FULL REACTION to Canada eliminating Venezuela from Copa America | Futbol Americas 

As a Canadian, we already know these South american refs are screwing us over 😂

Abysmal officiating. CONMEBOL is so corrupt.

@@Nickh4929 They are favoring Argentina in every way...

​​​@@sasukebyakand don't forget FIFA has to protect its cash cow and Golden boy Messi like they did in the World Cup when they didn't give him that 2nd yellow card vs Netherlands

​@@sasukebyakHow? That make no sense! Argentina almost lose to Ecuador, Emi was the saviour for them in penalty shootouts. Watch football moron!

To be fair. Canada did miss like 4 clear chances. But I do agree with you the ref was against Canada all night

He was slightly less bad than Kevin Ortega

@@branayala2625 agreed. Canada missed a bunch of opportunities & could've easily won this game in regulation time, but they couldn't finish. That ref tried everything in his power to give Venezuela the W or tie...which they did.

How did Venezuela not get a yellow until the 93rd minute? Terrible ref, with a bad haircut. Luckily his poor decisions didn’t decide the game though.

That Ref was so biased that it is highly likely his service to Venezuela was paid for. You don't rise to that level and then just blow a game that badly as either an off day or having a favorite team. He needs to be barred from high level matches. I seriously hope Canada files the paper work to have him undone.

@henrys: I oppose Your idea!😳

@henrys2403: Don't say that to the referee. He is my uncle.🙄

Examples?

@@Shhh85the whole game is an example

Canada should already know about shitty refs cuz they are in CONCACAF after all! It is just know they have the players and a coach that can overcome the BS!

Salty like Gary Neville. To be fair, these are as terrible pundits as they were players. At least Gary was decent player

Same as the pundits that said The Raptors would never win an NBA title. Their attitude/entitlement is just why every US player is as overrated as they are except for Pulisic which has achieved something. 😂 another funny joke is the take by the lady. Absolute trash. Probably could do a better job in a kitchen😂😂😂😂

Thank you for your support, my American brother!

I'm a USMNT guy , but for sure I am cheering for Canada like I would for the USA team right now. Especially with Marsch there. I hope they shock Argentina!!

I drank a Canada Dry ginger ale after the game was done as a salute to them. It’s all I had available man……

Because the team is trash, they only made it this far because they played two games against 10 men 🤷🏻‍♂️

They missed multiple golden scoring opportunities. The missed tip on the wide open goal, David 1 vs 1 versus the keeper. Game should've been 3-0

@@koalabrownie because the team is trash, they just have speed and stamina, Argentina won’t be easy like venezuela

@@WistuChicha I wouldn't expect the World No.1 team to be easy for anyone.

Yay North America! 🤝

Gracias Senor!

Thats the reason both team were in chaos and luck decided at the end

I think it's because Canada has experience from the world cup

Moreno is just full of it. He was laughing at the last show. Saying Canada has zero chance against Ven. It was insulting. And now he is making these ridiculous excuses. It was a battle. A massive game. They are lucky it wasn’t 3-0 for Canada. Give respect where it’s due.

@@sushantrawal2068it wasn’t luck it was the ref that helped Venezuela get to penalties

The thing about the old days… they the old days

Agreed. I skip over the others. I hope they pay him well.

Gomez is the best ESPN guy by far and away. And he gives time and respect to guys like 11 Yanks and Tactical Manager, Even Josh (JD) who is a prominent CanMNT youtuber.

People can say what they want, but Group A was by far the most difficult. Peru and Chile are much better than Panama and Bolivia, and anyone who knows the basics of football wouldn’t doubt it. You got the world champion, Peru, which was top 10 in the world in 2017, something neither the USA nor Mexico has ever achieved. In 2019, Peru played the Copa America final and has always reached the semifinals in the last five editions. They hadn’t been eliminated in the group stage for 40 years. Chile was recently a top world team that beat Cristiano's Portugal in the Confederations Cup in 2017 and was top 7 in the world not long ago. They faced the best Venezuela in history in the semifinals and advanced. The USA played against Bolivia, by far the worst in South America, and Panama, which played its first World Cup in 2022 and didn’t get out of the group stage. You have one world-class player, Alphonso Davies, the best left-back in the world. The best USA player is someone who is still considered a future prospect at 25 and has never been a regular starter at the club level, only now at Milan. They don’t accept that in a few years, you are already better than them.

With this win Canada is guaranteed a place in the 3rd place game even if they lose to Argentina. Besides, who had Canada finishing in the top 4 before the Copa America began anyways? Canada has already met and exceeded expectations just by getting this far.

what assholes

@@Apolo810 Peru is like the Toronto Maple Leafs, plays great during the group stage only to choke in the knockout stage. How do you go past the group stage for 40 years but not win the trophy? Major fail and choke job by Peru.

So sad and pathetic lol

That's the American way

Facts

They have so many young players. This is really just the beginning for Canada.

Canada performing way better than USA and Mexico. Canada is the boss of North American football

​@@julkernyne8925I'm Canadian, but let's slow down. We can't crown a team based on a small sample size.

The people disrespecting are either Venezuelan or people who don’t like the idea of Canadian football as a whole

Viva Americas Unidos from Canada

Yep we are united eveyone thinks the americas are backwards and suck at soccer but we can be great if we actually had federation ms that care also cultures of soccer​@matthewblake1884

​@@matthewblake1884Que j0d∆n los gringos.

True it feels like that all over again

Don't get ahead of yourselves, still have to face Argentina, Uruguay, and/or Brazil to win it. That's a tall tall order guys...

@@mheiseusagreed… but the context of this comment still applies. They said the Raps couldn’t get past Philly… then Giannis’ Bucks… the THE Golden State Warriors (with THAT lineup). The nostalgia was apparent at the bar I was at watching the game last night.

@@matthewblake1884 this isn't hockey, baseball, or basketball... This is international football. Canada has to beat Argentina (the world champions) in order to advance. The Canadians will understand this very quickly in the next match.

And then you woke up hahaha. You have not seen the big monster yet…

They hate us cause they ain’t us. They keep going back to the fact that they could’ve had our Head Coach and are bemoaning that they got grouped

Seriously. I can take criticism of our performance in the match. It WAS an unnecessary and brutal goal we gifted Venezuela. Our finishing WAS bad. But saying we were terrible on penalties… 🤨what are they even talking about? Penalties are a crapshoot and we won. 🧂 Talk about salty.

@@androo8810 You guys were very poor in penalties... That's 100% true... Canada deserved the win but the penalties were terrible lol...

​@@bkbaughn Yeah, so terrible in penalties that they ended up winning...in penalties 😂😂

Bro Canada took some pooooor penalties & we’re lucky to Venezuela was worse

No one remembers or cares about semifinalists .... go win something on a world stage and then talk.

@@ParissaKhoury Small victories are important. If all you care about are the large rewards/end goal, you will live a miserable life. Small wins like this build confidence and hope for the large success that may come in the future.

​@ParissaKhoury all you do is cry on every comment 🤣🤣🤣

@@ParissaKhoury Boo-hoo little baby!

They can't stand to see us in their tournament

@@Adams420i see even linesmen faces look disgusted when a Concacaf team scores

Concacaf in general bro. The ref in the us game was really bad as well.

Huuuh? No way we're saying this for Canada after their group stage

@@Cevicheliciouswhat happened in their group stage ? Red cards for their opponents deservingly so ? Those couple calls dont make up for the tons of missed calls including a clear headbutt

As canadain he is 100% right

As a country Canada sucks and its basically a communist dictatorship

I honestly think the USA should try and hire Herdman.

@@rogerc23 Why? The US doesn't have the talent Canada does and he won't get anything done with USSF getting in his way.

Americans only want to hear their own voices in the echo chamber

Okay, beat Argentina, Brazil, or Uruguay then we will take Canada seriously... You Canuck's are new at this so you will be forgiven for now.

There are no Canadian pundits. They are not interested in their football team

It’s called critical support brother! The best support you can get from people with this much experience in the game

@@mheiseus Canada doesn’t need you to take them seriously. They’ve heard folks like you say the same thing before they played France, Argentina, Peru, Chile and Venezuela. They keep playing “away” games and don’t hear your naysaying. If the bar for you is beating the worlds #1, #4 and #14 ranked teams in the world then Canada has already proven they should be respected. But keep your head in the sand if you wish

I have never seen him so bitter. He's never this mad when Mexico wins. Canada really bothers him.

🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇸 2026

The mexicans are much more passionate abt football than the Canadians and Americans.

@@netaji-thebritishslayerthey still suck compared to Canada and USA lol

@@dghost3473 can’t even mention USA tbh when we both got grouped lol

Bien por Canada merecido pase a Semifinales

Sure right.

Refs have NOT been against Canada. The only person that's been against Canada is Tranny Trudeau who's running Canada into the ground and turning it into a third world country.

No trust me, we acknowledge our team sucks and USSF keeping Berhalter over Marsch was pure comedy 😂

Lmao fair play. Let me fix it then: Everything that American FOOTBALL PUNDITS AND “ANALYSTS” think the USMNT is

USA is a better team, we just don’t have a coach. And we have a mediocre federation.

​@@pablo9202You mean Canada is everything the US players think they are

Y’all haven’t won a trophy in like 20 years😂

good

Their faces after Canada won with no fans in the arena 😂😂😂😂

They're passionate about supporting their national team - unlike Canadians.

@@Shhh85 Next game is in New Jersey it will be interesting to see how many fans can make it.

@@Shhh85 Canadians support other sports. Big deal.

No argument here

They all seem quite salty 🤣🤣🤣

I'm Canadian, and I think it's hilarious how passive aggressive these guys are 😂

What are you talking about, most US fans are rooting for Canada and Marsch

And hockey, and basketball recently.

@@adamgt4037 he’s talking about these espn commentators. Most Canadian soccer fans will cheer for USA and Mexico too if we aren’t playing each other. At least I know I do.

​@rogerc23 we have to support concacaf ✅️

Don't like or comment on these comment stealing bot hoes pls

Salty and way too comfortable. Keller says nothing of substance but yet has the attitude of someone who's actually achieved something.

How salty do you want your water to be though?

Calgary? 😅😅

@@Ealoseum Haha yeah, how did you know? 😂

Bro said I’m a Calgarian without saying I’m a calgarian ! Btw I’m a calgarian that went to Dallas to support our boys against Venezuela

Canada rejects the union. leave us alone, loser

Yay North America 🤝

Go concacaf

@@leeminhyung167 Niagara Falls or Buffalo? I live 45 minutes away from Canada as well

Thank you and sorry lol

I'm Canadian, but I have to disagree. It's a run that won't be forgotten for Canadians. But this is a small sample size. We need silverware and more consistency.

I'm a die hard USMNT fan but now I'm cheering for Canada, hope they shock everyone - crazier things have happened in this sport.

Canada🇨🇦 already outperformed so many teams including 2 times Copa America champion Chile, Peru, Mexico and USA. Venezuela was better team, but again Canada win over them in shootouts. And don't forget Argentina🇦🇷 struggled against Canada in first match!

@@julkernyne8925 Canada outplayed Venezuela all game. Crazy to say Venezuela was better team tonight.

Canada also turned the ball over 100 times vs Argentina they going to do it again?

Even South American fans were annoyed at that tbh!

@@mrconfusion87 No we're not. We actually know football rules. I saw the match. There was absolutely no play in which the referee showed favoritism. The game was overall pretty fair and non eventful.

@@LordSesshaku I don't think you do.

@@LordSesshakuend of game venezuela GK interferes with throw in to stop play because he’s horribly out of position. That’s a clear yellow card. What does ref do? Nothing. Ref was garbage. You’re blind or foolish if you think otherwise.

​​@@nicksmith9Cierra el * gringo de 💩

U Canadian bro?

I've noticed that's typical from people who like to mock others. So it makes it even sweeter when the roles are reversed 😂

​@kadarabdullahi facts go canada go

@@kadarabdullahi Ali is insufferable.

Bro US already went to the final of the confederation Cup and gave Brazil a run for the trophy.

@@DizzyMakavelli 2009? Are there even any players alive from that game, let alone ON the current USA team? Not much of an argument....bro...

@@doublestrokeroll You're talking about getting experience from a tournament. Canada is playing a competition with Conmebol. US went to the final after a group with Brazil and Italy. Played against Brazil after beating Spain by 2-0. Brazil won in the last moments if I recall. If this is not getting experience I don't know what it is, my brother.

They're American, clearly salty and jealous

I watched the second half of the game. I was rooting for Canada and did not notice any egregious calls against Canada from the referee.

Your first time watching international soccer, eh? It's a more PHYSICAL game at this level. Buckle up.

This is conmebol not fifa you idiot 😂

FIFA isn’t involved. Its conmebol

Argentina is gonna destroy Canada this time, don't even waste your energy on whatever nonsense you're saying 😂

July 5 is not Independence day

Yes it is for Venezuela 🤡🤡🤡​@adamgt4037

@@adamgt4037July 5 is Venezuela independence

Right!? In the post game literally the first thing they said was that this should be America advancing. Are you kidding me!? Suck it USA.

We made them look like fools. All of them said Canada has zero chance against Venezuela. Suck it in jokers.

Typical American pundits there

Ya, when he said Jesse Marsch would rather be lucky than good my eyes rolled into the back of my head. These American pundits simply will never give Canada any credit. The fact is that Canada outplayed Venezuela all night and were unfortunate they had to go to penalties to finish them off.

Bad ref decisions aside, it was a tough game for both. There weren't any criminal fouls, penalties not given or injuries. It could've gone both ways but you deserved to win, so congratz. Venezuelans have no hard feelings, we're happy for you or don't mind. You played very fair and respectufully. These clowns of commentators are not Venezuelan and don't represent us, stop spreading hate toward us.

Yeah idk why these guys are like that. I’m Mexican American and watch Mexican pundits and American pundits sometimes. Don’t get me wrong the Mexican pundits are really bad but the u.s ones are by far the worst. The u.s pundits in futbol don’t even know what they’re talking about lol they have this dumb “rivalry” against other concacaf teams when they should be supporting because it makes our region look good. There really haters I’m not afraid to admit it.

​@@figoxorwe aren't mad at Venezuelans it was a good game. We think these American pundits are salty about Canadas success because it makes USA look bad. But good game

@@truenoae8689 good game! Shame on them, so much hype over nothing. You might have a chance at Argentina. Messi is injured and they've played poorly. If you beat the world champs, the sky is the limit

Yup! Anyone who watches footy long enough will have seen WORSE teams when it comes to PKs!

Excellent points. And do they mention the way that Canada humiliated the US in the CONCACAF qualifiers? Of course not. Canada pushed the US to the outside all game and the US had only one good strike in the first half. It is never mentioned by these guys - when Canada beat them they were just talking about the bad coach for the US instead of giving Canada props. It is embarrassing.

USA are 3X back-back-back Nation league champions and we just beat Canada last year in the final and this year you guys were eliminated by Jamaica at home and didn’t even make the final …you clowns may have forgotten this but it doesn’t mean the rest of us have

I think they’re a lot closer than people think. Canadas footy federation has been a mess for a couple years now and finally were seeing the potential the team had with a little structure

​@dreamchaser5227 it doesn't matter. Usa is on the couch watching canada in the semi-finals. Usa can't win on big stages and in big tournaments

​@dreamchaser5227 you realize nobody watches nations league. It only matters on big stages like the world cup or copa america and the usa loses every time.

@@Nickh4929 How did Canada do in the World Cup?

What they lack in experience and positioning they make up with effort and athleticism. It may not always look pretty, but they have definitely been getting the job done. And these guys are so young and are just going to get better.

I could lip read Marsch saying that during the celebrations, he went straight to the goalie and was saying something like, it is on me, lol!

I've watched it multiple times on replay trying to puzzle out what happened. If Crapeau had turned and run from the moment the trouble started it would have been fine, but he was back pedalling trying to watch it all unfold. Sometimes you just gotta do a full retreat.

That was bambito fault all day .

Bambito is the player who suffered racism from Argentina fans online?

​@@ultrastandphoenix1883 bambito wasn't perfect but Crepeau never should've come out if he couldn't reach the ball

It’s just these commentaries. I think the fans from both counties have a not of respect for each other.

@rogerc23 I'm Canadian. I know how Americam sports media is toward us. It's backhanded. They are acting like we are toddlers first time out for a kick. They emphasize finishing chances but I see all teams miss chances in the same way. Canada just has this image now so they stay on it. The regulars at ESPN are great, however.

I'm Canadian and we're not bad, but we're also not amazing. We played great vs Argentina and then okay in the other 2 games (remember both teams only had 10 men most of the game). Tonight we were good but just couldn't score, which is the one constant weakness of our team. As for the panel, yeah, they need to give Canada more credit. We did better than Mexico and USA in this tournament.

I’m Canadian but we aren’t far superior to the USA. They have insanely talented players and strong depth. They are just really poorly managed.

​@@rogerc23lol insane talent 😂

@@inconvenientTruther have you not watched them play? And I don’t just mean die their country but at their clubs.

@@rogerc23 like who? other than Pulisic?

Yeah, shocking disrespect. Can't handle the fact his buddy humiliated himself and the country on the biggest stage. Pure salt.

Ya, that was a crazy thing to say. Canada was clearly the better team tonight. Should have been up 3-0 at the half. Gave up a lucky goal that tied it.

You're called "torontogirlwest" you're probably neither too saavy in football, nor neutral in analysis. Canada beat Venezuela by luck. It happens. It's part of football. No need to be hurt about it.

Canadian here - and I agree. Both teams are on their way up; they play with desire and the games are exciting - maybe not overly controlled but a lot of heart and still a good amount of skill. Clean up those first touches and Canada can kill - and the Venezuelans have a ton of talent - just needs to be focussed more on a solid plan. Canada took advantage every time they stretched the field and went side to side.
