I am sure there is a video somewhere of the Iranian players reacted jubilantly when Mahrez scored the winner.
Iran
should be proud.
If Canada wins tonight are they at least allowed to play the next round at home?
Looking forward to this.
At the usual Liverpool pub here in Vancouver for this match. I should have worn my Liverpool shirt.
No, there is only one match in the Round of 16 in Canada, in Vancouver. The Swiss have the track to get there by winning that group. All of the matches from then on are in the US. Mexico was in the same situation, but won their group.
As a taxpayer, I have no idea why we are supporting Canada Soccer and FIFA as a host. As a Canada Soccer member, I think the organization needs new leadership.
To our resident Canadians and our resident south african @wyld.at.hrt , good.luck and hope its a good game
The good thing is that South Africa is not in red like the Swiss, which confused me to no end in the last match.
Surprised to see SA using tactics similar to their opener versus Mexico.
SA already playing for pens
Their one foray into the Canada end should encourage them to attack more, Canada looked shaky at the back
Ahhhh, that was such a good touch outside the crescent. Too bad the next one rolled the ball away, instead of leading to a shot.
What a waste, chance to shoot or a diagonal into the box, did neither
Takes too damn long for a shot. Needs to take it quicker!
SA defender came in pretty hard, did well not to foul
SA really are poor…
The SA coach is a bit like the Belgium Hodgson.
Really surprised at his tactical choices. They seemed to do better when they played more aggressively and bounced back from that disaster against Mexico.
We need to be sharper. The ball is not sticking to the feet.
Oh come on, more power to the header! Urgh!
Jessica Alba looks bored sitting next to her toyboy.
To be fair they both looked bored.
Anyhow ….”Oh Canada”
