FIFA World Cup 2026 - discussion etc

Bloody header shoulda gone in.

Oof what poor timing on that one.

Play much more in SA half this past ten or so.

Has FIFA ever articulated a reason why VAR can overturn a corner but not a goal kick?

ACK!!! damnit!

How did that not go in?

Did defender’s toe touch the ball or should that have been a penalty?
EDIT: yeah, it did. But damn.

Canada had too many blown scoring opportunities and crummy passing that first half. :anguished_face:

Really, I’m the multi-poster? :confused:
Gotta say very curious how much Davies will get played this half.

Should that maybe have been a yellow on Buchanan?

This might be the lowest quality World Cup knock out game I’ve ever watched.

I definitely watching a movie while glancing over to my second screen to see what is up. Chances we end with 0-0 and go to kicks?

High.

Hopefully Alphonso Davies can make something happen. Saffas have offered absolutely nothing.

The announcer beat me to it. If your strategy isn’t working try a different tactic.

It looks like he’s playing offensive left wing, while at Bayern he usually plays left defender. Am I right that this is his position in team Canada?

  • pass to the outside
  • wait for the defense to stack up
  • profit

It is. Playing LB at Bayern is (as so often) about necessity & the constant lack of fullbacks.

GOAL Canada!

YES!!! Finally.

Regardless of what happens on the pitch, the RSA trainer looks like a guy in the waiting room of his dentist.
