0Brien:
Sounds like they just came to have fun. Who brings an inexperienced team to the World Cup?

I should have clarified...I actually meant RELATIVELY inexperienced compared to our North African Brothers. If they keep Jason, they'd gain some experience and grow through several other programs including opportunities to play in top tier leagues and clubs....they're still a young side ...but will improve in coming years if they stick together

Canada is under intense pressure now...they've lost their shape ...especially at the back

0Brien:
Canada's ball control is very poor. Just running blindly and mindlessly, waiting for luck to happen

They're young and inexperienced...if they don't go through tonight they've tried and done well for themselves and Country

Morroco now on ascendancy......Canada now has less men committed at the back....that is going to open them up the more ...giving the Morrocans will not stop attacking them

Streamz:
The foul by the Canadian that led to the goal was unnecessary. He wasn’t a threat at all. He shouldn’t have kicked him.

Absolutely, and he picked a yellow card in the process....as the game progresses ...it's beginning to boil down to experience...and that's advantage Morroco

Well, well...let's see how Canada responds...they need to remain focused and avoid getting more cards.....1 red card to this inexperienced Canadian side will kill the game completely for them..

goal!!!
Morroco

HelenaWills:
Aren't there native Canadians anymore?
I'm just watching these so called Canadians on the pitch and they all look like some borrowed players assembled from Africa.
No single indigenous people of Canada in the team or bench.

This is madness to me.

Good observation. Ma'am but this is football...and not politics where people are "selected" ( like in some parts of Africa) or Elected fairly based on Competence if they're looking for who to get the job done and not based on Geopolitical diversity and equity.
Having said that, Canada's national soccer squad is not built around specific geographic or ethnic demographics, but rather through a merit-based selection of top talent globally. The squad list primarily reflects the country’s diverse, multicultural immigration landscape and dual nationals rather than historical representation from individual First Nation communities.
When matches held in Vancouver, they were represented in the other worldcup related events even if they don't have a name/face in this squad
By the way I am Canadian as well( I hold a dual nationality).....trust this helps your observation a bit

Half-time!!
I like the end2end even though, there's not been lots of shots on target or even at goal

See how these young Canadian boys are sprinting back in synchrony to defend when they lose the ball at the Morrocan end...can they sustain this?
Another yellow card to Morroco. I think they need to separate the way they play in Africa with a CAF centre referee and how they play in this Worldcup with a FIFA referee in charge...huge difference IMHO

Angelfrost:
Yeah... If they don't calm themselves down, one of them will get a red card.

They are mostly youths with very limited exposure and maturity.

Absolutely, I was typing same about potential red cards ...didn't know you picked that up as well....as it is, the Morrocans too need to calm down...their frustration is beginning to tell

with the way cards are flying in this half.. won't be surprised to see a red card in this half soon

Canada 🇨🇦 is everywhere, chasing down every ball, throwing themselves into every challenge and this can be frustrating for a team like morroco that likes to move the ball around very quickly

This match will boil down to tactical discipline, experience and attention to fine details which on Paper, the Morrocans have more than the Canadians.
I feel that Morroco will be looking to get spot kicks, fall theatrically in key places and utilize the opportunities from such play

The way this Man Tinubu dey make policies and appointments ehnn ...he will further polarize the country to the extent that this fragile union will completely disintegrate or somebody will come after him and undo most of these slant tribal and nepotistic executive actions. Now most of the other tribes are reacting to "adire" on social media platforms and nobody will try to even understand weather there are merits to this type of policy.
We saw some of these from Buhari and condemned it but Tinubu is now using the same dirty tactics to rob it in the faces of Nigerians....
We still await the outcome of the Gbaja scam another one too many scandal 😒

Iya Alakara ...vs Baba Alagbado vs Omo oni kuli-kuli...toh .
Na so dem don turn the matter to joke and now they're saying it on our faces like.."the joke's on you Nigerians for all we care"

Incompetent FG of Nigeria surrounded by rogues!

Any leader surrounded by rougues is CHIEF ROUGUE himself. Show me your friends and associates and I will tell you, who you are indeed!

Write in English language please....thanks

I no lie, as I read this thing now...sh.iit just begin turn my belle...only a Nigerian can pull this kind not even the devil. That's how somebody in the mid 90s sold a non existent airport to a Brazilian bank for $242 million!!!

BlackPantherxXx:
HouseNegro.... Might be unable to speak his own native language as fluently

Impressive though, Mandarin is at the summit of difficulty in languages.

Are you just learning to use the derogatory word "HouseNegro" or what....how has this become a race issue for a kid making headlines for the right reason...your compliment of the Mandarin language as an after thought does not count after a wreckless attack on an innocent boy wet no even send you 🤔

naturalwaves:
He is injured. He didn't play the last game as well.

No wonder....thanks

Tielemanns should be msn of the match...he did a great job for this Lucky Belgium team

I can only conclude that our problems in Africa is MANAGEMENT! ...We're not good at managing success...I feel its a value or cultural thing and I am generalizing here not the absolute .
Look at how our Suoer eagles thew away our worldcup qualifications with all sorts of draw games and loses...
Its over....Belgium wins...
Commentator says "Belgium squeeze through..." he's right that squeezing edge is what was lacking in the Senegalese side.

Dem for bring mendy o...

See lukaku like vulture...e wan benefit from march wey Senegal throwaway...what if he misses

Well its penalty to Belgium ....haha this life

even if there's an infringement...it appears like outside the 18...abeg na sarcasm o

This life no balance o...na Senegal come dey beg ref make e no award penalty now

Senegal.....nawa o...
1st half of extra time over!

Teenwolf:
Something is seriously wrong with the black African man..I said let me just go and bathe, only to comeback to see 2-2 ..

Na you be the problem...why you go baff away the victory?

If Senegal fit manage hold on till penalty make them bring in Mandy a few minutes to the penalties to help them save some shots...one of his specialties...I don't have alot of confidence on the judgment of this current keeper between the sticks

geechy:
Tieleman is really pulling the Belgian team attack.. He is a force in the team

Yeah...Tielemann is a very focused pkayer...nothing fanciful always trying to get the job done!!
