To our Dunbar Lumber text inbox, 650-650. Let's go Canada. Absolutely throttling Qatar today. 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.

Chapter 2: 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%.
Chapter 3: 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.
Opportunity is sitting there for the road through the World Cup in Vancouver.
Yeah, which is just astonishing.
thinking of this as somebody who grew up in canada and as a sports fan who never through my formative sports years especially my teenage years saw anything of any consequence from canada outside of that one miraculous gold cup victory that they had out of nowhere not only did i never think we were going to see a world cup in canada i never thought we see canada win a match in the world cup i never thought we put six on a team six nothing and and who cares about the context right like
minnow country, double red card. Like, forget about the context. Like, it's... Mind-melding. Like, even Davey scoring the header four years ago was like, oh, my goodness. We're on the stage. Canada scored a goal at the World Cup. Like, what are we talking about here? It seems so foreign, the idea.

Chapter 4: What implications does this win have for Canada's tournament progress?
It really was. That touch to stop the ball on his hat trick goal, I mean, that ball came in with pace, and he stops it, turns, and absolutely rifles it past the Qatar keeper, and that's a type of high-end performance that's been missing from David.
Even going back this year, playing for Juve, he hasn't quite been at the level that we've seen, especially when he played in France when he was one of the top goal scorers in Europe. That form had just not been there, even playing for Canada the last little while. We're like, man, like, this guy's better than what he's shown, and the first match against Bosnia, he was really off it. Like,
I thought the right call was made when Jesse March took him out of the game and brought on Kyle Lahren and brought on some other, Ali Ahmed and those players and they created more opportunities and ultimately were able to tie the match. But to see him bounce back and to your point, show the resiliency he had and also the mental fortitude to not let this cascade down on you.
Like he rose to the challenge. And to me, that is, such a great sign. And I'm just so proud of Canada, but also super excited for Jonathan David because missing Ishmael Kone is big. Like he's one of Canada's, what, three best players?
Yeah.
And missing him is going to be devastating.
It's also like the... The role and like the depth in the position too. Yeah. That's, it's going to hurt. It is. It is going to hurt. Now, you saw the scenes when Saliba scores his goal, runs to the sideline, grabs the kit of Kone. You know, what kind of galvanizing moment is that going to be?
When Davies is going to come back, most likely for the Switzerland match. Big, obviously. Is the only reason he didn't play tonight, today, because of how chippy it got?
I would imagine so. According to the broadcast, there was a moment David's going over to Jesse Marsh, who we'll touch on in a second, too. Going over and was like, hey, can I get in here? But you could see, like, even after the injury and the second red card, and two, like, the player was so emotional. Like, I think he realized it's like, oh, man, this is... I've done something poor.

Chapter 5: How did Jonathan David perform during the match?
And another beer. Three beer. Yeah. Four beer. Oh, man. Unreal. Unreal. Call in if you just want to sing O Canada. Yeah, 604-280-0650.
Josh and Leon are concerned. They're like, we're not set up for the phone boards and national anthems and pride right now.
Yeah, unreal. Unreal scenes. Canada winning the match, and obviously our thoughts are with Ismail Kony, who had a devastating injury, which led to the second red card for Qatar. They were down two men, and that is why Canada was able to put six past their keeper. And, you know, this creates a lot of intrigue for that match coming up against Switzerland.
Obviously, there's not going to be any Ismail Kone. I'm really curious to see how Canada goes about that match. And because Alphonso Davies didn't play today, I think the hope and plan had been to get him into some action, get his fitness up, and then he would be an option to start against Switzerland.
So if you're thinking of also with Bombido, too... Again, another tactical or just clever decision by Jesse Marsh at halftime. Cornelius is on a yellow. You've already got the red card on Qatar. You're already up a couple of goals. Okay, now we can make this switch here, protect Cornelius on the yellow, and Bombido gets his moment to get some minutes in as well.
But as the game escalated, it's like, okay, well, look, this isn't worth it to try to chance it with. Davies, but right decision in that moment to get Bombido his minutes, get Cornelius out to be on the yellow as well.
Does Davies need to come off the bench first before he starts? Or can you just put him in? Like, he's missed some time. If he's ready to go, you put him in. Just start him? But then you don't have to play in the full 90. You can play him like 50, 60 minutes and get him off.
He's too good, too important.
To not start against Wichita?

Chapter 6: What challenges does Canada face without Ismail Kone?
It's like, hey, just go out there for eight games. Yeah, eight games. Just give us everything you have. If you get it to round one, okay, then we're into the next match. So, hey, for whoever steps in, need your best 90. Yeah, can you step out of your body for a few weeks?
That's it?
No, honestly. Honestly, yeah. Your best 90, and then we'll sort it out for July 2. Yeah. And then we'll sort it out for the next, just right now. All that is promised right now is seemingly the next two matches. Yeah. Because they are well on their way. Trying to pull up the third place standings here.
So who Canada would be potentially playing?
If it... Manifest, and it is Canada as Group B winners. They would be playing the third seed of EFGIJ. One of those. One of those nations. And how the rankings in third place go and all that.
Now, I think all those groups have only played one match so far. So you're seeing teams like Netherlands, Belgium. There's some who's who's.
If I write you who's in third place for each of those groups right now, it's Ecuador who... Going to be more formidable than I think people, you know. Yeah. I mean, listen, they have some world-class talent. Pacho Casito. Yeah. Another Chelsea reference. I'll let you do it this time. Netherlands are currently third place in Group F after that wicked match with Japan.
Belgium currently third place in Group G. Senegal in third place with no points in Group I. And Jordan in third place in Group J. Yeah.
It's, you know, you kind of hope, again, it's so early. Yeah. So things have to kind of still play out to see who, Canada still has to win the group first and we got to see who's going to be finishing there in third. But as we sit here and speak, those are the clubs that you're looking at potentially, countries that Canada could be matched up against.

Chapter 7: How did the crowd influence Canada's performance?
Right?
Like... Yeah. They're the history makers. Like, Kyle Lahren, too. Like, he's been around for a while.
Kyle Lahren, Johnston, Stacchio, Buchanan, like, Larea. Yeah.
stuck through some dark times and and pushed it forward through 2022 and now get this reward uh it is such an awesome moment and you know i hope the singer story like inspires others too and you know we talk about like these big events olympics world cup four nations whatever it is you know the big benefit of having success and having these great moments like today six nil it's
okay, what kid wants to go out there and be the next Kyle Lair, the next Jonathan David, the next Alphonso Davies, the next Nico Sigur? That ripple effect is huge.
Yeah, and there is real quality on this team. And for a long time, we looked at it and said, well, it's Alphonso Davies. Yeah, Jonathan Davies is a nice player. He has some other talented players, and we mentioned now Kone, but you kind of go through the list. They put six on Qatar without Alphonso Davies on the pitch. Mm-hmm. Yeah, pretty nice.
Pretty nice. Big props to Jonathan David for how quickly he turned some of those goals in. Like that Vivaldi on his first goal. Unbelievable to track that as it goes off a deflection and you're ready there and blast it past the keeper near post.
Yeah, I mean, he was on it. He struck the ball five times.
today like five clean two led to rebounds three went into the goal for himself pretty good like he was he was on it like this was as good a performance as I've seen from Jonathan David wearing a Canada jersey in a very long time very long time like it's absolutely sensational and now he is tied with Lionel Messi for the most goals in the tournament pretty good gold chart right now pretty good company is David Messi up top Laron with Kane and Mbappe at two
