I am predicting Canada to play to their full potential against Morocco and shock people by winning 3-1 to advance to the round of 8.

Unfortunately this puts an end to Canada's 12 day stretch of being the only World Cup Host in the history of the World Cup to be undefeated at home.

Canada was presented an opportunity to hold that title for years should they have made it to the round of 8.

[CANMNT @CANMNT_Official]

The rally falls just short 💔

With the result, we’re still off to the knockout stage for the first time in history. See you in the Round of 32 🍁

@joshuakloke I think you are right about that. I have a feeling he will be very impactful today.

[Jonathan Clink @JonathanClinkFC]

@Saangers @R3gularAmerican I agree. It is bizarre that it does not seem to be addressed or recognized as a problem to have clear cases of bias frequently bleed into officiating.

[Jonathan Clink @JonathanClinkFC]

"Open ice hit" crossing the neutral zone with head down is normally a hockey thing.
Chris Richards was bringing some grit for USA in their recent win.

[Jonathan Clink @JonathanClinkFC]

@R3gularAmerican I thought the same thing.

[Jonathan Clink @JonathanClinkFC]

@Noobinvestor3 That home field advantage can definitely help with that. The 2nd tackle in that clip did get a yellow but first was not whistled.

[Jonathan Clink @JonathanClinkFC]

@petessake321 I agree

[Jonathan Clink @JonathanClinkFC]

@macec88 The 2nd one was a yellow, the first one did not get a whistle which I was surprised by. He'd probably play that 2nd tackle differently if the first was a yellow.

[Jonathan Clink @JonathanClinkFC]

Canada must play to win today.

I can see Canada making the round of 8 if they win their group. The path is significantly harder if they do not.

If you're not playing to win, you're playing to lose.

Roughly 1 goal for every 1,000 migrant workers who died in preparations for Qatar hosting the 02 FIFA World Cup.

I am pleased that Canada was the instrument of Qatar's embarrassment.

Qatar's leadership is lacking in morality and unworthy of being a Western business partner.

[CANMNT @CANMNT_Official]

Canada, we’ve waited a long time for this moment!

Our first ever win at a Men’s World Cup Finals! 🇨🇦❤️

@TimmyKal12 They've been underrated for a while

[Jonathan Clink @JonathanClinkFC]

3 CONCACAF teams are currently leading a FIFA World Cup Group (Canada, USA, Mexico).

The only other time this was the case was in the 2014 World Cup after the first set of matches (USA, Mexico, Costa Rica).

@UpwardBoss @Anthony__Koch Home field advantage and the implications in opponent are massive. It will be a great game to go to!

[Jonathan Clink @JonathanClinkFC]

@UpwardBoss @Anthony__Koch That game will matter a ton. If canada loses its likely knockout opponent is Mexico in LA. If Canada wins or draws we get to play a wildcard opponent in Canada and then another match in Canada if they win that. Switzerland will be playing hard.
