It took 36 years for Canada to get back to the FIFA World Cup and, unfortunately for it, only two games to be eliminated from it.
Croatia striker Andrej Kramaric scored two goals in the win and then had some strong words for Herdman, who had revealed during the post-game, on-field huddle against Belgium, told his team they were going to ‘F’ Croatia.
“Allow me to congratulate my team on an extraordinary match,” Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic said. “This was a fantastic match. I did not see the other head coach after the match. When I lose or win, I always congratulate the winner and he was not there, I guess that’s his way of doing things. Canada had 21 attempts on goal against Belgium and could not score, and then made men’s national soccer history by netting a goal on its first attempt against Croatia.Article content
Croatia, which was held to a scoreless tie by Morocco earlier on Sunday, was rattled by the early goal and Canada had several opportunities to expand the lead, but was unable to take advantage.Croatia thought it had tied the game in the 27th minute when Kramaric was put through and hit a shot past Canada goalkeeper Milan Borjan, but the goal was called back offside.
