Show Notes
It’s all come down to CanMNT v Switzerland in their final Group B match. There, the stakes are simple: if Canada wins or draws, they’ll top the group and stay in Vancouver for the Round of 32. If Canada lose, they’ll likely finish 2nd, unless Bosnia have the game of their lives, and head to LA for the Rd of 32.
Brendan, Ben and Alex dive into everything you NEED to know about Canada vs. Switzerland, from potential lineup choices, to what Canada needs to do to stay solid at the back, and help scout potential areas of Swiss weakness. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
