Can only speak for myself, but there's no hate towards Croatia as a country, just a little bit of rivalry there that wasn't before where I'm not a neutral towards them - I thought that there was a misstep by Herdman, but then just a wall of hotheaded behavior and words.
To be fair though, Herdman was an idiot with his comments. I love what the guy has done for Canada with his Ted Lasso off the field team spirit approach but he was so naive this whole tournament, he lit a fire under one opponent and fielded teams that got completely overrun in midfield by playing a two man unit that included a guy who was injured and another who was over 40. The only game where his tactics were on and he was unlucky was Belgium. Canada should have come out of that group in 2nd IMO with a better tactician. But no regret, we finally made it to the party.
