lol at that German 'protest'. It's less than doing nothing, and then they lost to Ja-PAN.

It's just embarrassing at this stage and talking of which, how's Gary getting on talking about the issues on BeIN?Originally Posted by Lewis
Wasn’t great but it’s definitely more than completely wimping out.
True facts.
Davies and David’s pace could be very fun behind that Belgium defence
Apparently this is the ref that stopped the AFCON game 5 mins early. Lolz if he does it again for the bantz just to go against whatever new rule they’ve got going here
It would be nice if there were a single country there that thought a yellow card was a price worth paying for taking a stand against human rights abuses.
Yeah is it mental that I think Canada could do something here?
Nope, they've got a decent looking side.
I remember my mate absolutely battering my Turkish league FUT team and mocking me for my star player being an ancient Canadian DM, and the cunt is their captain about 6 years later. Fair play to old man Atiba.
You can't argue with that decision. Was going towards goal, hit his hand which was outstretched. Yellow a bit harsh but them's the rules I guess.
ffs.
Oh ffs you useless cunt
lol at that attempt.
Lol, fuck off Canada.
Worse than the penalty was the first touch on the rebound. Should have controlled it and scored easily.
Yeah I was thinking that
Ugh.
Looked like some fairly wild spin on it as it came back out to him.
Is Hutchinson the one with the massive long throws?
That offside decision was worse than the penalty. Defender literally passed it back
Shit penalty but Canada have started so well here. Question now is if they can maintain it for the whole match.
Maybe he is a regular penalty taker but it felt a bit like "he's the star man he takes pens", while there's prob some dweeb who has scored 25 out of 27 pens for the Calgary Chinooks.
To be fair it's a derby for them.
The Axis derby.
Canada robbed of a second penalty.
I think David is a penalty taker at club level.
I reckon about 14.8% of my football watching lifetime has been spent watching Alderweireld and Vertonghen ponderously knock the ball to each other, 90 yards from goal.
Batshuayi's first touch is so bad.
Hazard
Can't quite tell if the ref is a bit whistle happy or if Canada do just keep fouling them.
Davies is going to run himself into the ground. He’s playing about 3 positions at once. He’s injury prone as it is
Probably should have had Jonathan David take it. Or 39 year old Atiba Hutchinson.
Courtois going to wind up man of the match.
Canada are fucking class, Belgium are toilet.
Jesus, any team with pace and better quality would put 8 past these
This reminds me of one of those Man U games, from the truly shit era, when someone like Bournemouth would play them off the park, De Gea would keep it 0-0 and then Cavani or some twat would score at the end.
That is a penalty kick.
Penalty for me too.
Amazed that's not been given.
I think they both first-ruled it, was easier not to give it having not given it on the pitch.
Somebody please relieve me from the Belgian centre backs knocking it between themselves. Absolutely eye-bleeding stuff.
Gross.
Ugh, nice finish though.
Hazard is a mascot, get one of those BLM boys on the bench on instead.
So many chances wasted.
God this is so much like watching Mowbray era west Brom, probs similar to late era Howe Bournemouth - playing lovely football, looking creative, stretching defenses but just a little bit too little composure and quality in the last ball or finish, and a bit naive defensively, and you end up thinking how the fuck have we lost this. One of the most frustrating things to watch.
Canada's front line is probably a bit better than Chris Brunt, Luke Moore and Felipe Teixeira though.
This is more like late-Ferguson, where they would go somewhere and get battered, but the other team would simply miss all of their chances out of respect.
Alphonso Davies was electric in that half, except when it came to ball striking. Club football is about running. International football is about ball striking.
Okay guess it wasn't a penalty then, huh.
Edit: but the other one prob was lol
Kompany is a miserable cunt.
Probably because his kid is stuck with Phil Foden and his missus.
Without wanting to give an earnest reply to a tongue in cheek comment, it prob is a bit of a headfuck to go from the non stop adrenaline rush of being a world class footballer playing at the highest level to just stopping, doesn't it make loads of ex players go a bit mental. I spose he gets to manage Burnley and chat with Rio but er yeah.
Costa Rica looked worse than Qatar.
