I don't know if they didn't have the gas they had vs Belgium (which may be understandable but...
The moment they stopped taking the game forward doomed them. They're not good enough to play that way against a team like Croatia.
That and losing shape at the back as the game progressed.
Any time you stand there too long on the ball at the back unless you're the top teams/players in the world it never ends well for a team that's not level in ability. You got to play with pace and keep the ball moving.
Even the GK's distribution was questionable.
After that first cross for the goal most of the rest were consistently under-hit or off target.
IF one of those shots Canada had hit the back of the net it might have been a better result.
It'll be tough but ideally they play to win versus Morrocco.
