Quote from: Duque de Bragança on November 26, 2022, 03:53:58 PMClaimed attendance at the ARG-MEX stadium: 88,966
Official stadium capacity: 80,000

 :hmm:

A pattern in this Wahhabi Cup

They recently announced that stadium capacities were higher than initially advertised. Equally suspicious, but...

Weren't they saying they expected something  like 10% of capacity for media, which is way off. Which as an excuse seems odd.

Costa Rica on track to beat Japan.
Wacky results galore.
Shame Japan couldn't follow up on the Germany result. Maybe they're one of those teams that only perform when they're the underdog? Fingers crossed for the Spain game.

Over for Belgium with Morocco scoring the second goal in stoppage time.

2-0

Deserved victory, disappointing Diables Rouges.

Canada has to win or they're out. Go Canada!

*edit or I guess tie to keep a slim chance. I'd prefer the win

Yeah, they have to get something out of this match....a win is best.

Also, maybe that 1-0 loss to Belgium doesn't look so promising now.

I've gotten hold of some Astra beer and some fancy pancy (but horrible) Hamburg spirit. Tonight I think I will cry.

Hopefully Spain will redeem their horrible crimes on football, like Italy in 2006, and I might get a new team to root for.

But I think there will be tears.

Canada are a really decent side
