[Football] Japan vs. Canada (final pre-Qatar friendly)

[Quebec Seagull]

Obviously hoping for an entertaining game and a Canada win, today, but wouldn't mind seeing Mitoma playing well and maybe even scoring one.

Watching on Fubo.tv.

Good test for Canada!

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Well, Japan resting Mitoma and several others first-team players, including Tomiyasu, on the bench.

Same deal for Canada, plus Alphonso Davies in the stands as a precautionary measure.

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Japan 1 - 0 Canada

Egregious defensive error 10 minutes in.

 

[Paris]

Wise to rest Mitoma. He could well end up being one of the shining lights of this World Cup.

Also, he's just been ill.

Japan 1 - 1 Canada

Vitória, our 35-year-old CB, taps it in on a set piece!

Water breaks for both teams. The stadium in Dubai is open air.

Canada dominant, but we've got more of our starting XI on the pitch.

Congratulations! My application is going in in Jan!

Also: 2-1 to Canada!

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Yes, penalty at the very end of added time.

Lots of shots for Canada, only 3 on target. A Carabao Cup-type match with the big names playing the spectator -- Mitoma and Tomiyasu on one side, Eustáquio and Davies on the other, while the remaining regulars were replaced as the second half started and progressed.

Congrats and good luck!

I’m waiting on my citizenship ceremony here out west.

Seems to be enough of us to have our very own True North Stand Chat eh.

I'm in the Ottawa Valley between Arnprior and Renfrew. There's also @Vankleek Hill Seagull based in.... you guessed it... Vankleek Hill (Beaus Brewery area). I'm sure there's more too!

How long did the process take you? And any idea how long the wait for the ceremony will be?

Still ill?

To add to Albion players in friendlies today, Sanchez played the first half in Jordan v Spain, still at 0-1 at present, and Lamptey played 81 mins for Ghana v Switzerland finishing 2-0.

I knew there was another line up I should check. I have an app with matches throughout the world.

That's awesome! I'm in Gatineau.

We should get together on a Sunday morning to watch a game in one of the Byward Market pubs -- fairly central location for the lot of us.
