Tielemans should maybe retire after that.

Tielemans 
Canada have been a joy to watch going forward. Just need a goal.
Good ball that from KDB.
Belgium look so tired. There squad is ageing. To reliant on de bruyne.
So many teams lacking a striker or the striker instincts.
Batshuyai is so bad!
Just got canadian citizenship. feck spain go canada
Canada playing with the power of a moose!
Belgium fans are stunned
We really have to score soon. The momentum will inevitably shift before long, can't keep missing chances like this
Belgium need to retire their whole team.
Great game so far. Fear Canada will tire themselves out and KdB will end up scoring a pen to win 1 nil.
Michy has been useless so far
Perhaps it just reflects the dearth of quality strikers. Maybe Serbia's Vlahovic will rise to the occasion.
Belgium wasted their golden gen on Martinez. He belongs at clubs like Wigan or Everton where he can coach bums like Shaun Maloney and Stephen Pienaar.
Inevitable sucker punch goal will come sadly.
Real generational change incoming at this WC, so many old stars having their last hurrah.
Tielemans blowing out of his arse already
Gif of Tielemans please? No replay yet.
Every time there is a world cup, I am surprised that smaller football nations surprise. It sometimes seems as if there are many talented players in parts of the world that the European clubs do not get to know thoroughly enough. Players from the Middle East, Asia or North America who should be playing in bigger clubs.
Belgium is really the perfect team for Canada to upset. Their defence is ancient and slow as feck, Canada's attackers are ridiculously fast, just lump it behind them and press them high. Danger is if they get past that first press then it's a big chance every time for Belgium. Makes it a fun game at least
Shame Norway didn't qualify. Would have been fun watching Haaland, especially when hes not playing for City.
Actually, we were kind of expecting that sort of display. Martinez has lost the plot with his selections for a while now.
It's the hardest skill in the game. It's why they cost so much.
This is really insane, Belgium reduced to counterattacking when Canada let them. Lots of good chances for Canada as well. Great advertisement for soccer in Canada, but it would be nice if one of these chances went in finally!
Tielemans is not a professional athlete
Tielemans out of breath after half an hour. Not good
That Belgian team selection is awful, talk about sticking with old favourites. No legs in that team at all. Canada are outrunning them by miles. Surely Trossard and Onana need to play, a few others too.
Belgium is also being outmuscled all over the pitch.
Atiba Hutchinson is about 40 years old but looks one of the most fittest on the pitch.
Multiple people in here were able to point out that Belgium's team of geriatrics and lightweights could easily get done here. They've got plenty of youth, energy and physicality on the bench as well.
Martinez is a moron and should consider himself very fecking lucky if this side survives long enough for him to make changes.

Check that.
This ref has zero bottle
Thats a pen again !
Should be yet another penalty
But also that there’s way more to football than just 5 European leagues. People even won’t respect the best 5 leagues, calling ‘farmers’ for Ligue 1 and Bundesliga, never mind weaker leagues.
Clear pen
That looks a pen
