Lmao yeah they totally would’ve gone another World Cup without a goal if they actually let a penalty expert take a penalty. What a weird argument haha

Canada’s roster is much better than you’re saying. Much better. They can do a little more team play. For sure.

This isn’t basketball.

Ok firstly, david is not a penalty expert, when lille won the league he was not the designated penalty taker and even though he was an important part of their team he was not the most pivotal player for them, as well, team play is all good and as a team they played well but even the best teams have at least one player who can change the game for their team alone and for Canada that is Davies without him we probably have zero successful counter attack chances and probably no significant ball progressions in the opponents half, also I don't know why your mad about davies taking chances as they come when i rarely saw any good executions of any other chances by Canada and to also caveat that the fact they got the chances was really down to 2 or maybe three players which included eustaquio or Davies almost all the time, they tried but weren't good enough, strikers didnt score and there was more than enough quality chances in both the belgium and croatia game for either of larin or David to score and they didnt. Another game to play against Morocco and I doubt either striker scores other than a tap-in.

“Ok firstly,” I didn’t say he was their pk taker when they won the league. And yeah I mean, Larin is pretty ass, I won’t lie there. This has also been the World Cup of shutting down strikers, I’m not going to hold too much against them there but you’re forgetting Tajon as well who has been relatively instrumental in many plays. He deserves plenty of credit for the assist. I don’t think there is any defending Davies being Canada’s penalty taker, that’s genuinely mental. I don’t think he should be shooting free kicks from crossing areas too. Furthermore, the only reason I’m bringing this up is because multiple journalists have reported on there being friction in the Canada camp due to Davies’ selfishness on the field.

Also, I wasn’t being completely serious when saying he was a massive ball hog, more just in a “take the piss” mood today, but I think Canada would be a solid amount better if he focused a little more on team play than he currently does. I don’t think he’s a ball hog, but I think he’s a bit selfish, and it hurts Canada in instances.

I also absolutely wouldn’t bet against David in the next game.

Well they shoulda had who was taking the pk sorted bwfore it happened then. You wanna blamw anyome then blame the coach. Hilarious to blame this on a pk miss. Lets go blame Lewandowski for his miss too ya? Silly. Youre the one making a weird argument. Be gone.

Canada’s coach has done absolutely incredible, I won’t blame him lol Lewendowski had significantly fewer touches than Davies. You’re bringing in some really bizarre comparisons here

And you seem angry? Weird
