Canada – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Reds” were able to make the most of Copa’s schedule and their potential. Speaking about the group stage, they, after a completely predictable 0-2 score in the struggle with Argentina, managed to beat Peru (1-0), which, combined with a goalless draw against Chile, allowed them to take 2nd place in the quartet.
The appearance in the play-offs was not enough – Jesse Marsch’s wards beat Venezuela in the quarter-finals (on penalties after a 1-1 draw). Still, then there was a new meeting with Argentina, with the same “success” – there happened a 0-2 failure.
Uruguay – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Charrúas” showed good results under the leadership of Bielsa. The team won most of their World Cup qualifiers in the autumn, including inflicting its only qualifying defeat made by Argentina. As for the Copa, it showed a 100% result at the group stage, managed to win the battle against USA, after Panama and Bolivia, and not let the tournament hosts into the play-offs.
Still, Marcelo’s team did not score in the play-offs. Speaking about the confrontation with Brazil, it resulted in a penalty-kick victory. Perhaps that took too much energy, because the Uruguayans, having conceded at the end of the first half, did not respond with anything special in the game with the Colombians, although they were in the majority after the break.
