The Bonk Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Don't think we'll get out of the group, but this is great experience for a lot of our players. I'd love to see Jonathan David have a great tournament and elevate his profile on the world stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are much better than people think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I think we'll be in most games and might edge some results. Will be a tighter group than some might expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Genuinely, the absolute lack of invention and creativity in Martinez' coaching gives every other side in this group a chance. The ageing cloggers he'll play at CB should be targeted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I’ve got Croatia and Canada to get out of this group. Which now I’m writing it is even more crackers than I originally thought, and likely means Belgium will win the whole thing. But I’ll stick to my guns. This group is where the shock early exit comes.

toontownman Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 First game is everything. A draw or unlikely win would be absolutely massive for Canada. A loss and all the pressure is on getting a result against Croatia and almost a must win game. Canada almost always grow into games but if they aren't switched on (invariably) at the start the game will be over and Belgium out of sight before Canada can get into the game. First 20-30mins is everything for Canada imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, the one thing the Belgian squad has over us, is experience. Once the nerves settle and Canada grows into the game, anything can happen. Like others have mentioned, think the pace of Davies, David and Larin could cause the Belgians some difficulty and create chances. I'm hoping we are able to compete and not park the bus the entire match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm due to arrive in Qatar on Tuesday in time for the game and I'm so pumped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
