Herdman's inspiration try at World Cup provokes Croatia

DOHA, Qatar— Canada had just lost its first World Cup match in 36 years, outplaying Belgium for much of a, and an emotional John Herdman revealed in the on-field interview what he had just told his players during a postgame huddle.

“You say those things in an impassioned moment trying to inspire your team in a huddle, and when you're asked the question what you said in that huddle, yeah, it was what I said,” Herdman explained the following day. Canada has played just four World Cup games in its history and still is searching for its first goal. The Canadians outshot the Belgians 21-9 but gave up a 44th-minute goal to Michy Batshuayi from a long pass on a counter. Alphonso Davies had a chance to put Canada ahead in the 11th minute but his penalty kick was saved by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Croatia is so old I'm not even worried a bit. it might actually force Croatia to play a style of game they aren't comfortable with

Herdman should have known better then to give Croatia more motivation.

Peresic and Brozo 🇭🇷 👏👏👏

Croatian-Canadian here: while I don’t think that was respectful to say publicly, if both teams play the same that they did, Canada will very likely win.
