How are we not winning this?!
Canada could be 4 up . . . . Its like watching Brighton 
Can't help thinking Belgiums manager is a bit G South and sticks to his trusted minions, even if they're well off

Played it onto the Canadian player, the ball deflected to the forward. It was definitely offside mate.

Keep playing like this and we won't be flying under the radar any more.

Man of the match on the BBC site!
Early days. Think they could end up paying the price for almost always taking that extra touch or two in or near the penalty area. It's one of those games where 'one shot, one goal' (for Belgium) could swing the game - Canada are playing at their peak level, I think - can they go up another gear, or even sustain this level, if they fall behind? I have my doubts.
Doing commendably well so far though - credit where it's due.

Penalty, surely
Unless they go to a quarter final or something I don't think it is likely (not saying it would be wrong though).
Another for Courtouis to save!
Looked like a trip……

Belgium look shocking here, not sure why that second penalty incident wasn’t looked at… trod on his boot clearly

VAR is all over the place.
Only consistency is inconsistency.

If Belgium can't abuse the oceans of space Canada are giving them, they'll struggle, to say the least, to break down better teams.
Impressed by Hutchinson. When I saw him play for Helsingborg like 20 years ago I wouldn't have imagined him, or Canada at all, playing in the World Cup in 2022.
