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

[jj cale]

Simply cannot defend good enough at this level yet.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

That’s on Hutchison.

Not really Croatia is allowed to move the ball at will… that’s on the coach

 

[Mobiandi]

The fullbacks lost this game for Canada

 

[J T Money]

Canada getting humiliated

 

[NyQuil]

Not really Croatia is allowed to move the ball at will… that’s on the coach

Hutchison gave the ball away unpressured and with time.

 

[Blender]

Hutchinson with the giveaway to start this and the shot went right through his legs.

Horror show game for his 100th cap.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Atiba needed to block that.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Canada may be amongst the top tactical teams so far in the world cup. They're being let down by their MLS defenders

That's one thing Canadian media didn't get assessing Canada's chances. If a team's starting 11 plays in Europe and yours in MLS, the gulf is f***ing massive from the get-go.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Hutchison gave the ball away unpressured and with time.

I mean in general the game plan was nonsense

 

[Juve]

We blew our chance by not capitalizing on our chances against Belgium

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Can I live bet Cav to get a yellow card?

 

[Timeless Winter]

Canada should pull the goalie and put an extra forward in.

 

[Satan]

I love these boys no matter what

Can't lie. Herdman has done a terrible coaching job at the WC. That includes the PK against Belgium.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Yeah, Belgium needed to be the target for us. Croatia on another level to Belgium.

Herdman doesn't decide who takes pks

Exactly. He should have put his foot down and not allowed Davies to take it.

 

[Master P]

Canada really needs to start getting balls in deep. Screen the goalie and cycle the ball down low.

 

[Blender]

Still too much MLS quality in this program, but Canada has come a very long way.

 

[TheShape]

This could’ve been a lot different with Kone Eustaquio midfield. Game was over at half time.

Davies needs to play in his strongest position. I don’t like this hybrid right winger stuff

 

[NotCommitted]

Really has looked like men vs boys after the hot start by Canada, but before ripping on the Canadian players (or even coaching though I'm not convinced with how they played when the game was 1-0) I think it's fair to remember this Croatia team is still really good. They used to be a top5 team in the world and are still close to top10 in FIFA ranking. They have lots of skill and experience and I think it's showing, IMO this is more on Croatia showing what they can still do than Canada being bad.

 

[Juve]

Can't lie. Herdman has done a terrible coaching job at the WC. That includes the PK against Belgium.

He revolutionized Canadian Football. He does make quite some dumb decisions, even when he coached the women's team.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

My big herdman criticism, probably for this entire tournament is not pulling atiba at halftime, but that's probably a function of estaquio's injury, honestly.

 

[NotCommitted]

Canada really needs to start getting balls in deep. Screen the goalie and cycle the ball down low.

Kick balls to the net and good things will happen!

 

[stratedge]

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.

I'm okay knowing Crépeau is there... 4 years is a long time, though. But CB for sure, the achilles heel of this team that is the reason it went down. Well, that and nerves/finishing obviously.

He was somehow involved in all 3 goals.
