Dumb play especially by a guy on a yellow, but this is why some people hate on the beautiful game...

Gotta keep your fuckin head about you.

That said, Canada was the better team with ten men. Had some golden chances to equalize. They’ll be fine.

You can’t really put this all on the clubs when the federation has made no effort whatsoever to modernize them or their infrastructure. There’s never been an effort to create a national development system like Clairfontaine. The lack of immigrants who have made a name for themselves in Italy’s youth system is absolutely embarrassing compared to pretty much every other European nation at this point. Winning Euro papered over this but these problems are going to persist if they keep doing nothing about them. Time to take some blame, pal.

Not exactly a great day for some footy in Toronto. With the wind chill, it will feel like -15 degrees Celsius.

I love soccer and hate shit like this. A grown man takes a shoulder to the chest and crumples to the ground holding his head. It's pathetic. If soccer truly wanted to get rid of this crap that flop should cost him the last 2 games of this window. This type of gamesmanship needs to be severely punished and rooted out. I hate that this had such an impact on the game, though I also do agree Kaye needed to be smarter and not put the decision in the officials hands.
