- Soccer
John Herdman told his players, and the world, that Canada would take down Croatia. Instead, the wily Croatians taught Herdman's team a harsh lesson, using their experience and technical quality to knock Canada out of the World Cup with a resounding 4-1 result. After such an encouraging performance against Belgium, it was a deflating way to bow out of the competition. How did everything go so wrong after Alphonso Davies' historic goal just 68 seconds into the match? Did Herdman get his tactics and lineup wrong? And did his infamous pre-game comments come back to haunt Canada? Episode 8 answers those questions, and breaks down the defeat from every angle.
