The Japan and especially the Saudi results are some of the most memorable World Cup results of all time. Hopefully the shocks continue.

Is can see Canada overpowering and outfighting this Belgium team.
I think an XI comprised entirely of players on the Belgium bench would probably overpower and outfight this Belgium team.

Atiba Hutchinson is still playing :eek: ?!
I wasn't paying attention properly, but I think they just said on RDS that he's breaking some record by starting the match at age 39. Oldest outfield player to start a WC match maybe?

can't get on board with this KDB best midfielder in the world stuff
Who's better than him? There are attackers like Mbappe that I think are better players but in terms of midfielders I think it's pretty clear he's the best. The closest are probably Kimmich, Modric and Pedri

Pedri wouldn’t even be the top3 CM in the PL.

I don't really believe it but I'd love Canada to get something from this. With a couple exceptions I think this Belgian team is very poor. Obviously still miles better than the Canadian team outside David and Davies.

Call me crazy, but was that Chris Hadfield on the Canada bench? Is there any place that fella hasn't been?

edit: you meant outfield, sorry :o

Good singalong tune, too! (I'll delete that list bit there. :p )
Not expecting much but during the World Cup we dream for the small nations unless they are playing our team.
There's nothing small about Canada though. ;)

That's what we were saying as well! Must be his twin!
