It was another successful international window for Jesse Marsch and Canada's men's national team as Les Rouges triumphed in a 2-1 win over the U.S., earning their first victory on American soil in 67 years. On the other hand, Mexico played a scrappy match that forced CanMNT to settle for a 0-0 draw. What were the positives? The negatives? We discuss!

After a brief hiatus, the boys are back! On this episode, we discuss the successful start to Atlantic Canada's International Summer Series — which pitted the Halifax Wanderers U-21 squad against Ipswich Town's U-21s in St. John's, Newfoundland and Sydney, Nova Scotia as two enthusiastic fanbases, that aren't typically exposed to professional footballing environments, took in the spectacle throughout the week. Will the Canadian Premier League ever expand into one of these cities?
We also discuss CanMNT's performance against Uruguay in the Copa América third-place match, Jesse Marsch's comments regarding the importance of identifying Canadian talent at a younger age, and recent confusion surrounding Canada Soccer's transfer window.

Canada's men's national team has officially booked their ticket to the Copa América semifinals after a cool, calm, and collected penalty kick from Ismaël Koné lifted Les Rouges to a victory over a determined Venezuelan side.
It was an end-to-end thriller that had no shortage of scoring opportunities, as a big goal from Nova Scotia's own Jacob Shaffelburg saw Canada take the lead in the 13th minute before Salomón Rondón responded for Venezuela in the 64th. Overcoming hostile crowds, injuries, and managing expectations in uncharted territory — the boys got it done and have earned themselves a rematch against defending Copa América and World Cup champions Argentina in the semi-finals on Tuesday.
So, what does it all mean? Mitchell and Josh break it down on today's episode!

Canada's Men's National Team just held 2018 World Cup Champions and recent World Cup finalists France to a 0-0 draw in Bordeaux, just three days after dropping a 4-0 result to the Netherlands in Rotterdam.
What does this mean for CanMNT as they gear up to face Argentina in the Copa America in less than two weeks? How are the players reacting to Jesse Marsch's footballing philosophy? Who will retain the starting goalkeeper spot? Are we sold on Derek Cornelius and Moïse Bombito leading the backline? And Alphonso Davies or Stephen Eustáquio for the armband? And once again, how crazy is it that we just drew France? All that and more in this post-game recap.
