DOHA :After an opening loss to Belgium, coach John Herdman had boldly predicted that Canada, who had not won a single World Cup game or even scored a goal, was"gonna eff Croatia" the 2018 finalists.
While Canada may have been humbled, Herdman remained unbowed making no apologies for his incendiary remarks beyond grudgingly admitting he could have been a little more diplomatic. "I'll take that on the chin but from a mindset point of view I think we showed in that first 25 minutes that little old Canada can compete with the best in the world.Back in the World Cup for just the second time and the first in 36 years, Canada came to Qatar with several objectives and accomplished one of those on Sunday. Alphonso Davies scored Canada's first ever goal in a men's World Cup with a bullet header just over a minute into the game.
