Well, complete breakdown from Canada, I can't see them getting anything against Morocco. Kind of unfair for them to end with 0 points considering all the awful teams in other groups, but that's football. Waiting for @Rob1981 to explain the fading stuff.

craigcwwe Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Don't think Canada had the same intensity as they played with vs Belgium in the first game. Shape was a bit dodgy too even from the first half at 1 nil up. Credit to them for giving it a go and being positive though, enjoyed watching them in the two matches so far, shame they've got nothing to show for it and are already out.

You're just clueless and there's the end of that. 90% of the forum is against Southgate and you're trying to justify his horrible choices and setup with all possible means, but somehow a team that had a less bad match against better opposition is fading away. As for Canada, way too naive. Pressing is fine, but how can you set it up against such midfield that your midfield has only two players, one of them being 40 years old? Inexcusable coaching. If they had one more midfield and some stability in there, they would've had at least some points from these two matches.

Go and have a lie down. Of course I will call you out when you can't be objective for one second. Trying to convince people they saw a match wrong and that you played "well defensively", despite USA being severely limited team, but Croatia that allowed pretty much one chance from inside of the box against better opponents is playing bad. Whatever, enjoy your hype until first serious opponent. Just now, Darius1998 said: Can't really agree with Croatia being worse than in 2018.

Croatia got to the final only because England's coward manager bottled it and was scared to finish off a team coming from two extra time matches. Our play in 2018 was really poor from tactical standpoint. Edited November 27, 2022 by GunmaN1905 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said Croatia is a fading team, while being the guy who follows NT football more than any of us here. Croatia's performances and younger players replacing the veterans during nations league was the best we've played in a lot of years and we played against great teams. Sure, it's only nations league, but if you look at the lineups and intensity of those matches, it was way better than WC or Euro performances. Then you go in with the fading team narrative, as if Croatia's game against Morocco was horrible. It was a cowardly approach with lack of chances and goals, but defensively solid. Way more solid than England-USA match you tried to sell as a part of Southgate's masterplan. Completely subjective. 1 minute ago, skybluedave said: someone Not someone, but the man who's trying to sell Southgate being a mastermind against USA to all of us.
