OT: World Cup 2022 (Human Rights Optional) - Let's Get Stoned!

[FLYguy3911]

Canada's back line just isn't good enough to hold up against teams like this.

 

[Jack Straw]

Oh no, Eustaquio out instead of Hutchinson. Staq must actually be injured...

Not great for Canada.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Damn. Osorio with a great look.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Kone unable to mark Modric like Eustaquio. Nice save by Borjan.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Body language from Davies sucks. He's also giving the ball away cheaply.

Argh. Brutal free kick, too.

You would too if you went from playing with Bayern to these guys.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Canada look out of ideas. Completely panicked.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

And Canada is out.

Blargh. It was always going to be tough to get points in this group... they burned all their energy to come up empty against Belgium.

 

[FLYguy3911]

What a touch.

Canadian boss got what he asked for.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I don’t remember Canada’s defending being this poor.

It's their biggest weakness by far. No top talent at the back when Davies plays further up the pitch.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Lolz. What was that, Kamal Miller?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Turnover at the blueline.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Did not expect that, after 8 matches by CONCACAF clubs, that the only win would be from Costa Rica.

 

[Curufinwe]

Went from whoa, Canada! to woe, Canada pretty quickly.

Yeh... massive hole.



Tbh given the fwds/wingers they have... with even more coming tbh with Koleosho and Corbeanu... should probably move Davies deeper next WC.

Also, maybe Luc de Fougerolles hits by then and is a Prem player.

The Portuguese youth contingent should produce a couple more midfielders too.

 

[PDX Flyer]

It has been a lot longer than that. Brazil in 1994 was the worst example of it that I have ever seen. Yugoslavia was also rampant with it always. Those are just two cases, but they are egregious.

I hear ya and agree. I just felt that tournament was when it seemed everybody started doing it and going down way too easily. I’ll blame Ronaldo for everything as that was his first major tournament

 

[Halladay]

Spain are going to dominate internationally with a midfield of Gavi and Pedri. Barcelona will also be back to relevance with them.

 

[BigToe]

Musiala is so fun to watch

 

[Halladay]

Get in Germany!

Damn he was off.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Brutally timed run rules out a Germany goal.

 

[kudymen]

This Spain Germany game is kind of fun. Quite sorry to see this one called back

 

[FLYguy3911]

Musiala is so fun to watch

Bundesliga midfielders are your soccer fetish eh?
