Croatia will play Canada in their second group-stage encounter of the ongoing FIFA World Cup and things are actually starting to get heated up ahead of the game. Canada’s coach, John Herdman has taken some hit at the Croatia football team, team saying, “I told them they belong here. And we’re going to go and F*ck Croatia. That’s as simple as it gets.”
Despite losing their first FIFA World Cup match against Belgium, Canada was absolutely sensational and made the Belgium players work absolutely to their limits to grab the win. And so after the match, the frustrated John Herdman said during an interview that they are going to thrash the Croatian team in their next match.
In a response to these comments, a Croatian tabloid 24 Sata posted a picture of a naked Herdman with Canada’s maple Leaf flags used to cover his mouth and his private parts with the caption, “You have the mouth, but do you have the balls as well?” Croatia’s coach Zlatko Dalic also said, “I’m not sure how nice it is to say something like that but it’s his right. “I think we need to show on the pitch that we’re better.”

What did John Herdman say to the Croatian fans ahead of their match?
John Herdman said, “It’s not massively respectful to Croatian people and the Croatian national team. I understand very well where they’re at on the world stage. But at that moment, you’ve taken your men to that next place. You’ve taken your team to that next place — that we’re here to be fearless and to bring everything we’ve got to that game.”
He added, “I mean no disrespect to the Croatian team and Croatian people, but at the end of the day, it’s a mindset that Canada’s going to have if we’re going to have three points against one of the top teams in the world. And it’s the mindset that we took to Belgium. We have to. It’s part of New Canada.”
