Quote from: crazy canuck on June 13, 2026, 07:24:02 PMNow that I've seen Qatar and the Swiss play, I think that if the Canadian side plays the same way it did in the second half against Bosnia they can win out.

If

Canada has trouble scoring, and Qatar are going to be tough to break down. IF Canada can score early, then that changes, so an early goal is key.

CC, you going to any games in Vancouver?

No, way too expensive for somebody who doesn't know enough about soccer to get the full value of those damn expensive tickets live. Besides this way, I get to chat with you guys while I'm watching the games.

Mrs. CC he's going to take in the viewing parties here on the North Shore. But I don't think it's going to be very accessible for me so I will just watch at home.

I would've gotten a ticket for my son to go see it, but he and the rest of his hall are on high alert for the duration of the World Cup

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

Yeah, canada had trouble finishing and david didn't seem in top form. Even larin who did great doesnt have it in him to play 90. If the Qatar goalie stays hot it'll be an issue.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

That pass before Morocco's goal.  :mmm:

Quite a statement from Morocco.

I will watch the Germany game now. I have high hopes against Curacao. Not sure why a liquor brand has its own team.  :huh:

Richard Hakluyt

And their manager is called Advocaat it seems  :hmm:

Norgy

Curacao make some impressively poor choices both defensively and when trying to attack. Germany's at walking pace, though.

Shows what I know.
1-1

I have no animus against Germany, but it is always nice to see an underdog like Curacao get a goal  :cool:

Norgy

Seems like few of the Curacao players are born on the island. More like a Dutch Northern Ireland team with the former Dutch national coach Dick Advocaat at the helm.

Germany lacks any fluid movement around the player on the ball at the moment.


Duque de Bragança

Curaçao is no Brazil, that's for sure.

Today we are all Japanese :cheers:
