I wish we had Hakimi in Canada

According to the Fifa site, the Canada game is actually at 3 PM Sunday (June 28th) not 8 PM.

So if I understand-Haiti is eliminated now after their loss to morocco now ? Since they are in 4th place of their group

I like that much better as I will be on the ice at 7pm.

Scotland loses 3-0 to Brazil. They're now in a holding pattern. With 3 points they're not eliminated, but they haven't clinched anything either.

They may have to wait until Saturday and the final group games to see if they go through. The last game is on Saturday at 10 PM (3 AM in Scotland).

Yes, Haiti was really competitive, but ultimately lost all their games. They have zero points & are eliminated.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

So far 8 of 12 groups already have a team clinching the #1 spot.

Mexico, Switzerland, Brazil, USA, Germany, France, Argentina, and Columbia are all through as #1 teams.

Canada, Morocco, and Norway, have clinched as #2s, while Bosnia has clinched as a #3.

12 of 32.

I'll be on the road during the game sunday. one of my few days of travel in the next month, brutal, lol.

So tonight's games:

South Africa vs South Korea : If South Korea draw or beat South Africa, we play South Korea.

If South Africa beats South Korea, and Czechia draws or loses to Mexico tonight, we play South Africa.

If South Africa and Czechia both win, they will both go through but it will come down to goal differential, and/or goals for for 2nd place.

Currently, Czechia leads in both departments, so if that holds, we would play Czechia. In this scenario, South Korea is eliminated as a 4th place team

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

has there been a goal from a free kick yet? seems like free kick artists (Beckham, Ronaldo, etc) used to be a big part of soccer but not anymore. always looking for a cross + header instead.
