Ben, (a very tired) Peter and Alex recap one of the wildest days in Canadian soccer history. They go over every possible angle from the 1-0 loss to Belgium to open their 2022 World Cup campaign, beginning with Alphonso Davies' penalty, the "penalty taker by committee" rule and whether he'll attempt another if given the chance.

They then dive into Canada's tactics against Belgium, the positives and negatives of the approach, the lack of ruthlessness in front of goal, whether that can be corrected and go over the performances of specific individuals (Miller, Buchanan, David, Larin, etc.)

Finally, the boys preview the Croatia game with their usual predicted XIs, analyze how Canada could approach that game tactically and whether Croatia is now more beatable than initially anticipated.
