France needed to move closer not further back.at least make the kicker kick from farther back to give the goalkeeper a reasonable chance.

Not at all. I don't think footy fans think it's unfair (unless you root for England). The games would go on way too long if they didn't limit it to 2x45 min halfs plus 30 min. of extra time.Deciding a game on penalty kicks is like flipping a coin
Lame
Argentina deserved to win, if not for 2 PK the game would have been over in time. Argentina is such an amazing country to anyone who has ever been. Geographically similar to Canada blended with strong European Non English influencesNot at all. I don't think footy fans think it's unfair (unless you root for England).

Penalty kicks are a test of skill and concentration. There's a lot to it. If all things being equal the better team can often keep that skill/concentration going into the penalty kicks.
Did France "deserve" to win? I don't think so.
Messi is truly great, but I’m glad Embappe won the golden boot, would have been weird to have a guy win when over half his goals were pk’sDa final was a bit of a shocker as I did not expect Argentina to run around and play with France most of game .. but France got better near end of game and OT and Mbappe proved his worth (he will be next GOAT) .. but better team won game and Messi left enough energy for final to win it .. da 1st man ever in WC history with 2 golden balls .. he now goes down with Pele and Maradona as GOATs of futball .. like my buddy said never ever bet against Messi he is too damn good at a level about human
I don't know who that is but thank God, they needed a keeper desperately.
I'm fine if they wait for the third DP, needs to be a fit.Surprised it's February and we haven't seen the depth on the roster get filled in. Also appears we'll be waiting potentially until summer for a third DP which is disappointing considering the ages of our two stars. It's a win now or never roster, so need the team now.

Miseed on a couple of DP's in recent memory and we cannot afford to have that happen again.
Health will be key, we are one of the best starting 11s for sure. The backline is in a much better spot than it was going into last season which is massive. Obviously the attack will be lethal if the front 3 can stay healthy.As long as we can find a good fit this coming summer and have enough depth to have a competent and cohesive team up until that point I'm okay with it.
My only worry is about having another lost season. Here's hoping for health, becuause if healthy, I think our starting group is as good as anyone's.
Even having average GK would be a big improvement, nevermind that I think we can expect well above average keeping. It got wild down the stretch with how many blunders were happening in net. Cost them a lot more than just a couple games I think.Health will be key, we are one of the best starting 11s for sure.

Same corruption that has been there for decades.What’s going on with Soccer Canada. They are cutting their budget in a year where the Men’s team just went to the WC since 1986 and the Women’s team is about to enter their World Cup?
