Looking back at the game, I feel like Canada was really let down by some of the players who were most important in the qualifiers.
Davies had a couple moments but I think the occasion and injury got to him. Just some poor decisions, but I feel with the benefit of that game, and more time for fitness, he will be better the rest of the way.
Borjan just was not good enough. Thought he should have done better on the goal and the idiotic decision to just boot it up with a minute or two left when it would have been a 1 on 3 can't happen by a veteran. If you traded keepers, Canada wins.
I think Buchanan will be a big factor going forward and I think Larin scores if he was playing 1st half. Johnston started shakey but got better. David has to be a factor. Absolutely anonymous, if he wants a big move he better show something.
I think the biggest thing will be set pieces going forward. They don't necessarily have to result in goals, but they can't be atrocious and momentum killing. I've seen better in cusa division 4.
I feel weirdly optimistic that they will get something out of the Croatia game and it will all come down to Morocco.
Also how amazing was it to see Eustáquio nutmeg De Bruyne.
