Canada did not perform well this tournament, and although the team reached the finals as group leaders in the qualifiers, their return to the World Cup after 36 years also indicates their lack of experience. In the first round against Belgium, they pressed all the way but failed to force their opponents to make a mistake with mad dog tactics. The last round against Croatia further exposed the inexperienced side, after scoring early and then being rebounded by Croatia four goals in a row, and finally losing 1-4, and the record of losing both games also made them declare out in the round early, this game will become meaningless, the fighting spirit is definitely insufficient, and whether it will make the player's mentality more relaxed will be another matter.
