Hoilett pretty much invisible so far in this game, not sure I heard his name mentioned once. Canada definitely need a Bobby Zamora moment. Alphonso Davies a real threat scything through the Belgium defence.
Great pressing effort from Canada but their set pieces have been woeful - a decent ball into the box would cause the Belgians some issues
17 attempts but only 2 on target for Canada, now where have I seen those sort of figures before this season?
Yes, that's us x2 vs Huddersfield. Finishing is totally horrendous after such great build-up play. Can see Belgium knicking a second against the run of play again.
Whats happened to Belgium? They look way off how I remember them. Hazard and De Bruyne 2 who look well below their best today. Lucky for them Courtois looks to have maintained some form + Canada can't finish.
Seriously. I had expected that clean sheet, but I also expected a few more goals. From them. And that missed pen - since Canada has yet to score at a WC, that would have been historic - and as it turns out, could also have given us a draw. Maybe
Really disappointing result for Canada after they performed so well in this match. 21 shots but only 3 on target. Team must re-group now and prepare for Morocco and Croatia and hopefully get more shots on target. They should also have possibly had another penalty shout according to Mark Clattenburg, who is working as an analyst over here.
Looks like we could stand some practice on set pieces - esp corners. Doubt there is time to fix that given how tight the schedule is.
