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

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

That kind of thing does not come from the coach during soccer matches. It's not hockey. The players decide that stuff.

That shot by Hoilett

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

Unironically I think tip goals should become a common thing in soccer.

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.

No I'm with you... there is enough quality on the bench, that could put a better foot forward than Atiba has. He's an emotional leader, not a tactical one, and the weakness in that is really showing today. He needs to want to win more than he wants favour with the players.

Perisic has had Johnston on toast all match

There is no way in hell this is cannot be discussed in game-planning. Hell, some players require to be the PK taker. If this was a heat of the moment decision against Belgium, that's still a failure. Regardless of the poor attempt, Davies shouldn't have shot. Period.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Hoilett is horrible

 

[member 305909]

That's it for Canada then. Unfortunately.

Hopefully Croatia knocks Belgium out of the competition in the final round.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Unlike the Belgium match, this one one will be a humbling learning experience for Canada.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Thank God we got that goal, lol.

 

[TheShape]

They really messed up that Belgium game.

Need CBs and a keeper for 2026

Cav is such a bulldozer at times.

I'm somewhat optimistic about Crepeau.

Miller going after my boy Modric...

 

[TMLeafer]

Lets see a Modric vis Miller fight

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

That Canadian goon should be sent off for touching modric

 

[jj cale]

Let the Croatian press run wild!!

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

I mean, Modric was shithousing lol. Put a foot into an attempted quick restart, lol.

The CSA needs to get their head out of their asses and get adequate fundamental training at all levels to teach possession and defense here. Go watch youth football here and it's still attacking longballs...

It really hasn't changed much since my U13 days. Most of our young talent are better off going abroad.

They will after winning the Aretha Franklin Respect game.

The CSA needs to get their head out of their asses...

That will never happen.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

OT, but COVID changing the sub rules was such a positive change for soccer I think.

They are. If you're a young soccer player in Canada and have potential, you should be heading to Europe as soon as you can. This country does not properly fund youth development in this sport.

Didn't need to write the rest of the post after this.

 

[Mobiandi]

North American countries are just incapable of producing good defenders

 

[jj cale]

Who wouldn't? take advantage, it was served on a plate for them.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Borjan probably would like the second goal back, but I think he's been decent.
