Canada were lucky and I think China deserved something out of that match. DeVos' comments were a bit off the mark as I'm seeing more and more elite clubs concede possession but play a pressing game where they contain the other team in non-dangerous positions and then use their superior technical skills to smash them on the break. While I didn't expect China to hit Canada on the break, they did look competent.

yeah DeVos remarks were basically, "China is sitting back, there's nothing Canada can do". So that's it, no solutions. Anyone that sits back and defends will thwart Canada so let's call this 0-0 and go home. Canada should be better than that and thrash bad teams who just sit back.
