OT: Canada at the FIFA World Cup stage - support our team

[coladin]

Could have gone without watching the senators play a soccer game ffs

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

This team is legit. They will do some damage if they can get a little bit of an extra touch and finish around the net.

Canada needs to win vs Croatia on Sunday. And, trust me, that is not an easy task. I was born in Croatia and they have a good team. It will be a win-win, sweet and sour situation for me after Sunday's match. However, the way Canada was playing vs Belgium, I think they have lots of heart and I love how they played. Can we just cut Belgium and Morocco and have both Canada and Croatia advance?

Modric is still capable of changing a game single-handed, dudes a legend. Hoping we can use our youth to out huystle them

Would rather watch two flies f*** to be honest.

In case anyone hasn't heard:
The Canada-Croatia match has been changed to 11 AM E (from 2PM E).

Morocco beating Belgium after Courtois lays an egg. Not good news for Canada...

That was pretty much worst case for Canada.

Belgium choking was expected (since they are the team I cheer for) but it happening this early is unexpected.

I want to support, impossible to find the game. lame.

 

[swiftwin]

There's that last minute goal again.

FIRE JOHN HERDMAN!

Not on TSN?

probably is, but I don't have a cable package and all these networks are super annoying to sign into because you need log in info. I figured maybe SNnow would have, but predictably they didn't.

 

[Senscore]

What a flame out

It’s on CTV….. but they have one more game before returning home… but hey, they finally scored a goal

 

[bicboi64]

FIRE JOHN HERDMAN!

Especially after his comments about "we're going to F Croatia".

Like I get it, you're hyped and pumped to play, but show some respect to the runner-up of the previous world cup.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Well that was embarassing

 

[cudi]

i guess Herdman was wrong about who was gonna be doing the f***ing

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

Senators Canada needs better D

 

[Korpse]

Well that was embarassing

Not at all. Canadian National team supporters have seen embarrassing. Being outclassed by Croatia isn’t that.

 

[bicboi64]

Being outclassed by Croatia isn’t that.

Saying we're gonna 'f Croatia' was pretty embarrassing.

 

[Senscore]

Saying we're gonna 'f Croatia' was pretty embarrassing.

But also f*** Croatia

 

[Korpse]

Saying we're gonna 'f Croatia' was pretty embarrassing.

It back fired. I don’t know if it was intentional to take the focus off individuals on his squad but I suspect it is. There’s a lot of inexperience on the Canadian side, lots of youth and all but one player have never came close to playing one a stage this big. He shouldered all of the attention in an attempt to allow members of his squad to focus on what they had to do to get a result, it didn’t work out.

If he had the chance to go back in time, I hope Herdman wouldn’t change a damn thing about what he said.

if "back fired" means it didn't work, I agree. It was a long shot; a 40 something ranked team against a veteran 12th ranked team, you might take this chance to get them all "grrr Canada" and get off their game.

It’s exactly what I mean. I don’t subscribe to the idea that it motivated Croatia. They were coming off a 0-0 draw to Morocco. Anything but three points against Canada would have been a bad result for them. They already had their motivation, at most it made victory sweeter for their side.

Looking forward to Thursday morning. Hoping they can get a result and continue to build in preparation for 2026.
