They started off strong, opening up the scoring in the second minute of the match with a header by Alphonso Davies. The Bayer Munich player will go down in history for recording Canada’s first ever World Cup goal.
It also stands as the fastest goal of the 2022 World Cup, thus far.
OUR FIRST EVER @FIFAWorldCup GOAL! 🔥

But the lead did not last long, as Croatia responded with two of their own.

Canada 🇨🇦 are like traffic cones defensively. Too easy for Croatia 🇭🇷.
This is real bad, Croats might get 5.— Maximiliano Bretos (@MaxBretosSports) November 27, 2022
When Canada 🇨🇦 manager John Herdman said ‘We’re going to F Croatia’ he actually said ‘We’re going to F, Croatia’ with F meaning fail

To make matters worse, Croatia scored two more in the second half. Canada simply crumbled.
Croatia 🇭🇷 maturing like 🍷

Did Canada just get UEFAed?

Canada deserved better against Belgium, but not in this one. Croatia clinical, especially in midfield. Canada has been too sloppy.

Rule #1
Never give an opponent bulletin board material, especially a more ‘talented’ one.
“we’re going to go and F Croatia, it’s as simple as it gets”
Shame. One of my favorite coaches too. #FutbolAmericas #FIFAWorldCup #CanMNT pic.twitter.com/tJpsVM9y8a

The Canadian men’s national team has been officially eliminated from knockout round contention after two consecutive losses. Even if Canada defeat Morocco in the last match of the group stage, the team cannot advance to the round of 16.
Croatia’s comeback is complete! ✅️ 🇭🇷
As it stands, Canada will be eliminated! ❌️ 🇨🇦 #CroatiavsCanada #Qatar2022 #FIFAWorldCup pic.twitter.com/ArfZxyOUYU
