The Canadian team surprised Belgium by being superior in match tickets for the first Group F date of the Qatar 2022 World Cup and even generated several scoring chances. However, the European team was more effective in front of goal and thus led to the 1-0 victory thanks to Batshuayi’s goal.
Despite the result, Team USA coach John Herdman was pleased with the performance of his coaches. However, amidst the congratulations, he dropped an inappropriate phrase regarding the upcoming engagement.

In another part of the press conference, DT thanked the support of Canadian fans. “We have shown that we deserve to be here. Our fans also tried to win the battle; we can leave proud of what we have done. We are a football nation. We had goals that we couldn’t achieve. The group stage is fully open after the result between Morocco and Croatia.”he mentioned.
John Herdman also spoke about Davies’ missed penalty early in the game. “We wanted to score that first goal. I’m proud of Alphonso; it’s a very big moment. We have the weight of a nation for the 36 years of waiting. I’m very proud to see him catch this ball because you have to have a lot of courage.”he pointed.
