Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

That's a must-win now.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Yeah, but this game as well, it's the first point they've ever achieved at a World Cup.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

So sort of that monkey's off the back or whatever.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

But I think getting that goal and not losing the game, you know, 11 minutes to go, I would say you've got to spin that into a positive because I think Canada, this will be a learning curve and they'll be better, I would imagine, against Qatar.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

I'd very much fancy them to beat Qatar.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

I haven't checked where Qatar are in the rankings though.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Well, that's an oversight by you.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

So if they're in the top 10, forgive me.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

But do you not think, though, Luke, if you're Canadian, you have to spin that into a positive and say they showed character because they didn't lose the game?

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

He got the ball first.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Is that a cheat if you're going to lamp someone?

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

As many as you like.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Yeah, I get what you're saying.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

I think that they would surely invoke the part of the law which says, was it unavoidable contact?

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Has he done something dangerous?

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

No, because the ball was there to be won and he's won it very cleanly.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

And the way the players jumped, it's just an unfortunate one.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

I get what you're saying, though.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

And I think it was quickly overlooked by commentators and stuff, so I understand what you're saying.

Football Ramble
The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Right, go on.
