Well, this one I just don't see it for Canada. I still feel CONCACAF is in a weak cycle. Canada hasn't been here for decades and still doesn't have real stars but maybe one.

Belgium has a lot of experience and class. And is hardly new to the dangers of speed, that mythical quality CONCACAF pundits tout as if it is new and sudden.

:)

I want Canada to get a result for the sake of Croatia. But I predict 2-0 for Belgium. Hope I'm wrong.

Go Canada, I see a lack of pace in defence for Belgium. Roberto Martinez is always beatable.

Janny Sikazwe the ref is Zambian

We might not be good as a region but at least got two refs good enough. This Sikazwe and the ref who officiated afcon final and took charge yesterday victor Comes between France and Australia :taunt: :thumbs:

The same ref that ended an AFCON game 5 mins early, complaining of heat stroke :P Good but can be erratic, gives you something to remember.

Canada showed they are the best team in CONCAAF.

And how is this ref in the WC after his fiasco at the ANC

Well, Canada blew it.

You have to make that penalty.

Terrible shot against a great goalie.

That said...I have to admit Canada look good.

I thought David or Hutchinson would’ve taken the pk. The good thing is that they didn’t fight for the ball.

They had a chance to score the rebound but they weren't composed enough
