Canada needed to get a deserved win against Belgium. Davies taking the penalty was a huge mistake when you have a professional penalty taker in Jonathan David available. Herdman pooh-poohing Davies penalty miss was either an effort to take the pressure off Davies or him covering for a rookie coaching mistake. At this tournament one mistake and you're potentially done and that is what has happened.

Croatia look strong again - that midfield! - and should go far into the knockout phase. Canada needs to learn to mark closer at the back end. These very good European teams only need a step or two of separation to score. Learning lessons that will be applied next World Cup hopefully.
