Group F - Belgium | Canada | Morocco | Croatia

Come on Canada and Croatia

Canada looking stong early, gain a pen for handball, and Coutois saves it!!!

Entertaining game so far

Canada played very very well. Positive comments on coach Herdman from the commentary team, including mention of him working in NZ.

BBC had a good article as well https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/63503980

Inexperience was all that I saw in the Canadian team.  They had some good moves and their tactics were OK, but very poor ball awareness (and individual ball control) eventually caused their undoing.
Still, 4:1 is not 7:0.  They will dine out for a long time coming that they led Croatia 1:0 for a bit.

At the same time, the Morocco vs. Belgium game was for me the true highlight of the WC 2022 so far.  I was glad to see such commitment from the Moroccan team.  So what if the conditions suited them better? That's them breaks.

Belgium v Croatia was quite an "entertaining" 0-0. Thought Belgium might just steal it at the end but fortunately Lukaku was excellent in defence for Croatia !
