Sometimes they lack tactically, as it was even seen today. Belgium could have punished them with all the spaces they left behind but they were terrible in doing so. Surprisingly, it was KDB that kept getting the final ball wrong on multiple occasions.
Still, imagine you leave Dembele, Mbappe and Theo this type of room to run behind you after your press fails. But this is the way Canada plays, and at least it's very entertaining. I hope they make it out of the group. It'll be tough after losing this first game.
I have never watched them play previously and I agree with everything you said. It is perplexing how many bad passes De Bruyne made. They leave a lot of space behind but I would much rather watch this kind of exciting football than Belgium's tedious anti-football.
