That would make me feel much less bad about Canada doing so poorly in our group with both of them making the final (and Belgium who were expected to do well not even getting out). Man our group was tough.

Yah, we (Canada) were ranked 12 behind Morocco, 25 behind Croatia, and a full 39 behind Belgium in the November FIFA rankings. I think we did pretty well in two of the three group matches.

Belgium was very bearable that game too. Just poor luck. We’re also the only team with a goal against Morocco

Six shots on target in three matches and oft-shaky performances from the keeper is hard to say Canada did well. That said, there were some close moments in the Morocco match. Topping the group in CONCACAF, I expected more from them.

I honestly would love to see Croatia and Morocco make it to the final.

Didnt Croatia get to the final against France last time? Wouldnt be that much of an upset.

They did, but Argentina is 10 places higher than Croatia in the FIFA rankings, so it would still count as an upset.

I think Croatia is quite likely to be honest. They’re good

With a tie being declared and San Marino being crowned winners due to a convenient technicality
