Canada National Thread

I think I'm going to have to lower my lofty expectations of the basketball team after this game.  This fourth quarter is just...sad.  Spain is good, but these are the team Canada at least has to compete with in order to think about getting on the podium.

I'm just so confused by their offence.  Always stopping the rush, any momentum.  They wait until everyone is covered, pass to the outside.  Reminds me of my Habs.  Also reminds me of Gretzky's quote: You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.  Seriously, you're down by 10 with 90 seconds left.  You're on a rush.  Why stop and pass it back?

I just have to laugh.  In the cycling sprint repachage there were three riders, including two Canadians and a German, with the winner moving on. The German won.  It doesn't really matter (they weren't going to win anything anyway) but I think it's symbolic of Canada's day so far.  I think we've used up all our karma in Rio.

What a race!  It almost looked like De Grasse false started.  ALMOST.  Then he looked out of it.  Wasn't sure if he did it for a bit after the line.  Fantastic!  The future of the 100m.  

It was awesome.  Medal #13 for us, i am very proud of our team so far.:clap:

    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)

    • is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues. 
    • Anyway...let's hope that this is the last time this year we see a brownfield competition!  
    • But if you go to her Instagram, you also get the impression that she is more of a celebrity than a volleyball player.
