Yeah, sure they were playing cheap but the amount of complaining the announcers (on CBC) did and the blame they gave it was ridiculous. Canada got embarrassed in that game.

The Canada/Chile game was the first soccer game I've ever watched from opening faceoff to final whistle.

It will also be the last. What a disgusting display of "sport". Reinforces my opinion that soccer is by far the worst
"popular" sport in the world.

I put soccer on a level with WWE. Probably lower, at least WWE admits its fakeness.

That's like watching France play Bosnia to decide if you like American football.

This really pissed me off as well, I tried finding some live streams but did not have any luck. If anyone finds a way to watch it without ESPNU in the US let me know because I'd really like to catch the Portugal vs Mexico game on Thursday.

I attended 3 games this weekend in Toronto.

The Canada Chile game was terrible to watch. Canada played the worst game of soccer I have ever seen. I think they completely collapsed under pressure. When their players has time, they rushed and gave the ball away. When they had a man on, they panicked and held the ball until the defender took it away. Then they got mad and fouled over and over again. Way to go, Canada.

Yesterday I watched Portugal pummel New Zealand. NZ was fun to watch - they played hard and didn't whine and go through the usual theatrics. It was refreshing. Portugal is typical Portugal: Brilliant footwork...brilliant footwork...brilliant footwork...finish misses the net by 8 yards. A team with 4 defenders and 6 wingers is fun to watch but ultimately ineffective.

I also saw Mexico play Gambia. In the first half Gambia came out flying and the Mexicans looked shell shocked. I think they expected to steamroll Gambia, but the Africans were lobbing into space and making runs and cranking out long shots on net and generally creating mayhem. It was extremely effective, too, with two spectacular saves from the Mexican keeper required to go into the half level at 0-0. In the second half, class prevailed as Mexico netted three including a moment of individual brilliance from Giovanni dos Santos (perhaps the best player in the tournament).

I'm heading back on Thursday for NZ-Gambia and a potential thriller in Mexico-Portugal.
