Canada were eliminated from the World Cup after a loss to Croatia.
The news and features of the World Cup.
Alphonso Davies scored Canada's first World Cup goal after just 67 seconds, but Croatia came back with four unanswered goals, including a fourth from Lovro Majer, to take the top spot in the group. Canada will bow out after their game against Belgium, while Croatia will try to get the top spot.
Player ratings, best and worst performers, highlights and notable moments, post- match quotes, and key statistics are included.
This is the first thing. The Canadians got the first goal of the World Cup.
After getting their first-ever men's national team goal at the World Cup, Canada went home early, but they were picked apart by Croatia.
Canada looked like a team playing in their first World Cup in 26 years when they played two good sides in Belgium and Croatia. It can take a while to get used to this level. After failing to score in their only previous World Cup appearance at Mexico '86, Davies sent the Canada fans wild in their corner with the fastest goal of the tournament so far.
How many teams can make it to the round of 16 in the World Cup?
The blocks of red shirts were thrown back in their seats after Croatia scored two goals in the first half. When Kramaric got his second in the 70th minute, they knew they had to pack their bags. Lovro Majer's break added insult to injury.
Croatia's experienced core of Luka Modric, Dejan Lovren and Ivan Perisic will be scheming one last unlikely run, as Canada will be back in 2026 as co- hosts.
There are two They are back in the tournament role.
Even though they made it to the World Cup final, no one knew what to expect from Croatia. The team is caught between an aging golden generation and a wave of new talent, and it has made for some inconsistent performances.
They showed they can match anyone with a win over France in Paris in June, but they were poor against Morocco in their opening group game and were cut open by Canada. They needed penalties to beat Russia andDenmark in the knockout rounds of the World Cup.
You can watch the LaLiga, Bundesliga, and more on the U.S. based on your location.
If they escape from Group F, no one will want to face them in the last 16 because they know what it takes to progress. They ran in Russia to find a way to get through. You have been told.
There are three. It was disappointing for Canada but it was valuable experience.
Canada were the better team against Belgium in their opening game and were all over Croatia for the first 20 minutes here, and while John Herdman's team will have won plenty of fans, they sit bottom of the group with two losses from two.
It's remarkable that they made it despite being ranked as low as 122nd by the world governing body. They will learn some valuable lessons when they share hosting duties with the US and Mexico. In Davies and David, they have players with talent and ability, but to prosper at this level, you also need experience and nous to manage key moments in a game.
Canada conceded two goals in the final 10 minutes of the first half as Croatia put their foot down, but Croatia did well to minimize the damage. It might have been different if Canada had been able to slow things down.
Josip Juranovic, Luka Modric, Dejan Lovren, and Borna Sosa are all listed.
Mislav Orsic, Lovro Majer, and Bruno Petkovic are on the subs.

Davies was completely lost for Canada's opening goal and was fortunate to get away with another mistake.

They enjoyed it almost as much as Davies did when he first started playing soccer.

The motivation came from Canada's coach. We showed who F'd whom.
He thinks there is respect for Croatia. We're here to push as much as we can. The mentality of the group needs to be changed by us. I could have been a bit more composed, but that's what I'm learning. I will accept that one on the chin. In the first 25 minutes, we showed that Canada can compete with the world.
Davies said that he was happy for the moment. I'm not happy with the outcome. It's hard to accept defeat. We needed those three points.
Alphonso Davies' goal after one minute, seven seconds was the fastest he had ever scored. His previous best was 4:08, when he was withVancouver.
When Croatia leads at the World Cup, they have never lost.
Mario Mandzukic is the only Croatian player with a multi goal game at the World Cup.
It is the first time that a Croatian player has two assists in a World Cup game.
In a game that could see either side advance or be eliminated depending on the result, Croatia faces Belgium at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.
Canada will play for pride, and hopefully a few more goals, against Morocco on Thursday.
