Whether you're in a Stanley Cup final or you're in a Super Bowl or an NBA – like, players get hurt.
Like, it's just the reality of sport.
It's really unfortunate.
And just the shock on Kone's face when he realized his leg was snapped in half.
It was crazy because it was just such a fluke injury.
I don't think anyone just saw that coming.
So they –
They weathered the storm in terms of the difficult moment of making sure that they stayed focused and immediately turned their attention back to the game.
And the fact that Saliba came in and scored the first direct free-kick goal of this World Cup shows you the mentality of this group.
And I think that that bodes well.
But there's no one like Kone.
Just from a technical perspective, a size perspective, Canada do play a little bit risky playing a two-man midfield.
They're going to miss his legs and everything he brings to the table today.
Saliba, just like everyone else on Canada, whether it's Alphonso Davies not playing for the last 18 months or whoever's been out for this team, it's the next man up mentality.
And this team doesn't win by individual performances.
They win by playing as a collective.
and that's going to have to be the case again this time around.
Quite frankly, Canada will not be as strong of a team without Ismail Kone in it, but that doesn't mean that all is lost here.
It's just about Saliba, whether it's Chouinier, whether it's Sessorio, whoever plugs and plays in that role is going to take it collective, and it's going to really force everyone else to step up as well.
Yeah.
