The first ever victory for Canada at the World Cup and absolute domination. Qatar down two men because they're absolute sniveling, dirty players. And we put up six on them. I wish it was eight for Ismail Kony. I just want to jump on the field and fight after the game, too.
I'm fired up. Some of the players were already.
Yeah, I'm fired up. There was a bit of a scrum at the end of the game. Felt like a hockey game. It really did. I mean, you talked about the crash and bang goals, getting hard on the forecheck, mucking it up in the crease. And also, after the whistle.
Six goals, man.
Getting after it.
And it was a chippy one. Yeah. And there was almost like an intent there from Canada as well to just keep attacking because... Qatar were tackling from behind challenging from behind constantly led to obviously a very very serious and it's the only blemish on it on like such an awesome day like the scenes there I'm sure we're gonna see a lot of people in the streets here the the scenes as beautiful as the city and as beautiful as the result 6-0 is a massive they rush to the top of the table in group B
Yeah, so by goal differential, because Switzerland beat Bosnia-Herzegovina today 4-1. They got a late goal on a penalty to make it 4-1. And it created a situation where Canada needed to score a win by at least three to match Switzerland on top of the table, but also create a situation where if you tie against Switzerland, you can get the top spot in the group. And Canada now has the inside track. All they need is a single point against Switzerland. And listen, technically, Canada can still lose against Switzerland and Qatar or Bosnia could win.
What does Canada's victory over Qatar mean for the nation?
But given the goal differential being so favorable for Canada, this, for all intents and purposes... gets them into the knockout stage. The only way teams are going to pass them is if Canada loses by like, I don't know, six or seven against Switzerland and Bosnia wins by like eight. And it changes the goal differential, right? It's not impossible, but let's just say that the likelihood of that happening is 0.00001%.
How did Canada dominate Qatar in their match?
Are we dreaming here? Are we talking about things? Can we also combine another thing?
Yeah, let's do it, man. So it also provides the opportunity if they win Group B... the round of 32 match is here. At BC Place. Right. 1B is going to play a third place team and it's open for them. It's open for them. So, yeah, the match against Switzerland like really matters.
It really does. And I mean, to your point the other day, do they just play for the draw? And at the same time, Switzerland is going to need to win that match to be able to pass Canada. So Switzerland, as much as they want to get in and make sure that they, you know, are getting into the knockout stage, they have to win to win the group. So I'm not sure this is going to be a handshake agreement.
It still might be just because, you know, both teams advance here in that spot because, you know, the way it gets set up, then obviously Bosnia and Qatar can only get to four points of both Canada and Switzerland draw on the 24th. They're at five. you're both qualified, right? You don't have to do the, Hey, what seating are we in the third? Yeah. The best of the thirds. You don't do that. Do you chance it again? You play the matches, see what happens. But I suspected like come minute 65 in that match, both sides might kind of just do the side eye at each other and be like, let's just get through these next 25 minutes here. But yeah, This is kind of the dream scenario here of, hey, you're top of the table going into the final match in the group phase.
