He's too soft, that's not the coach fault (for once) - he gets bullied inside


He’s completely open and ignored, France’s guards are blind

Lol Brooks. Again Canadas offence is completely lost. They don’t know what to do. This is what a good coach fixes.

Thanks, refs. that two handed shove and the Lyles "over the back" is a 4 point swing.


You can continue to whine but France is just outplaying you guys on offense. i thought Canada was a good defensive team but they lost that today.

France really is not lol

There has been probably 12 bad calls favoring France today.

Probably the worst officiated game I have watched in some time.
