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.
November 23, 20222 yr comment_612954 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.
November 23, 20222 yr comment_612966 They had their chances. But no finish. They did go toe to toe with the 3rd ranked team

November 27, 20222 yr comment_613429 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.
November 27, 20222 yr Author comment_613430 Canada had as much chance of advancing as the Jets have winning the Stanley Cup, sure it can happen but it wont be in my lifetime
November 27, 20222 yr comment_613432 The 1st game showed we belong in the World Cup. This game showed we have a ways to go before we are any kind of a threat .
November 27, 20222 yr comment_613444 Well, that went about as expected I'd say. Canada has a long ways to go still but gotta crawl b4 we walk and then run. Right now I'd say we are crawling Edited November 27, 20222 yr by Goalie
November 27, 20222 yr comment_613448 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. Definitely less expectation with this one, though.

November 28, 20222 yr comment_613460 All that work to qualify just to play 2 games & score one goal. Yep, TSN & the national media had pumped expectations of Canadians a lot higher.

Yep, TSN & the national media had pumped expectations of Canadians a lot higher. They play three. And, no, no one thought they would get out of the group stage. It was remarkable to get there, as top of the CONCACAF qualifying.
November 29, 20222 yr comment_613562 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.
