There's 10 Canadians for every Croatian.

More seriously, holy crap Canada was good today. I hope y'all have the legs to do that for two more games, because then you'll be the one CONCACAF nation to move on.

I didn't watch the game cause it was at like 2 am in Western Canada but from the highlights the one thing I notice is that both of those teams look like they have some real quality delivery from set pieces. If Canada can sew the details in their game up I see no reason they can't win against either, but I have a feeling that even in a best case scenario it will feel like walking a tightrope.

If we play like that against Croatia and Morocco were going through 100%, and after watching the qualifying there's no reason to think we won't keep up the intensity. Wooo let's go les boys

I think it should be noted that Belgium for some reason decided to not challenge the midfield and also not tighten up space in general. Other, more organised teams, will make it much harder to play though them.

The idea that Canada playing like this would beat Morocco and Croatia doesn’t take into account that those two teams won’t let Canada play the same sort of game. Or at least try to.

Yeah but Canada won't have to face Curtois in net either. It's almost as though different teams are different :thunk:

Why bother when you can just hoof it over the top and score like you are Millwall or some poo poo

Seriously that was an annoying goal to give away, route one football is like the first thing you learn to defend against

That’s exactly my point…saying Canada playing like they did today but vs Morocco and Croatia is gonna get wins, doesn’t take into account that they probably won’t give you acres of space in midfield like known fraud Bobby Martinez’s Belgium did

Morocco was a team I had circled as a potential darkhorse to advance surprisingly far in the tournament.. they have some brilliant players in their young to mid 20's who play for some of the biggest clubs in Europe. I would really prefer for Canada to get their first goal(s) / win out of the way against Croatia because I think Morocco will be a much stiffer challenge than many suspect, would not be surprised at all to see them beat Belgium on Sunday if Belgium doesn't improve dramatically.

incredible disrespect shown towards the Croatian national football team, implying that the Canadians don't need to take practice seriously to hang with the runners up of world cup 2018

I really wish Herdman had just doubled down when pressed by their media, gently caress the Croatians they suck rear end and they looked like poo poo in their first match. Canada can win!
