that is wild I think ton will end up on loan somewhere oh I don't know I don't know what I would I I hope he gets a full year at enter before entertaining aone move that's good ball Zoro he's got Miller with him because poor ball it's tough because he only had half the season on a team that was flying high at top of the table and he wasn't giving a lot of looks this was supposed to be his opportunity this year then the injury just you know put him a little bit behind so I'm I don't know we'll have to wait and see we'll see we'll have to wait and see how he does when he comes back from injury if he can push at any type of minutes I don't think he'll go to un loan this year maybe if he gets healthy and just can't get game time maybe next season we can see him going loan for for the year but who knows maybe he comes back is given a couple chances and can lock down a starting spot uh yeah let me know what you guys big biggest takeaway was this has been a very I don't know know entertaining but not really like a pretty watch biggest takeaway the Mexican Play Dirty team lacks a lot without David Miller should be a sub shanier is very confident depth is improving I like that I like that um yeah I don't know I feel I feel like John's David for sure is is being missed right now lren and Zoro I think has been very quiet um I think Richie's looked good aled's look good schaner look good but Canada just hav haven't been able to really you know win the ball back in in important areas like they did in the US match as I say that leam Miller gets a little bit of an interception there which is nice they're just not pressing the same way that they they did in the other match playing a very different different style different intensity but they still having a decent amount of the ball Thea Zoro Amed look at that underlapping run what a run from Richie what no that was an excellent run little pattern of play there why didn't you play that H can we get some shots on goal Canada dominates 550 challenges so far that's annoying that sucks that was a good chance that was a really good good run I think I think honestly the probably the best duo on the pitch so far would be Richie and ammed kind of looks like we're going to create something going be down that right hand side what's up with the jebson guy I I asked Jesse Marsh a question on jebon he was he's a little I don't know he kind of gave a smile but said he it said he's very aware of jebson um but I think we'll have to wait and see I I can't give you a for sure answer I think I think jebon will one day represent Canada that's just my opinion I have no Insider knowledge I just don't think he will get chance with with England I think he would be interested um and just the just me reading into Jesse Marsh's comments when I asked him about Jefferson just kind of tells me that you know conversations are are are there are going to take place um we'll have to wait and see I'd love to get an interview with him I've tried I have a bit of a link to him I just don't know if I can pull it off but I'm trying to get interview with him Alex and I did interview Santiago Lopez so I would definitely recommend you guys checking that interview out once it drops I I love I loved it it was a great conversation um he kept making sure that I you know that he wasn't being questioned that he is Canadian he's a Canadian boy that's what he kind of kind of kept hinting at us but I'll I won't give away too much but if you guys like uh what you saw from Santiago Lopez at the u20 level um you guys are going to really enjoy uh hearing hearing from him a little little bit uh more in that interview I don't know when arman's going to drop it it'll be on one soccer it'll be at some point probably next week but I'll be on my honeymoon so I'll be gone for a couple weeks late to the party what was the starting 11 starting 11 was a 4231 St cla's the keeper Lara bombito Cornelius Davies the back four Schwaner yakio the two cdms aoro is your 10 amed's out on the right Miller is out on the left and Len's the striker so no Jonathan David in the starting 11 Waterman left with an injury and Jacob schafberg went to be with his wife who is um expecting to have her uh or have their baby uh next game is Canada versus Panama in October uh they should yeah they only have one game in the October window right now they better and I think they will find another friendly uh I haven't heard anything on it but I I would expect that they uh they will I don't know who it's hard I mean it's it's with all like World Cup qualifying for uh the South American teams with Nations league for um the European teams like there's not a ton of options which is why like this window we have the United States and Mexico United States brought in New Zealand uh like the Asian World Cup qualifiers as well like because we the host nation there's not a ton there's not a ton of options which oh nice ball from Liam Miller oh good little opportunity there nicely done there you go nice little counter press wins the ball back oh Kyle no I said that you were going to score oh that was that was s that was so good that was so good if that ended up in the back of the net that would have been literally just a little perfect play from the way that we you know we had the ball we won it right back couple good passes oh I had Kyle aen on my my my score prediction I literally said it's going to be him it's gonna be Liam Miller you know I don't I feel like if they don't score before the end of the half here I feel like they both could be sacrificed as a as a substitute a that's a big save from malagan Derek oh that was a huge save really good ball Kyle Len malagon beautiful save that is an excellent save man that's a good header you can't ask much more from Kyle Len there that he he got unfortunate that's a big time save um getting married Say It Ain't So run now run fast run far I am married man I got married in the summer and uh good lady because she's letting me go to two soccer games on um our honeymoon going to see Benfica and Barcelona so I found a good lady nice touch from Ali ahed yeah I think aled's been our best player so far uh what's the best defender keeper Striker and midfielder for Canada in my opinion I think our best keeper is uh Maxine kpo I think our best defender I would go to Alano Davies because he's playing as a Defender for us our best midfielder so that one's it's hakio or K I think I'm still going to go with hakio but I think the ceiling on con is a lot higher obviously he's younger and he just keeps getting better and better um and our best Striker is Jonathan David this is a great game so far somebody know um she into footy too um she's into me I guess no she like she likes the she likes the sport uh she played the sport um I work in the space so she's around it a lot so I didn't know if she was going to let me go to a couple games but it's cool it's a cool experience that halftime already all right everyone let me know what your guys' five takeaways or takeaways were um that was uh an interesting half all right M I'm going to go over it right now let me know your guys' thoughts my can Team five takeaways uh I think the biggest one say my first takeaway is we're missing Jonathan David up top um both on and off the ball that's definitely number one um I say aled's been our best player good chemistry with Lara Kyle lren allergic to scoring goals oh yeah that's tough man um takeways from that game man I don't know I don't know I don't know man it's I feel like it's harsh to say like like should we should be winning but that was that was a huge save for all right what are you guys saying give me your guys' takeaways um shanier aoro yakio don't create much uh we are way too fast for Mexico and they know it Amed has been the player of the half so far absolutely he has I say my takeaways is we're missing Jonathan David up top both on and off the ball aled has been our best player um I think Laray has been solid say Lara put in a shift Mexico is up for the this match Len all right well I don't know those are tough takeaways I don't know I don't know I don't know let me see what you guys are saying I'll go over to the uh I'll go over to the chat um took me that's the longest I've ever I usually type up the the takeaways but that took took me a while to come up with them I wasn't I don't know it wasn't uh wasn't a lot to love but it wasn't also a lot to hate I was I don't know I was struggling but let's let's see what you guys are saying get you guys' um get you guys' uh takeaways in or anything else want to ask over this break here in 10 matches isn't that now eight first half clean sheets you love the way we start uh that is fair who is the player of the season for Canada I don't know that's a good question I don't know player of the season for Canada probably go Jonathan David Al has definitely been our best player I agree bring Niko Seager on yeah let's take a look at some of our substitutes I would like to see I think I'd like to see David come on just I don't know why why not uh Niko Seager would be nice but I don't think we're going to see him until a a little bit later and then I kind of want to see Jason Russell row feel like it be it'd be nice to uh to get a look at him uh keep pressing ref looks to be calling just about everything they have two yellow cards I think they're at three now are they not is that was I right no they're two I'm not right they're at two yellow cards um the right flank is doing great yes that's what I said that earlier I was I was just trying to think on the spot to come up with takeaways that should have been what I I I did kind of say it so I whatever it's fine I said we miss we missing Jonathan David both we missing Jonathan David up top both on and off the ball was my first takeaway just because this team doesn't press the same doesn't look the same it just shows how important David is going to be under Jessy Marsh um I agree with all you guys ahmed's been our best player I thought Lara put in a shift uh I think Mexico is up for this match definitely more than the United States were the United States were just sluggish uh they're chippy and trying to frustrate Canada and I think that we can see that with the 13 fouls that Mexico was put in they are chippy and trying to frustrate Canada uh and lren I mean at the very end lren should have scored but at the same time it was a great save what do you guys think should Kyle lren have scored that are you gonna give him a little bit of slack considering that was I mean he put it in the corner I don't know much more he could have done that was just a that was a big big time save I don't know I don't know if that's being haran on lren um yeah I don't know but I think we need to bring Jonathan David on for sure that's kind of like the main thing I think that's making this team look a little little off Mexico are really bad they are scared um Canada started well until Mexico got physical yeah they're trying to frustrate Canada that's for sure um I think Canada's handling it well I mean they created a big opportunity towards the end of the end of the half they just I mean that's I it's hard for me to even look at Kyle Len be like man you should have like the opportunity he had in the United States game it came right like right at him and he took a like a touch and then put it dead center on the ground at schy this time he got up he got a well good connection on it he put it in the corner it was just it was a fantastic save so I don't feel like I want to look at KY like oh man you should have scored that like I just think that's he you know I don't maybe I'm seeing it wrong let me know should Kyle Lup scored that Mexico has 13 fouls every time ahed plays that one two with shanier he gets fouled keep playing it keep playing it it's it's working it's it's drawing fowls it's getting yellows um but yeah that right hand side looks dangerous um Mexico's Midfield is trash totally agree with the David take uh lren nearly ended his drill I wanted him to score so badly and I I don't know I feel like he I feel like it would have been deserved I I thought I thought he's had his chances over the past few matches it's about time he put one in I thought he took it really well uh if Rodriguez gets subbed in Canada wins three nothing not a fan of Charlie Rodriguez are you are they chippy or are we baiting them I mean it's a good point down the down the right hand side ahed Lara shanir they're creating problems that's why I keep doing it you're you're you're finding success down it you're drawing fouls you're creating yellow cards um You can call it chippiness you can just call it stopping Amed Breaking Free uh we're definitely baiting it out of them we haven't we've been really quiet down the left though Davies has not really been involved too much um Miller's been a little quiet as well uh if I was doing Subs personally I don't not not saying this is going to happen but if it was up to me I'd probably I'd probably bring on David for um aoro and then probably just leave at that I would like to see seon I just don't think he's ready and even if he is ready I don't know who had won want to put him on for um yeah no I think I think I I think I would personally just make one sub and I'd bring on David for aoro I think aoro was very quiet in that game so far our B team is clapping them I don't know if it's our B Team like well I mean we are no it's not it's not our B team but we're missing like we're missing uh Johnston we're missing David chaff it's a rotated Squad um Mexico's is a B Team Mexico also using their B Team um David for aoro in the 60 65th minute Tanny or Russell R for Len in the 65th 70 I wouldn't mind either one of those I'd like to see Russell R get a look you know I mean we I am excited that you know Tanny is a part of this team like this team now but I mean Tanny is the exact same as kyleen in the last four or five games he comes off or like lren starts gets chances doesn't score comes off Tanny comes on gets chances doesn't score games over so give Russell rogo you know he's he's scoring some big games for the crew he's playing on one of the most inform MLS clubs you're going to find aoro has his quality but does not fit this intense pressing system I agree I said it throughout cop America a ton now isoro did impress me at cope America but it was mainly because I didn't think he fit what Jesse wanted to do at all and I thought a player like shanier was a perfect player that could have suited what Jesse asked for and when we saw Jesse play with like a 442 system you saw yakio and aoro in there and it shocked me I was like I I don't know if it's just he maybe he trusted aor a little bit more because he's more familiar with the team than schan here is uh I I don't know but I was surprised and ozorio did play well like he did it just I I think long term he's just not going to be a starter for this team I think especially with kakio there now shanier who I believe is a good fit you can have David even drop into that 10 roll if you play a lone Striker uh we saw David combine really really well he had he had a phenomenal game against the United States um as where just I don't know he just hasn't he hasn't done too much in this game but yeah we're missing we're missing David man and aor yeah zoro's zor that's what I I'd make one sub I'm David for aoro that's it that's all I would do stop crediting the save now guys stop crediting the save now guys serious um um I don't I don't know if I don't know the context behind it are you saying it's a good save or Len should have scored Mexico is missing Edson Montes and maybe one or two more yeah it's definitely not the the two A's like I mean if you just go in general for Canada right now I mean they're missing I mean kryo is not the keeper he's our he's our starter there's no Johnston there's no con there's no Buchanan if you count it there's no shaur there's no David so we kind of kind of have a rotated Squad but a lot of our starters are in this team and a couple are a available Off the Bench do you think aoro makes the World Cup squad aging out or staying in for leadership experience he'll be 33 34 I think aoro will be there in 2026 just because we don't have a lot of options at the 10 I know it say I mean it doesn't really fit how Jesse wants to play but still like he is a you know he is a creative player he could be a useful player coming off the bench um he can find a pass like I don't know who else like I mean if K if derer molds con into a 10 that would be ideal for this team we know David can kind of slot slot into in there but they're not natural tens I think aor is the closest one we have plus you know he like he he's close with um a lot of the guys in the dressing room he is a leader like I would expect him to be there I'd be shocked if he wasn't Amed was really good 100% uh Josh what do you think know about China there do I know much about like like CH the Chinese team not a lot just when they tried to bring all those Brazilians over and make them um Chinese players that didn't or actually a few of them worked but yeah I don't I don't know much about that team uh it was a phenomenal save who can doubt that yeah it was it it was a phenomenal save I feel like I can't look at Kyler and being like you should have scored that 100% that was a that was a big boy save um yes we have enough credit in there aoro should play for the Chinese team ah China is brutal Len should finish those chances some of you guys are saying uh great header better save China lost 7 nothing against Japan but didn't they didn't China win their next match or Drew their next match I can't remember if they played there's no hope for them um didn't did they not what what did CH let me check what did China do today or yesterday or whenever whenever they played China lost okay I'm an idiot well they were winning okay they were winning and Saudi Arabia had a red card but they still won okay yeah no hope for China I guess is what we are saying here I think the second half's getting ready to go again I don't know if they're going to do a substitution I 100% would yeah yeah almed was fantastic and he also put in the ball for Kyle Aon like he he he's been our best player hands down hands down he has all right second half's getting back underway stop trolling China or stop trolling Josh with the China angle all right do you think aled beats out Buchanon I would start him like tomorrow if there was a if there was a knockout tie with the form that um with the form that amed's in I'd start him over bu Canon I personally would all right we're getting back underway if you guys are still with us drop a like on the stream let me know if you think that Canada if they're going to win if they're going to find the winner if Mexico's going to win say hi I guess we're back underway here we go I don't think there's any substitutions and if I'm wrong someone let me know I'm not listening to the audio so I I can't tell uh do you have any idea who the vocal leaders are on the pitch I can see yakio directing via his arms at times um on the pitch right now uh yakio is definitely one I would say aoro is probably pretty vocal and Richie for sure the keeper always should be so I would throw danne in there and then out of the two center backs if I had to put one i' for sure say Cornelius was definitely probably a little bit more vocal than bombito but I don't know I don't know I I haven't been the pitch side in a while so I I don't know but like rich I would say if I had to pick one player I mean Richie is for sure going to be the loudest player on that pitch for Canada but we're back underway let's see this do you see Canada winning the Gold Cup I can see Canada winning a Gold Cup the Gold Cup is so weird with conaf because uh we don't take it seriously now the 2025 Edition is supposed to have guest which is great because because they needed to do something to make this tournament more interesting the fact that the United States sends their B or C team Canada sends basically like a rotated Squad you'll have some of their A's some of their B's but never us usually the big guns no Davies no David um and then Mexico sends mostly their a maybe like an A minus Squad you could call it um which sucks because if for you know for especially like at the time if Canada would have sent their a squad when the United States is sending their BC could have gave a really good chance to win it I think Nations league would be fun too to win because Mexico Canada and United States all send their Ace a team because it's just a couple games you know it's not that not that um that seven game or six game um span you just you get a trophy in a couple games when it comes to the semis and the finals so I feel like unless the 2025 ition ends up being a big success then you're going to see best on best for a trophy in conquer C only the Nations League yeah that would make um apparently there's going to be some invited Powerhouse Nations to the Gold Cup and that would make it so much more interesting kind of the same way cop America they like the cona Nations went makes it more interesting but for gold cup considering the favorites would be Canada Mexico United States if we I don't know like hypothetically bring in like Japan or I don't know why I keep saying vene Venezuela or some European team Spain I thought I think Spain might have been rumored to come like makes it almost impossible to win the Gold Cup so um I would say the most likely thing Canada is going to win would be the Nations League because now the Gold Cup all of a sudden I mean if we invite a bunch of guest Nations we could you know invite some powerhouses that make it even more difficult to win or if it's just a regular go cup Canada could easily just send a B Team finally here comes Canada's press yeah let's see what they can do it's just it's not the same when you have Len aoro pressing instead of David quick little throw nice turn from Kyle Aon though that's definitely a foul no that one is Marsh said that they're will be doing something similar to Mexico playing a friendly against Valencia do you think they will play a friendly against a CPL team um that would be very interesting I don't know is it next window that Mexico has is there a friendly match against Valencia know why this timer isn't going oh nicely done from Richie oh I don't know I it it is it is interesting because Mex like because like there's World Cup qualifying and Mexico's one of the host Nations you got to get creative with your friendlies oh Miller do you get in the way of that I don't know who who if can if Canada was gonna get creative and play a club team I mean I I I don't know I'd rather a Valencia than like a CPL team but if Canada made like a some CPL All-Star game that would that would kind of be interesting um it's kind of been teased before but it' be it' almost be perfect to create a CPL All-Star team and then play Canada in a window where they need a friendly oh huge opportunity for Derek Cornelius damn another cornit coming in for Canada from schaner that was a huge opportunity though for Cornelius shanier oh little flick on header and a foul love seeing this kind of pressure right now yeah five minutes in Canada's definitely been the better team Canada's been the better team throughout the match so far for sure where's a foul here is it lren uh yeah next window he said Canada friendly will be closer to the community I I would I would pitch that I would be like listen they probably can't pull it off in that time but just it's hypothetical we have one friendly with the World Cup qualifying none of the other top nations are available we just played Mexico and the United States put together a CP allstar game I think that would be wild or I guess wherever the next games are if they're in Ontario you could play York Forge Ottawa or if you're out in VC you could play Pacific or Vancouver I don't know I don't know what they're going to do what would you guys rather see would you rather see a um a friendly against like New Zealand hypothetically or like a Valencia or a CPL team next wind like next window honestly I think I would take New Zealand just a you know a proper friendly against another Nation I just I I'd probably say that over like a Valencia or a CPL Club that's a foul from Kyle aen uh friendly against Korea I would take a friendly against South Korea for sure China was in the O2 World Cup Josh in case you didn't know and were involved in the game of the century there oh little nutmeg I watched espnfc YouTube recap last Canada game and they sound salty over there I saw I I don't know if I saw the recap I saw a couple Clips um they definitely it's not it's not that they were salty that they lost it's almost like they were just they were just ripping they were just ripping the United States apart because they played so poorly I don't think they gave Canada enough credit that we were just by far the better team played really well but I mean ESPN NFC doesn't care that much about Canada they're they care about the United States so it it makes sense that it it um it was mainly focused on the United States but they were definitely ripping on him and they gave like all right oh good ball Jimenez big save from St Clair there we go that boy Dane that was a big chance for Mexico best chance of the game by far I don't know if it would have been offside it was a great stop though obviously friendly as we saw with the United States with LCA Del Tor scoring there's no there's no uh VAR to to save us there but that was a that was a good save it's going to give uh little confidence to danne stclair coming off of his line didn't show a replay there but kind of look like maybe he was trying to Nutmeg him oh what's a wide open header get that out o Mexico screaming for a hand ball nothing given no VAR so maybe maybe we got save there and we're already playing can up out of the back Davies with a nice little run ah poor ball though I don't know do you guys see that better angle that I didn't see anything there I think Mexico was screaming for a hand ball for a penalty I couldn't tell and Canada played it um played it so quickly I didn't do a replay at all but game's getting a little bit more wide open here Davies say well to backtrack that should have been a yellow on Cornelius very lucky to get away with that I want to see a uh I want to see a replay on that here we go oh it was a it was off of their guy was it not yeah yeah screaming at nothing good non call that's somebody it is Chippy though man someone who just got thrown to the deck now is it Len who went down air gets get a yellow card he's screaming about the hand ball went off your player my guy there's no VAR oh yeah that's a big old kick on Kyle Aaron and then has the ball booted at him yeah if I was Jesse I would look to go to the bench air Still Still yelling at the ref oh any Mexican supporters in the chat what do you guys think of air do you like do you like the signing the old uh oh yeah look at them this game is getting so chippy and there shanir gets in with a nice gets a yellow first yellow card of the game for Canada goes to shanier P with a with a nice little run it's just it's it's basically like you're going one of the teams going one way and then it just gets chopped down and then it's right back the other way and the same thing happens usually with Mexico doing it but sure looks like Schwaner is getting a little frustrated there perfect opportunity to bring on Seager into uh to a blood bath like this I expect Jesse maybe to go to the bench in like a little under 10 minutes I think David will come on I don't I don't know who else maybe Tanny maybe Russell row um I think Len and aoro could be two of the two big options to come off maybe Liam Miller as well so a freefa could be an option I don't think Seager yet nicely done from Steph nice ball let's see what Liam Miller can do before he gets probably chopped down oh Liam did Canada make any signings do you mean substitutes um no we haven't still the same starting 11 nicely done from Richie and draws the foul well done well played oh man Richie's getting Richie's getting right into it and there's David Yeah Richie's just not having it right now oh man Mexico is scared of Canada's Pace well Mexico's more up to the up for this game than the United States was they're at least making it interesting they're being ah man if I was a top European club with a Canadian player I would never want to send them to K yeah that is a worry man especially the way they're getting chopped down but we did see uh some instructions being given to Jonathan David so I'm expecting him um to come in soon but I don't know what do you guys think do you think Mexico has been more up for this match than United States I mean they're they're they're playing ugly it's not like they're I'm not saying Mexico's playing well but they're they're more up for it than the like I just thought when we played the United States yester or on Saturday the United States just looked toothless they didn't look like they really wanted to be there they were yeah they're just just really poor now Mexico's not playing great but you know they're frustrating Canada um you know they're using a couple their players trying to play somewhat direct oh that's a foul he's already on a yellow is that another yellow come on Mexico will always show more passion no matter what definitely makes the game more interesting United States lack that I think yeah that's fair yeah and I do not mean that I think Mexico's playing overly well I just think that they're more up for it than um the United States were 100% Josh sorry I'm not watching the game is the stadium filled I can't really tell did anyone get a glimpse at the stadium at all does anyone know how filled it is kind of looks like more like definitely more people are there than the gaming Kansas but I don't know I haven't got a good enough look and our first substitution is coming in and it's Schwaner who's coming out on a yellow card for Jonathan David all right so let's how so I'm assuming now it's going to be played in a 442 system changing from the 4231 so St Clair is the keeper Lara bombito Cornelius Davies your back four your four midfielders now ahed aoro eustachio Miller and then David and lren are up front Jonathan David looking for goal number 30 to be by himself on Canada's all-time leading goal score but Kyle Aon is looking for the same thing um 15,000 people uh is what I'm being told in the stadium so not a lot I think what was it over just over 10,000 at uh the US Canada game which is not a lot of people that's a good substitution 60th minute is bring on Jonathan David uh I I don't know who would be next I'd imagine one of the other Strikers will come on for lren that's the only other obvious substitution I'm thinking of but this game is missing Jonathan David so I'm excited to see what he can do here comes Richie who I think's had a pretty good game and David look at De David's already a little deeper maybe maybe it is a four well no I don't think it' be a 42 231 because I mean zor is not going to play in the double pivot it'll be 442 but David being a little bit deeper speaking of David ah oh already have to a good start coming on lively uh do I follow Canadian basketball I do not not a big basketball guy I only really watch two sports it's hockey and soccer but I really only w i watch a lot of soccer because it's my job and it's my favorite sport and I watch hockey because I really like that sport too but I only really watch the Senators that's my team ah good little look there for leam Miller but just not the not the r ball [Music] any any of you guys in the chat been to a uh uh a Benfica game I I'm we're going to see benf and Barcelona next week I've been to Barcelona before but they're not playing at um Camp new so it'll be some other Stadium oh it is is it a yellow card is that Richie Richie get a yellow playing on the edge now would have had more in attendance these two friendlies were if they were in Canada for sure Richie picks up a yellow Brazil's down one nothing against oh man David comes in and automatically the movement um in offense is different Barcelona versus Benfica no no no no not not they're not playing but they could play each other or they are playing each other right no no I'm I'm seeing Benfica against Santa Clara and then I'm seeing Barcelona against GFE um but the benica stadium looks sweet it doesn't look like there's a bad seat in the house and they were pretty cheap tickets so I'm I'm kind of excited and I'm watching a Benfica documentary right now because why not it's on it's on Prime if any you guys are into soccer documentaries it's not that good I've seen a lot better this is such a stop and start game though there's a foul every five seconds bombo's down right now looks like he took one to the face is that another substitution is that Canada is that no Mexico making a triple substitution Henry Martin coming on Henry Martin I'm assuming Jimenez is coming off he is heis is very quiet this game um Charlie Rodriguez is coming on P is coming off Mexico's got no chance of scoring now that Henry Martin come he they got Charlie Rodriguez as well so they're fine uh will you Vlog the Bena match no I'm going on my honeymoon and I was lucky that um my wife let me go to any games so I definitely not I'm definitely not gonna Vlog it I'm just gonna I'm just gonna disconnect and um quietly watch the game yeah otherwise yeah know if I went there if I went there I I might have did something but no I'm just going to just going to disconnect and join my uh honeymoon W just got to be careful man he's already on a yellow and he's putting like three four bad challenges in get Charlie out of here I'm tired of seeing him it's gonna say I feel like Henry Martin and Charlie Rodriguez are two of the um the players that Mexican fans do not want to see come on especially when you have younger Talent on the bench I feel like Marcelo Flor is going to be an interesting one coming on uh was a dual National with Canada Mexico obviously chose Mexico cannot speak Spanish um but I think it was his dad that really wanted him to play for Mexico I remember seeing back when he was uh one of the options for Canada um I'm pretty sure his dad was pretty passionate about him playing for uh Mexico I think he's also eligible for England as well I want to say yeah yeah I want to see Marcel Flores come on why not I like those story lines he was eligible for Canada I'd bring him on Diego lonz as well another player Young player for Mexican um Men's National Team that could be a a good player for their future uh you married there Josh I am I got married um this summer I don't really understand why sub on same players that couldn't even have a connecting play against New Zealand uh why is AOA playing on the field no shaur tonight no he left the camp because his wife is going to have a baby soon so we give a congratulations the way that this game is going to go I would not be surprised if it just ends nil nil very stop start kind of frustrating for the Canadians but if someone's going to score I would still put it over uh on Canada I think they've they got they got more of an opportunity to create something here congratulations on the marriage thank you thank you few months into marriage now and figured we'd do our honeymoon um not in the summertime because Canada only has certain amount of hot months so I didn't want to uh didn't want to waste them it's still kind of nice in September it's actually going to be 30 degrees this week so it's maybe not the best time oh that was a good ball oh that was clever just if daku could have got a little touch on it kind of look like he might have been in serious question what's so good about Marcelo Flores um I didn't say anything was good about him I just said that he was eligible to represent Canada so it makes it interesting for him to come on oh Out Boy allly I think he's like I think he's a talent I just I don't know I I think he's got a ways to go to maybe try to uh get to that ceiling that he had when he was uh back with Arsenal oh that's a foul one nothing Canada goal from Super Sub Tenny Kenny time congratulations there Josh I appreciate it was a lot of fun I think Canada will get get this 70th minute nil nil I'd like to see a goal in this game as I say that Mexico is coming with numbers herera I think he's probably been Mexico's best player at least oh that swing swinging a Miss there from bombo they gave it a corner ref saying no marriage is Fun the first two years enjoy it is that is that a goal K did they give that a corner no look like bomo left it gave Canada a corner though what substitution would you guys like to see uh for Canada they've only made one so far I would bring off aoro I'd probably bring on I'd probably go Russell Row for aoro I would drop Jonathan David into the 10 allow Russell row to play up front maybe it's not the most um like out out number nine but hey I don't know try something else tny has not come off the bench and scored despite you know bringing energy and creating chances oh is that another big save from D stclair that is that's a big time save that was a I want see a replay that was a big big save from St Clair man damn tny time not sure about Russell row well I like Russell bro can score he can score goals he's in good goal scoring form and he scored in big games not that this is a a big game you get my point like why why not give him a chance it's a friendly like I wouldn't mind if Tanny came on it's Tanny or Russo if you're gonna bring on a striker ah uh St Clair is looking really good man look at this save oh yeah D St Clair's putting in putting in a big uh big shift here I still think it's going to be hard to convince me that it's not kpo for 2026 I just feel so comfortable when kopo starts I I just think he's a quality keeper I think danee is too uh I just I'm just not I just feel like it's going to be kpo and it's going to be hard to um to take his position but if Dane can put up performances like this man I I do forget we have adak as well it could be an interesting one if you bring off like Liam Miller and you throw Davies up maybe to get a little little look higher up the pitch and then throw adaku at left back I don't hate that idea a freea is another one who could come on for Ahmed Ahmed did play the entire game against the United States look at sweeper keeper Dane stair Larry needs to see the bench uh Dane's having a great game yeah staki is oh that's a foul come on yeah for sure it's a foul isaki has made some pretty good runs got himself in some dangerous positions that has to be a foul uh Keepers for 2026 kpo St Clair Sia I [Music] agree yeah that was a good run from M stako he's had a few of them there was that like earlier like 5 minutes ago he he made a clever little run he was not marked at all and Davies tried to find him just inside the box coming off a set piece but he he had to outstretch he just missed it but he he he's been making some clever runs today that was another one it it was a good foul to win dangerous opportunity here let's see if Canada damn I want to see Nico got a debut coming for niik Seager oh we got the triple substitution a freea Seager and Tanny I'm gonna say Seager comes on for yakio no for ozor what am I saying I think I think Seager comes on for uh Liam I think Liam I think a free is coming on for Liam Tanny for Len Seager for azoro I like that I like that a lot I'm excited to see Seager man playing alongside yakio I'm assuming it's going to be yakio coming off although like Seager you know he can't play in the six so he could be a all right I'm assuming it's a Zoro coming off not a yakio but he could just be a straight swap um it's 20 so it's amed's coming off okay stepen arria coming on all right I was looking down who came who came off there confused that so it looks like so lren Miller and Amed came off so Richie's pushed up what am I looking at here Seager playing right back I think he is all right he can't like Seager can play right back I was just picturing him more as a defensive midfielder because that's what I desperately want him to play but speaking of which our right back Niko Seager bombing up the pitch a little chop already in his first touch makes a successful pass and gets thrown to the ground there's cona for you all right so anyone who's wondering I believe this is how Canada is playing right now 442 St Clair's the keeper right back is Seager bombito Cornelius the two center backs Davy's left back right mid Lara aoro yakio the two Center midfielders arria is out on the left and David and Tanny are the two Strikers so Seager doesn't play in the Midfield which I was a little surprised about but he is he can play right back too oh that's a nice Collision Seager looks fast that was a nice that was a nice little touch first first touch of the game does a little chop makes a pass and then gets knocked to the ground I like it just feels very cona for your first first touch was fun to see Columbia beat Argentina today um do you think the addition of jebon would uh bloster the our attack I I would love jebson to commit to Canada because I think um it'd be a great story I think that he oh it's a foul no he could play A Part uh for this team but I don't think that he moves the needle because I just don't think he's going to be a starter or even like I think he even if he was technically eligible for Canada right now I don't know if he'd actually make the team he's been injured for a while this is like he missed basically the entirety of the last season he is getting back to full fitness he got a move to the Prem with Bournemouth he's now on loan at Watford but he hasn't scored at a consistent rate since he's playing in the league one um so I'd like to see him just get a little bit of like i' like to see him try to push for a starting spot at Watford if he can do that because I'm not convinced he can really even score at the championship level like the way that even like an ubo could do um I think he's got a lot to prove but I think he's a I think he's a talent so I I don't know how if I answer your question or not I think he will commit I want him to commit I just don't think that right now even if he was eligible for Canada and he decided to to play for Canada he would even be on this team um but maybe that's harsh just because he's he's just he's such a raw talent and he hasn't really proved it quite yet even at the championship level let alone with in the Premier League if he starts starts for Watford and starts scoring a couple goals and I'm like yes get him in 100% otherwise you know just let him enjoy his football try to get back to full fitness and see what he can do let me know in the comments section guys if you could pick one dual National that you'd like Jesse Marsh to Target next who would it be because the three dual Nationals that Jesse's brought in so far is Tanny was the first one he was eligible for the United States and Nigeria niik Seager obviously who's eligible for Canada Croatia and then uh Steven arria who is eligible for um Canada and Ghana but at the same time you know what um yeah we our Strikers aren't always in great goal scoring for form oh except for Jonathan David so I guess the more Strikers can't hurt as one of you guys are pointing out um do you think Canada will get a goal before the 90 I kind of feel like it's going to end nil nil I wouldn't put money on it but I would like to think that they can uh Tori is not eligible for Canada anymore unfortunately he is done I would I would have loved to see him oh here comes Diego lonus but I would have loved to see him play for Canada but it is no no go English Center back he will never get called up again um if you're yeah if you're referring to tomori no um thing is Josh I think everyone of our Striker prospects have been in great goal scoring form all except lren um I'm just trying to think off top of off of my head um just our Striker pool like DAV is in decent goal scoring form Russell Rose in decent goal scoring form uh bear hasn't scored yet this year Len obviously hasn't scored yet this year Jefferson hasn't scored yet this year [Music] um yeah I don't know ubo hasn't I don't think scored yet this year Well actually no well he no he did but he scored in the cup not the league yeah I don't know more the marer though and here comes Russell row and Kamal Miller DK Cornelius comes off for Kamal Miller straight swap in the left Center back position and Richie Lara comes off at right mid for Russell row I don't know if Russell row is goingon to go right mid I don't know how they're going to do this maybe he will out of the strikers coming on I mean Len got the entire game or not L sorry um L came off for Tanny so Tanny is not going to go why so no Russell R is playing at right mid interesting that's wild I'd throw Russell roll up front why [Music] not yeah Kio show there was a report that went out today that um I think it said that kosa was gonna sign an extension that nicely done from David oh and then he goes up pour ball away um I think it said that they were going to uh um that Coosa was going to sign an extension at Burnley and that he was expecting to get a call up to Italy so I think for the Americans and the Canadians and I guess the Nigerians I believe is his other um nationality I think he's gonna play for Italy that was a terrible ball from Kamal Miller yeah this looks like it's going to be a n n draw I would be very surprised if if we see a goal uh good result or no uh it's hard to I don't know it's not a bad result I wouldn't say it's a good result it's an okay like it's a decent result I guess I think the United States result was a great result because we won the game and we played extremely well we deserved it we could have won by more I think we were the better team in this game but I mean Mexico had a couple good chances couple good Saves by Dane stclair malagan made a couple good saves as well um malagan actually made like a I'd say the save of the game on lren we're away from home it's Mexico I don't I don't know what do you guys think is this a good if would nil nil be a good result away from home against Mexico like this in a friendly but it's in the United States like I it's not a bad result but it's o opport oh it's poor from alado Davies makes a little bit of a a gamble there and then gets lucky nil nil is a crap result doesn't feel like it doesn't feel like a good result just watching this game because the like the other game was just so much more enjoyable but it's it's not a b it's not a bad result it's not a bad result 100% it's a fine result decent result however you want to say it compared to the old days it's a good result yeah this is Canada to C team against Mexico go away we should and we should be a win definitely not Canada's C team uh was on the pitch right now like it's not like like Canada brought most of their best players and half The A Team started and like yeah like oh foul round Seager doesn't like it no this not Canada's eight Canada basically has their their like besides the injured players has like their best team here and they started pretty close to their a team but they didn't have David in um which really threw this team off a little bit didn't have Johnston didn't have sha Seager gets a yellow card welcome to conquer C my man Seager is fast and physical he did well he did did get the foul though yellow card and a free kit coming in for Mexico 88th minute B+ or a minus out of boy yeah I agree it's nice to see Seager uh get in there with a foul like that I like he got a yellow that a terrible free kick coming in though lonz that's a good ball that's a good ball as well oh that's a big block Davies loves it that was an excellent excellent block from Alonso Davies say Mexico's throwing it on here a little bit late I love I love that from Davies oh another big opportunity for Mexico my highlight of the match honestly was seeing how fire double the Davies is after making that block I like it GG refs love seeing Davies how is this it's not a can it's not a cany this is is basically Canada's best like best team two outed minutes I'm assuming this thing's going to end nil nil but here Here Comes Davies gets a throw two minuts nil nil kind of an ugly game that's fine let me know you guys's uh biggest takeway of the second half I guess did you learn anything comes a freea ah I don't know what what do you guys think what was your biggest takeway from the second half here I'm having a trouble thinking of anything we looked better once David came on I I like Richie's game I like what I've seen so far from uh Seager it's good to see him come on the pitch he uh his first touch he had a little chop made a pass and got knocked to the ground got a foul on the yellow card already you know true conaf style uh Dane stclair oh that's a mistake here here comes a freefa nice turn nice ball Russell row oh o that was a good opportunity there um but yeah I think Dan Sinclair had probably um probably the best half for the Canadians 2 minutes are basically up it looks like a late free kit coming for it's a very choppy game wa probably the last kick of the game I'll take a draw right now though get it out get it out Get It Out Boy Bonito David well done is that it that's the game all right nil nil that o I don't know let me know what you guys' thoughts are on the game if you're still with us drop a like on the stream let me know your guys' final thoughts I mean it wasn't the prettiest game you're ever going to see I'll try to think of my final takeaways I guess there's a few there's a few um I still really like alons of Davies at left back I know that's not like a huge takeaway but I I just do so my Canan national team fulltime takeaways from this match um I say Jonathan David is so important it's so important to the way that Marsh wants to play Dane St Clair D Sinclair is excellent big performance from him another solid match from Davies at left back love seeing him it's pretty much it all right that's my five takeaways Jonathan David is so important to the way Marsh wants to play Amed and Lara had strong games another solid match from Davies at left back love seeing him fired up after making Dane Sinclair was excellent big performance from him Choy game it was a choppy game all right that's it let me know what you guys think we'll go through a few more that's a nil nil draw draw type of game uh refs remain undefeated draw will be okay boring game disappointed didn't like Canada second half yeah um after that amazing performance against the UA this was a clunker yeah it was choppy nasty match coner c d Sinclair was star uh if we had Benny up top would have been a dub yeah would would have been nice would have been nice um shanir was non-existent in this game boring game but GG Canada should have won to be fair I'm a Mexican fan ammed was a beast he was I thought I thought Richie was a good had a good game as well um wonder how fipo was doing tonight G to say he had a tough go I'm going to say he had a tough go but right ladies and gentlemen I hope you all enjoyed uh the watchong appreciate you guys all tuning in we will be doing a morning after stream on one soccer tomorrow
