canadasoccer20 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 David HAS to take that penalty. This man takes penalties for Lille, one of the top scores in a top 5 league. Davies is our best player and that's fine, but this is the World Cup. We need our best penalty taker taking that.

Let's rally. There are two facts. 1) he doesn't take penalties for his club. 2) it was a terrible attempt. Based on those two things, there is always going to be criticism. It's just the life of high level sports. canucksfan, ray, Unnamed Trialist and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David looked nervous all game. I have no idea but maybe he didn't want it. Still Vitoria should be next in my opinion.

bwilly11 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Alistair Johnston was a stud today. Disappointed not to get a point, but I'm so happy how we played. We belong, the world will be taking notice. Addona 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herdman and his staff should know he shouldn't be the guy taking penalties. Even if he scored I think we would still be criticizing this decision lamptern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 So do we want Belgium to run the table now? I did not think they, nor KDB, looked particularly good tonight. Maybe it’s a wake up call for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the silver lining we got that out of the way? We coughed up the points but no one expected much from this game. If we attack like we did in the next two games we have a solid chance. ps- I don’t buy that Belgium let us dictate play. Seen a little of that on twitter.

trc2014 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Based on performance, hope Miller is good for the second game and not hurt at the end of this game. canuckgbp and canucksfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi44 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 People complaining about the ref are a bit out to lunch IMO. You think we should have been given two additional PKs in the 1st half? The Eustaquio blocked shot was NEVER a penalty, the defenders arms were tight to his body and if that went against Canada we'd be livid. The Lareya decision was maybe a bit tighter, but I agree with the commentary at the time that Lareya went looking for contact. No PK in my opinion. Overall, very proud of the boys. We'll need more from David and Davies against Croatia if we want to beat them though. And yes, no more egos please (Cavallini, Davies PKs), our PK taker should be Jonathan David and that's that. If he isn't on, probably Vitoria! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenny Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Disappointing, but wow - Belgium needed to get lucky to beat Canada at a World Cup. Gotta pinch myself. Reminds me of Canada's loss to Mexico at the last Gold Cup, which think really showed the level Canada had arrived at despite the loss. I think this game may be remembered in much the same way. rdb9ty, Kadenge and Mattd97 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECW Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Very tough to lose on such an obvious mistake. Mistakes that happen within the play, okay, that’s football… but this was something else. David, Vitoria, Hoillet… penalties should not be about who has the greatest media attention or the most tiktok followers. rdb9ty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
