I called it at the start of the thread, unfortunately (though I thought Belgium would be advancing, not Morocco)
however Canada surprised me with how strong they came out against Belgium, and they played well in the second half today but they were terrible at other times and were easily overpowered. People can talk about XG or not getting enough injury time, but the only thing that matters is goals. They didn't create enough, and didn't take the chances they had and ultimately paid the price by conceding through some awful mistakes.

I'm interested to see how they (hopefully) progress from here and yes Sherm I do hope to catch more of them between now and 2026.
