All this I hope Herdman sticks around until 2026 talk, he might get fired if we get blown out today.

Because we've got a stellar replacement lined up on Canada Soccer's budget?

[JAVIERF]

The marroquis are gonna go for it,  amateur  gets pegged back.  At least put a fight,  if not it is because of the CSA and players bad rendezvous for money.  

[trc2014]

Haha fair enough - might be a bit much on the fired front.

[Floortom]

jesus MAK is terrible lol

Come on...vitoria's back pass was easily fixable. Borjan just had to boot it. thats on borjan

So if the back pass is clean , that mistake still happens.  Got it.

[JAVIERF]

Canada footballers have an encounter with football ethics today.  Get bruised put a fight

[SoccMan]

No excuses here Australia with a bunch of nobodies get to next round these guys look like amateurs playing against pros right now , wake the fuck up !

[canuckgbp]

As we saw how Croatia handled going down an early goal, don’t panic and play. 

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Nice Larin

[maccaliam]

We keep giving the ball away so cheaply

[A.D.I.D.A.S.]

Good counterattack.

[trc2014]

The fact Kaye is playing is mind blowing.

Come on man.  Milan just had to kick it.  He had time and the ball was just rolling slowly.  Poor back pass for sure but there was no need for that to be a goal. 
 

Damn Tajon - that would have been sweet.  And anyone doubting Larin’s inclusion should watch that play.  

[narduch]

Thats more like it

Nobody's saying that. It was a short backpass but easily handled. That was 20% Vitoria, 80% Borjan.

If Canada can't get a result today with no pressure then the coach must go,  because he is all motivation if he can't motivate...then?

[InglewoodJack]

That was the best play I’ve seen from Larin in months.

That is ridiculous.  His job is to motivate our guys playing in a dead rubber match.   The Moroccan coach’s job is to motivate a team playing for their tournament lives.  We aren’t going to fire our coach if we can’t beat a team higher ranked than us and playing very well under those circumstances.  

[BigMo]

On the bright side, how good do these red kits look on this field  ?

[VinceA]

Don't know about you guys but I don't want to see the 3-4-3 ever again.

[JAVIERF]

Canada needs to show the same character as Croatia when down so early

We can do it in concacaf against weaker opposition but up against higher level teams we are getting pulled around and passed through

It is not a dead rubber ,  its the world cup after 36 long years
