Summing up the BBC coverage of Canada in this match in two words, ā€˜Aw. Blessā€™

So thatā€™s Canada out then, right?

    Echo Yep. No more Emily Brontƫ style posts from Loopy.

      Thank fuck. MID team back where they belong. Good riddance!

      I thought Belgium was such a well behaved country as well

      mono-stereo He is. Could have played for England and did at u15 level. Another one Chelsea let slip through their fingers

          Can we get a temporary character limit before Jay copies and pastes the epic he is undoubtedly knocking out in Word about what Canadaā€™s only goal means to him personally?

            hugopal According to the BBC commentator, Canadaā€™s scorer was ā€œtheir undisputed star - Jonathan Daviesā€ šŸ˜†

            Heā€™s not the first to get them confused. The amount of times Iā€™ve seen commentators butcher Alphonso Davies last name and call him Davis, or even Jonathan David and vice versa is pretty high. Iā€™ve even seen it happen to Davies during the Bundesliga English feed games (always an Englishman paired with a German speaking English) when he plays for Bayern.

              Itā€™s a big moment for the sport in this country. Itā€™s the first goal scored in a World Cup after not having scored whatsoever 36 years ago in 1986. Thatā€™s the story line our sports broadcaster was running with at least. 8.9 million Canadians (AKA 25%) watched the Belgium vs. Canada match. It was the second largest most-watched sports event behind the Super Bowl. Thatā€™s a pretty impressive number when you consider that the women used to out-draw the CMNT in attendance and also viewing numbers.

              Considering where we were and where we are now as a footballing nation, I think weā€™ve come a long way and thereā€™s room to be proud but also to improve upon even more. Iā€™m excited for when we co-host in 2026!

              We looked the part for a good twenty minutes, but Croatia were clearly the better and more experienced side. Croatia laid waste to our high press. I still remain hopeful that we can beat Morocco and would love to see us score again and at least get three points out of a match - even if itā€™s meaningless as far as the tournament is concerned. Personally I feel the only way to go is up from here.

              Also, before you get too big for your britches Zackster, donā€™t forget the Canada beat and drew both the US and Mexico in qualifying for this whole thing. šŸ™‚

              At least we won the Davis Cup today, so thereā€™s some consolation.
