Canada tried a few cute movies in the box earlier, all the while Croatias pressure was building.

Still, canada can play well. Go canada!

Just caught the last 10 mins of the first half but it looks like Canada can't defend at all now?

Mildly interesting note: Canadians are called Kanadicks in Swedish.

Go Kanadicks!

Was trying to figure out why people were booing when the Canadian goalie had the ball, then I remembered Borjan is a serb.

OutclAssed by a better team

Croatia's third. The Dream is over.

Canada is just way too slow moving the ball, and their midfield just give it away easily with a poor touch or pass. Need some decent midfielders to stand a chance next cycle.

Everything goes down the right to Davies and it is much too predictable. A decent side will double up on Davies and Canada has no other real threat. When they attack down the left it inevitably stops and the ball gets recycled and it way too easy to defend against that.

Lastly, replace Borjan with an actual keeper.

Spain starts basically the same team against Germany as against Costa Rica. I hope we don't regret having Rodri as a central defender this time...

[Duque de Bragança]

I am afraid there won't be a 7-0 this time.

Well, we recently scored 6 against Germany, so...

Well argued. A bit harsh on the goalie. But otherwise I agree

I don't think the goals were his fault, I just think his distribution is atrocious.

A goof to infuriate the Islamic republic just before the game.
