True. Canada sure had their share of good chances but just can't finish - even on a penalty. Belgium is lucky to be ahead at the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Zanetti Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 How David didnt pass it there on that one play ill never understand. Had a teammate streaking wide open down the right side with no one in from of him, yet he decides to rifle a shot into the legs of a defender. Brutal. Also, what a TERRIBLE penalty kick by Davies. The goaltender barely had to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BomberBall Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Poor back end possessions by Canada and loose defending leads to 2 against. Need to make a couple halftime adjustments for sure. I’d definitely pull Hutchinson off… He’s looked really sluggish today. the watcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Building toward 2026 at home...hopefully can at least win a game in that one. Can't help but feel this "Rah Rah Canada World Cup" was so much like the Blue Jays playoffs, or the Leafs playoffs...... anything the major national media hype up so much ends up with sad trombone.

blue_gold_84 Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 https://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/worldcup/fifa-croatia-disciplinary-case-1.6667609 Quote FIFA opened a disciplinary case against Croatia on Tuesday because of its fans' taunts aimed at Canadian goalkeeper Milan Borjan, who has Serbian family ties, during the teams' World Cup game. FIFA said the case against the Croatian soccer federation was "due to the behaviour of its fans" and cited rules relating to discrimination and security at games. Borjan was born in an ethnic Serb region of Croatia that was part of the conflict that split the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Borjan's family left their hometown in 1995 when it was taken by Croatian forces amid stories that ethnic Serbs fled on tractors. During Canada's 4-1 loss Sunday, one banner displayed by Croatia fans used a flag of tractor manufacturer John Deere and changed the marketing slogan to target Borjan. The abuse was especially loud in the second half when Borjan's goal was right in front of the Croatia fans. Borjan was 13 when his family moved to Canada — initially Winnipeg and then Hamilton a year later. He plays his club football for storied Serbian club Red Star Belgrade.
