Gold Cup 2021
Canada 4 Martinique 1
July 11 2021
The scoreline flattered Canada, they must do better.
I was out and missed the first 30 minutes of the game which as it turned out was the game. The impressive part was that Canada came back from an early goal by Martinique (10 min) and scored three goals within ten minutes. The game was by all intents and purposes over.
Although controlling play, Canada had no sense of urgency to pile on the goals (that could come into play later). Canada was issued six totally unnecessary yellow cards indicating terrible discipline against an inferior opponent (who did put up a spirited effort)
Had to wait quite a while to find out who was playing goal for Canada as he wasn't on screen for most of the game that I was viewing.
Corbeneau scores near the end of the game to make it 4-1
Without its stars, this is the meat and potatoes of Canada's lineup, they have to step up.
