@TzolakiSZN@horror_hearted I live the karma of a South African playing in Cyprus helping a) Canada avoid 50,000 Korean fans in LA and at same time b) screwing over Scotland who had no business being here over Greece (and Denmark) after 🇬🇷 dominated them in most of their 4 games in 2025.
South Africa's 🇿🇦 unexpected win created a gigantic boost for Group A in 3rd place rankings!
With 3 pts and -1 GD, South Korea 🇰🇷 are currently at 95% to make it.
All other groups suffer because of this, but the biggest losers are Scotland 🏴 whose chances drop to 41%.
@TzolakiSZN Commonwealth battle. Only played each other once, in a friendly in 2007 in Durban SA with current Cdn asst coach Staltieri getting ejected late in a 2-0 road loss to the 2010 host team.
@TzolakiSZN I always had them playing Korea in my pre tourney pool. Too many injuries.
But only game in the world on Sunday will be something I could only dream of when I started watching them in 1984.
Switzerland v Canada is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where both teams have a rare triple-point watershed.
At Switzerland’s Pass Lunghin, water can flow to the North, Black, or Adriatic seas. Canada’s Snow Dome drains to the Pacific, Arctic, or Hudson/Atlantic system.
Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.
I feel like I could score a couple goals a game if you put me as the striker on a great World Cup team. All they do is feed their best player endlessly.
