Canada vs. Uruguay: Discussion Thread

Kickoff is in a little over 4 hours. Google's win probability lists a 63% win chance for Uruguay, with only a 15% chance for Canada and a 22% chance of going to penalties.

I wouldn't say I completely agree with that, though. Sure, Uruguay should be the overwhelming favourites, but Canada's riding an all-time high, and Uruguay is potentially depleted after the semifinal against Uruguay—plus Núñez is suspended after the brawl with the fans that followed that game.

Still, the Uruguayan side is very strong. Not only did they sweep their group of Panama, the USA, and Bolivia (scoring 9 goals and conceding only 1), but they also took out Brazil in the quarterfinals.

So, what do we think? Are Uruguay the overwhelming favourites? Or do Canada have a chance to steal bronze?

It is what it is. Canada played the better game, but couldn't convert their best chances—otherwise it would've comfortably been 3-1 at halftime. Still a great first appearance at Copa América either way. Looking forward to the World Cup a little under two years from now
