Canada not interested in being a space filler at the FIFA World Cup WorldCup
“So, we went out and looked at some film of teams that seemed to have a little bit of success against them — there aren’t a lot because Belgium is such a good team — but the ones that did, pressed them and were on the front foot.”Article contenttap here to see other videos from our teamCanada went at Belgium from the onset and kept the foot on the pedal for the duration of the match. They had 21 attempts on goal, which is the most ever by a team at the World Cup without scoring a goal.
“We know the pressure is high going into this game, we understand that,” Johnston said. “We know what’s at stake and we know the chances of getting out of this group is really dependent on not just our performance, but we must get a result against Croatia.” “Canada was the better side against Belgium and should have won the game,” Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic said. “They are attacking-oriented, play high pressing, they missed a penalty and conceded a goal from a counterattack. They showed much more than in the last matches, we will have to play much better than against Morocco.
Canada is here to prove it has world-class players as well and can play an attacking style of play, which worked so well for them in finishing first in the final Concacaf qualifying group.
