Lansdude Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Lack of speed, concentration, and chemistry from Belgium. They'll be mentally sharper next game but this still bodes well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 51 minutes ago, Alex said: Which defender? Alderweireld? I was busy and not able to see it but DeBast is the one they have been trying to put with Alderweireld and Vertonghen recently. From the last round of the Nations League and seeing him against West Ham with Anderlect, I was not impressed though he is quicker. My only recent memory of Theate was him being all over the place with the goal that Fonte scored after David put Mandanda under pressure and he spilled. That was Lille v Renne a couple weeks ago. Surprised they didn't give Faes a run out. After a shaky start he has looked pretty good recently for Leicester. Definitely an area of hope for us.

Free kick Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) On 11/17/2022 at 2:49 PM, red card said: A couple more Group F podcast previews. One from the flagship Football Weekly from the Guardian. Then we have from Athletic UK's Totally Football Show where they'll cover the "hipster clásico of Canada v Belgium, the best midfield in the tournament and the best full-back pairing in the tournament." Just finished listening up to the 40th minute of the first podcast, when they just covered Canada. They have covered so far ESP, GER, CRC, JPN, BEL, and Can. My takeaway from this (and several other similar overseas reports I have listening to this week) is that they don't really know anything about Canada and Concacaf. And it's because they likely pay absolutely no attention whatsoever and have no interest in the game or the games on this side of the ocean. They try their hardest to cover this by filling in time (when talking about Canada), by throwing out random, disjointed and unrelated facts about soccer in Canada (i.e.: like the reference to the San Diego Sockers & the Edmonton Brickmen). Its patronizing in a subtle way because when you contrast that with what they have to say about Spain, Germany and Belgium, they're actually providing analysis and unique insight for those teams/players and some tactical observations. You can only provide good analysis if you have seen the players, their tendencies and what they're capable of. Hence, you actually get good analysis from those teams, whereas for Canada, they just threw out 15 minutes of clippings and other stuff they got from the fifa media guide or (worst) from google just before the show.

TGAA_Star Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Apparently certain players on our team are going to be listed as questionable for our Opener against Belgium and they are: - Stephen Eustaquio - Milan Borjan - Alphonso Davies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Croatia and Morocco tie 0-0, so top of the group is there for the taking today. Maybe this isn't the right thread for this but let's go get it! Sal333 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 OK, here are the chances of us advancing or finishing first based on today's Belgium/Morocco result, assuming all results are equally likely. I should have done this before the game started, but, here we are at halftime. Belgium vs Morocco draw Canada advance - 30.2% Canada 1st - 8.6% Belgium beats Morocco Canada advance - 30.9% Canada 1st - 1.9% Morocco beats Belgium Canada advance - 24% Canada 1st - 12.9% So there isn't a clear best result. I will add though, if Canada beats Croatia today, our chances of advancing are 64.4%! narduch, jonovision and Floortom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
