loved every minute of the games in Canada. portugal v Croatia is game of the tourney so far. stop judging these on economic output and judge it on cultural impact and global reputation.

🇨🇻 Sidny Lopes Carbal's journey over the last 18 months is absolutely insane. In 2024, he was playing regional football for Rot-Weiß Erfurt in Germany before signing for Germany third division side Viktoria Köln. In 2025, after becoming a key part of the club's newfound defensive stability he signed for CF Estrela Amadora in Portugal's Primeira Liga. Just 6 months later, after registering 6 goals and 4 assists, Benfica snapped him up and he joined on 1st January of this year - a World Cup season. And his rise couldn't have gone much better. On his first start for Benfica, he scored against his former club Estrela Amadora and walked away with the Man of the Match award. Then everything unravelled. After the incident in which Gianluca Prestianni racially abused Vinícius Jr., Carbal asked Vinícius for his shirt after the game. From that moment on, he was frozen out by Benfica and before this World Cup, he was sold to Trabzonspor in a £6M move. Now, on the biggest stage in football, he's announced himself to the world. Carbal scored his country's sensational equaliser against the reigning world champions Argentina to make it 2-2 - a goal that will be talked about for years and one that could genuinely end up being the goal of the 2026 World Cup. From Germany's third tier to one of football's biggest moments in just 18 months. What a story.

@jae2so a tough pill to swallow, but you're likely right.

@TFC5ever If nothing else he seems dedicated to the task and competent enough to do it and that’s good enough for us for now

This guy has the counter point to my argument that Marsch isn't up to the job. He brings a lot of the things needed to build the program up before moving on from him, and that's a decent argument. We need stability and he seems to bring that. #canmnt

@Appolon3 germany

I’m one of the biggest fans of Jonathan David but ever since he transferred over to Juventus, he has not been the same. I really don’t know where he goes from here to regain his confidence and good form. #Canmnt

@dilcps we had like 31 shots against qatar, those all count as chances if i'm not mistaken....Ruben Amorim also had united getting a lot of chances, they finished 15th or something. Carrick came in and it wasn't a problem anymore. Chances and quality chances can come down to coaching.

@TFC5ever Hate to say it but really think it’s on the attacking personnel We are the team that produces among the most chances at this World Cup & this has never been an issue under Jesse Marsch numbers-wise We just crash out on the final third constantly it’s frustrating

As for the CanMNT attack question: That’s legit been a weekly narrative for years It’s a tiresome convo to have because it’s too obvious that Canada just needs better attackers Difference is that more eyes are seeing how much Canada lack finishing

@WildcatOil @Asnow119 we have nations league in september too!

@Asnow119 And then technically more than friendlies, but unfortunately not significantly much more competitive, would be the Gold Cup next year.

I need Canada at Copa 2028. I also need Canada to find a 1 touch striker. Some one with the ability to just smash a volley through the net.

🚨🎙️🗣️: Drogba “FIFA is a disgrace and everyone is seeing what they want to do again, if they don’t want other countries to compete with Messi and Argentina they should just say it rather than making it look like we are wasting our time” [@talk_SPORT]

@Sean_C2 @dilcps I think it was 2 sitters. David had a bad tournament, but we also didn't score against cote d ivoire, tunisia, colombia, ecuador, mexico, and for a lot of the copa america where the teams were significantly weaker.

@TFC5ever @dilcps Did Marsch cause David to miss that gimme against Bosnia?

🚨Wayne Rooney: “FIFA have become too lenient with Argentina. They don’t get booked or penalized for the most obvious offenses and it’s raising so many eyebrows.” “Very soon a lot will be revealed”

I’m doing it for free nigga keep the change

HAKIMI THE RAPIST

“51th” 😭😭😭 American education, man

@RedHatNoShirt @marcdweber much is doing a lot of heavy lifting, and richie is a standout mls player

@TFC5ever @marcdweber Still much better than nonstandout players from MLS

People dissecting this Canada defeat like it was a really winnable match we somehow screwed up -- obsessing over a couple players. We play this 10 times, WITH Davies and an in-form David, and everyone playing out of their skin, and still probably win 2 or 3 out of 10? (1/2)

@TheJMB81 @MikeMartignago Jesse Marsch is also a bad coach, so I wouldn't frame a leftback as the reason we don't score goals

@TFC5ever @MikeMartignago Then someone else. Anyone who was healthy and available. Why are we treating Davies as if he’s better than Messi. He’s the only one I’d give the treatment we gave Davies to.

New Canadian soccer expert: Let’s say you leave Davies off the World Cup squad. Who’s replacing him and is that player contributing to Canada’s first ever World Cup knockout win? I’ll hang up and listen

@TheJMB81 @MikeMartignago He was a top 3 left back in the world before his ACL injury that he's only had half a season to get over. He has been the #1 leftback in the world and he is 25, he is a world best 11 player. They haven't had that in North America since Hugo Sanchez for Mexico.

@TFC5ever @MikeMartignago Stupid decision making. Should have taken not injured players. “Literally our messi” isn’t even top 10 left backs in the world, Bayern did fine without him, only played 13 games this season. He played in copa america 2024 and we still lacked finish in that tourney same issues.

Most people talking shit about Davies are hockey first fans that are new to our game and mad that "soccer" is becoming popular lmao #canmnt

WORLD BEST 11 YOU"LL NEVER SING THAT
