Dutch vs Canada June 6 2024

[Regs]

First half started well I thought and then the Dutch took over territorially.

Dayne St. Clair was very good.

Alistair Johnson was not very good. Has he peaked for the National team?

Problem for Canada is when you're second best you've got to capitalize when you get chances and there were half looks in the first half.

A couple of world class balls from Eustaqio go for not, handful of corners wasted, then the big chance for Larin at the end of the half.

A goal changes the entire complexity of the game. Probably Netherlands still go on and win but when you don't score you're just waiting to lose against an opponent of that caliber.

St Clair with some huge saves but then absolutely brutal on goals 3 and 4.

Bench was useless for Canada. When you look at who Holland were bringing on it is laid pretty bare how far we still have to go in developing players. You need a squad of 20+ who can contribute and we do not have that.

France and Argentina to come...

Davies played goal 1 and 2 poorly. Goal one lazy on the cross instead of closing the space, goal two blissfully unaware of where Frimpong was. They were attacking Davies all game as positionally he’s a complete mess and relies on pace to recover.

Almost like the Dutch were attacking his front hole, which is a big weakness of his.

Gaping front hole you might say
