Not sure I had THAT from #VWFC in the first half of this Western Conference final vs San Diego
The early goal made a big difference, but the ‘Caps have been very comfortable without the ball, which is very important given San Diego’s possession
Now, got to take the life out of the game at 3-0

It's worth noting that Canada had some better stretches of possession in the first half with the switch to a 4-3-3, but they still had too many turnovers and didn't test Japan's backline enough
Then, as the game went on, things got far too stretched
A tough stretch continues for this side

The misery continued for the #CanWNT/#CanXNT tonight, as they fell 3-0 to Japan to extend their losing streak (and scoreless run) to 4 games

The #CanWNT/#CanXNT have kicked off the 1st of 2 friendlies vs. Japan
Their XI looks like:
Sheridan
Levasseur-J Rose-Zadorsky-Riviere
Regan
Fleming-Awujo
Sonis-Prince-Ward
Slight change of shape for Canada as they search for more goals. It'll be interesting to see if this helps their midfield woes

#VWFC are back at it tomorrow, as they get set to face San Diego FC for a spot in the 2025 MLS Cup
No matter what happens, they'll need some key contributions from some players in new positions - I looked at how this squad's versatility has fuelled this playoff run

Interestingly, the #CanWNT/#CanXNT have lost the possession battle in each of their last 3 games, after winning that battle in each of their first 8 games of 2025
While that's a reflection of the level of opposition they've played, it shows why keeping the ball is key to generating more chances

Having lost (and failed to score in) 3 straight, they're looking to avoid something they last did in the 1990s
I dove into their attacking woes to help preview this one for OS👇

Got to give credit to the way Arsenal broke Bayern’s aggressive man-to-man press in that second half, they did well to bypass it completely by going direct
Arsenal had 105 passes in their own half in the first half, 48 in the second half
They stretched Bayern right out of shape by doing so

At the same time, we got double-David goals today in the #UCL! Before JD found the net, Promise David had a crucial goal in a big Union St Gilloise win vs. Galatasaray
No matter the competition, Promise David can't stop scoring - he now has 2 in the UCL, which is remarkable given his story

For the first time since August, Jonathan David has found the scoresheet, as he scores a crucial winner off the bench for Juventus vs. Bodø/Glimt in #UCL action
It's not his prettiest goal, but it's a hugely important one for a player struggling for confidence. Good to see

But unlike past Whitecaps teams, they knuckled down and won an MLS classic vs LAFC, thanks to some grit and inexplicable luck

After the way the second half of regular time went, that was a very gutsy extra time for #VWFC, especially when Belal Halbouni went down and they had to play that last 10 minutes 9v11
Onto penalties now!

Incredible. After the dream first half from #VWFC, they've completely fallen apart here in the second half, and LAFC have just tied it up via a Heung-Min Son free kick GOLAZO in the 90+6'

After his winner vs. Mallorca, Tani Oluwaseyi has a goal every 121' for Villarreal CF in all comps (5G/1A in 14 appearances)
