Surely David as the striker should be taking that?

Shame as the blocked handball shot was going in.

    This is a major tournament too far for this ageing Belgium side. Jan Vertongen!! You wouldn’t want to pin your hopes on Michi either. Was shit in the prem

      Shame the Canadian Football Leafs aren’t wearing their home kit today…

      Belgium’s defending might be bad enough to make this interesting.

        303abuser What an awful penalty. Fuck.

        Yeah, Davies shouldn’t have been the one to take that.

          Belgium are playing in red yeah?

          loopdokter I fucking hate hockey.

          there was me hoping I could grab my skates and hit the ice with you next time I’m over #disappointed

              We’re better than our ranking denotes. Get your fucking flag out and start screaming at the telly!

              I’m a pig in shit right now. So chuffed this is happening! Our sports broadcaster has sent a full crew and is even announcing the games instead of opting for the FIFA announcer feed like we usually do. Of course one is an Englishman and the other is a Scotsman. 😄

              Miller is having a beast of a game. He’s saved us a couple of times already.

              I love that Belgium look stunned. Canadian fans are clearly the loudest in the stadium. I’m hearing repeated chants of ‘Can-a-da’ and boos from when calls go against us.

              We’ve gotta do a better job of marking De Bruyne (as much as you can mark the best midfielder in the world) on the counter. He’s getting a bit too much space.

                  loopdokter You lot do realize I’ve got my referee’s badges and play footy on a weekly basis, yes?

                  Aye mate, we do. Proper proud like.

                    It’s not my game of choice, but like any good Canuckian I know how to skate and play so I’d be up for it.

                        loopdokter We’ll see. Belgium looks like they’re asleep, doesn’t look like we have a proper finisher, and we qualified against really weak teams. I’ll be very happy to be proven wrong.

                            Costa Rica just squeezed into the World Cup through a playoff. We were atop of the group. We’re a fair bit better than them. So yes.

                                I understand your Canadian pessimism (how very Canadian of you) when it comes to the beautiful game, but it’s time to start believing. We’re here and can do this.

                                At this stage we should be in the lead based upon how we’ve played.

                                    loopdokter but like any good Canuckian I know how to skate

                                    And to think I almost just called you a faux Canadian 😅

                                      loopdokter It wasn’t an actual question, loopy but cheers anyway.
