Canada at the World Cup

I expect Belgium will be next to go home from that group. I’d be surprised if Croatia didn’t beat them. Even if they draw I think Morocco will have enough to get at least a point against Canada.
 
The Canadian manager's comments after the Belgium match about going "to **** Croatia" are going to be mentioned again, no doubt.

Croatia were not happy with him.
 
My wifes sister lives in Canada, we're off there next year for a months holiday, 🇨🇦👍, should have gone 2 years ago, all paid for then to be cancelled 😢
 
A superb opening minute goal for Canada, and yes the Canadian team has come a long way, but a more deserving Croatia side completely bossed the midfield and easily won the match.

Defending should have been the main priority for Canada and especially so after watching the first 20 minutes. But even up to 72 minutes, Herdman kept on with his plodding 39 year old (honorary longterm midfielder) captain who really should never have even been named to start the match. Unfortunately, keeping team shape and playing a counter attacking style of football against better teams seldom appears in Herdman’s repertoire.

In closing, while I have little confidence in Soccer Canada seeking out someone more skilled for this important job (i.e. I’ve heard that Herdman‘s appointment was largely political), there will hopefully be someone better in place for the next WC.

Rant Over…

Yes the Canadian defending was naive to say the least. I couldn’t believe how open the game was so early in the first half and there was no way Croatia were going to not score after seeing some of the tactics and shapeless defending going on.
