But I was told the linesman are not supposed to raise their flags?

Which is it?

Decent forearm to a face at 30' by Croatia.

Totally disagree. And they have an added bonus in that you know exactly who they are. Every kit has the checker pattern. And that red and shade of blue never change. It's almost like their FA has an identity and they stick with it.

Contrast that with US Soccer who thinks a white shirt with a little red trim says "USA". And don't get me started on not using the right shades of colors.

Look at Canada today. If they didn't have the score line at the top you would have no clue who they were.
Agree on Canada. All black is odd for them.

Still hate checkered kits.

The AR in the past would raise the flag as soon as it was an offside offense. In the new system, the AR waits until after the play. If it's offside, they raise it then.

The checks are on their flag. I'll allow it.

Also, 1-1. Poor hat.

Croatia's black kit from the last World Cup was awesome. Their traditional red & white checkers are ok.

He may be responsible for them qualifying more than anyone else in the team. He had a very good Octagonal

That goal has been coming. Canada need to get things settled.

Change the flag and they won't have to wear dumb checkers on kit.

I don't know why some country doesn't go solid color flag (Libya used to have one but I think they got rid of it after Gaddafi was overthrown.) There are enough red, whites and blues in the world.

Solid purple, for example. That would be distinctive.

Fun fact I didn't know until now. The Canadian GK is Serbian and plays for a Serb team. That must make for interesting smack talk when Croatia scores on him.

I think Croatia's unis are iconic and unique... which is exactly what national soccer teams should strive for. I can always tell who they are.

Is it just me, or does the Croatian keeper look like a dis-embodied head and legs on a green screen when he steps up onto the darker patch?

The Canadian lack of any sort of defense is the problem

Impossible. He's joining Miamis indoor team. Messi vs Tatu and the Sidekicks in finals going to be fire.

Canada is looking all the world like a team made to go through CONCACAF qualifying instead of WC play

ETA let's see how many more times I can misspell through.

It's my fault. I was feeling too complimentary towards them after the first 20' or so. Then they forgot to bunker after their goal and Croatia diced them up.

Some of it is they aren't made to play this way. Some of it is they played way above their pay grade in qualifying.

Sound the gong for the hat. Tough break drawing two UEFA squads in the first two games (although SOME teams are still alive with a similar draw).

Less CONCACAF means more iron.
