The Canadian team surprised Belgium by being superior in tickets for the match for the first date of Group F 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.
“I just told (the players) that they belong in this tournament. And now we’re going to go and we’re going c… to Croatia. It’s so easy,” pointed out the British strategist and received criticism from users on social networks.
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.
When is Canada’s next game?
The Canadian team will face Croatia next Sunday, November 27, for the second date of Group H of the World Cup. “The Canucks” are forced to win to have a chance to move on.
