GWT: World Cup - Group F (Morocco and Croatia Advance)

[Satan]

Canada lose their formation under every Croatian attack, cmon black let’s go

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Vitoria is quite good for Canada as the middle CB in a three at the back setup, but I'm not a fan of him in a 4-4-2.

 

[K1900L]

Haha, the Canadian player who stopped the ball at the side line from going out just for it to be picked up by the opposing player gave me some bad memories. I did the same when I was about 9 years old and I can still hear my coach yell at me from across the pitch back in my head. I was out 5 minutes after.

 

[Sunan]

I'm glad I took Scottish lessons to learn new things aboot wee Canada

[Tom ServoMST3K]

All hope is lost for this WC. We really have 3 years to find decent CBs through our program. May need to find a GK as well.

Not like Borjan was penciled in as starter for 26 anyways.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Hutch running back is just... painful to watch.

 

[keonsbitterness]

If this keeps up, Croatia can name the final score.

 

[snowkiddin]

I guess this is the equivalent of Croatia trying to beat us in hockey, so …

 

[Karterthadon]

Looking at this, I'm incredibly dumbfounded at how bad Belgium is.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

More like get more talent.

Canada has a good crop of young attackers, but their midfield and defenders are not at the same level as a team like Belgium or Croatia.

That'll take time to build.

Talent won't be enough if we do not modernize our tactics.

 

[Evilo]

There's really nothing to be angry or disappointed about.
Croatia is a WC finalist last time. They barely lost anyone.
Canada leading against them for 30 minutes is already very nice.
They dominated Belgium and should feel bad about getting 0 point out of it.
They're only 1 goal behind with 45 minutes to go, nothing's done here.
The Morocco one is supposedly the easiest in that group of death.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Can't believe how quickly this turned. Croatia just took over midfield at some point and from there on out, Canada couldn't cope.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Really hope enzo just watches modric clips all day. What a baller.

I just booked a bunch of flights on Qatar Airways.

 

[Gecklund]

Davies, David and Eustaquio doesn't only because Croatia's forte is midfielders.

I have Davies for sure, David normally but not with this form (he’s been trash) so I’d take Kramaric right now, and Buchanan but I’m also going back and forth between him and Perisic and I think I’d lean Perisic.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

2-1 is fine. Like I said earlier this am - Belgium was our chance to get through.

Croatia is so much better than them.

 

[Adrianopolous]

Canada getting exposed

 

[hatterson]

Can't believe how quickly this turned. Croatia just took over midfield at some point and from there on out, Canada couldn't cope.

Yea, but there's also a massive gulf in talent between the Croatian midfield and the Canadian one.

I know the tactics haven't been amazing, but it's hard for anything to work when you're getting absolutely rolled in the middle of the park due to a massive talent gap.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Hutchinson can barely move, as a Croatia fan they are still shaky in defense and Canada can take advantage of that

 

[Evilo]

I have Davies for sure, David normally but not with this form (he’s been trash) so I’d take Kramaric right now, and Buchanan but I’m also going back and forth between him and Perisic and I think I’d lean Perisic.

Yeah he's been bad, but he's a better striker than Kramaric.

 

[Sunan]

This feels like México - Argentina

 

[NyQuil]

Score is deserved at this stage.

Let’s see what Herdman can do.

David has been a disappointment.

 

[Gecklund]

Yeah he's been bad, but he's a better striker than Kramaric.

I’d agree on normal form. I like Kramaric’s poacher instinct though especially if Davies and Perisic are on the wings. If David is in form though, yep I agree totally.

"Croatia is old"

Age and experience can get you far on WCs. It's not a young mans sport.
