I'm not a huge soccer guy, but I am pumped for tomorrow. Just to see them play on that stage is quite awesome.

GAME DAY

[PortKells]

Croatia and Morocco draw nil nil! Good result meaning that going through the group stage is a little simpler, just need a win and a draw. Maybe even two draws.

We should be up by at least two or three but can't take our chances. Belgium had one and they cashed in.

Most shots (14) by a team in a half without scoring for the first time in a world cup since 2006.

But they can't hit the net , no finish, a bunch of Hoglanders ., Belgium definitely looks beatable.

Had a bad feeling after Alphonso missed that early penalty kick.

Bah. Unlucky. Onto Sunday.

Deserved to win that game but absolutely no finishing. Belgium were clinical and took their chance. Otherwise we completely dominated the match. But that means squat if you can't score.

How is Croatia compared to Belgium?

From what I hear they're older . I'm Croatian but I'll be rooting for Canada

How is Croatia compared to Belgium?

Similar. Aging squad and their best player is a midfielder (Modric) like Belgium (De Bruyne) . Perhaps lucky for us, they didn't look unbeatable against Morocco in that 0-0 draw earlier today.

With the pace of Canada's attack and based on how well we played against Belgium today, definitely a drawable or even winnable game on Sunday.

Need to play at 110% again though. And of course, be more clinical. Dominate the game all you want but whoever scores the more goals at the end of the day gets the 3 points.

Dare l say that bag of candy thrown on the ice in the last minute looked tasty indeed.
Knucks 4-3 over Average Lanch.

Last night shows that if we even had league average goaltending, we'd be a good team. I saw someone on hfboards write, and this is even more sad - if the canucks had blown ONLY 4 multi goal leads this season then we would be comfortably in a playoff spot.

It's just so Canucks that we have the top goal scorer, a great offense etc. but then suddenly our elite goaltending becomes worst in the league overnight.
