Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia

[Collymore]

Atmosphere awful. Sounds like school kids in attendance. 

[Sly]

This doesn’t feel like we’re watching a team capable of winning the World Cup. 

[hebangsthedrums]

not watched in full, but castinet?

 

Also Hutchinson was great on FM2007 or one from that sort of period, him and Gelson Fernandes - solid

[RoboFox]

Canada losing their touch here. Look a bit knackered which is a shame, as they’ve been great to watch.

 

Belgium have been absolutely fvcking woeful though. Too many players way over the hill and KDB looks so off it.

In comparison to our game it's normal and understandable.. Moroccan game sounded like a home match 

[lcfcsnow]

The added on time in this World Cup has stopped all that nonsense where the winning team has cramp or a pretend injury every few minutes and I’m all for it

[Mike Oxlong]

C’mon Canada 

 

Reel in these pesky waffle munchers 

[st albans fox]

Surely the ref will be blowing for time soon …..

[Pliskin]

Well, one thing this does prove is Martinez has ruined Belgium.

Jesus I really hope Martinez doesn't ever get the Leicester job.

Martinez is like a Spanish parody of Rodgers.

[StanSP]

Thought that kind of tackle was outlawed. The scissors motion. 

[whoareyaaa]

proper tackle

[RowlattsFox]

Johnston has been fouling all game. 

[Pliskin]

What is it about international teams lately that just opt to pick their shittest players? 
 

Ever since Dunga managed Brazil it seems to be a trend from some managers to just pick absolute honkers leaving genuine quality on the bench.

Still quite fancy Canada to nick an equaliser here. 

[Sly]

Belgium have some quality, however I think past their peak. 
 

Hazard and Lukaku were in the top players in the world, four years ago. Not now. 
 

KDB isn’t loving this either.

They’ve not tested Belgiums defence enough. That defence will struggle against top attacks. 

[RoboFox]

Come on Canada. Deserve a point from this.

[Molson Canadian]

Bad subs by canada. 

[Molson Canadian]

Davies must be feeling terrible he missed that penalty. 

[TJQuik]

I think Chris Wood or Steve Howard would put one of these away for Canada

[Guest StevieLynex]

We need to sign Buchanan

[Pliskin]

Considering where Canada have come from in terms of football, this has been a fantastic performance. They can take a lot of heart and hope into their next two games. 

[TJQuik]

"Henry is screaming at them not to take a short corner"

 

They do it anyway.

 

[Aus Fox]

Well I think I’ve seen enough from Canada to suggest they will give both Croatia and Morocco a game, they’re certainly not out of it yet.

On the flip side, nothing in this Belgian side makes me think they are genuine contenders to win the cup.
