Canada manager John Herdman said on Saturday his team was fired up for a test against 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia after the Canadians fell to Belgium 1-0 despite outplaying them.
Canada, taking part in their second World Cup, are still looking to score their first goal in the history of the men's tournament. They qualified for the tournament in 1986, where they crashed out at the group stage both winless and goaless.
"It's a hell of a test for this team. We are excited," Herdman told a news conference. "We have a hell of a match coming." In response to his comments, a Croatian tabloid published a full-page picture of a naked Herdman with maple leaves covering his mouth and private parts with the headline: "You have the mouth, but do you have the balls as well?"
"My wife's coming after you guys. She wishes she had that guy," he said, grinning. "I've got a bit more of a belly than that."
