Day 4: Morocco vs Croatia | Germany vs Japan | Spain vs Costa Rica | Belgium vs Canada

That is harsh on Canada :(
 
So that's one penalty Canada got and two Canada should have gotten. Hmpf.

Was the crowd chanting V-A-R ahead of that check btw? I couldn't make it out and then they cheered when the VAR check was announced.
Yes they were
 
I hope Canada don't drop their heads they have been excellent and can still come back.
 
What are people expecting from a guy who whistled full time here?

:eek: How can he be selected for World cup?
 
Should have had 3 penaltys, and they're 1-0 down...
 
It's that weird unwritten rule in football that you don't generally get a 2nd pen if you've already had one.

VAR should fix that sort of stuff but alas
 
Canada should have 3 here. They'll be kicking themselves
 
Undeserved but the Canadian defence had looked at risk of being breached a couple times already. Canada can't be as wasteful as they have been in a game like this. As I type it another awful miss. They need to score soon.
 
Honestly puts Messi and his Copa America win in context. I wonder if modern football doesn’t mesh well with how South American want to play as a whole

I'll be interested to see how Brazil get on because honestly, I think the Nations League and covid have seen SA teams not have to face European teams very often so something like Italy's unbeaten run was more impressive than the Argies.
