TORONTO - Despite a 2-0 victory over CONCACAF minnow The United States, Canadian fans voiced their concerns for the future as they tried to figure out what, if any, talking points they would be able to take from the game.

“2-0 against that team? It should’ve been 5-0,” stated Wayne McKenzie of Red Deer.

“We only scored two goals against a team that couldn’t make it to the World Cup,” stated Daryl Thorton of Saskatoon. “Granted we weren’t at full strength but I expect better when we play these jokers.”

For her part, Katy Anderson of St Johns stated, “I think that the United States is better than we give them credit, and they really made our boys work. However, we all know that we should’a won that game by at least three goals. Anything else against players like that would be considered a complete failure.”

Sports Writer Dan Allen, of the Toronto Picayune, stated that he understood the difficulties the fans face when trying to understand the game.

“Of course the Men should’ve done better against the United States, but I keep telling everyone that you don’t play the games on paper. If all we did as a country was endlessly navel gaze over the possible potential of players that aren’t living up to the their actions then we likely would have to blame all of the issues this team may have on anything but the men on the field for the result. Thankfully the result was still a victory and I think Canadian soccer fans can appreciate that victory regardless of the fact that they barely beat a team that lost to Jamaica and Venezuela this year.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Canadian fans become worried about the upcoming rematch in …. wait……. what tournament is this? The NATIONS cup? Oh good grief.
