Before we get to Oliver real quickly, the one to watch brought to you by Limitless AV. It's back just in time for the World Cup. Look, in just a few hours time, you're going to get to see Luminium all in Spain. They kick off at 9 a.m. our time. against Cape Verde in what could be a very one-sided match. In the studio right now, we're watching highlights of the other very one-sided match of the tournament thus far. Germany, Curacao, which was briefly a 1-1 game, ended up 7-1 for Germany. I'm wondering if we could see the same scoreline or something similar from Spain and Cape Verde today.
Was Curacao just like, we scored, that's all that matters? What was the final score? It doesn't matter. We scored a goal.
Kinda.
It's awesome. They were very excited. Can you believe we're at the World Cup? Let alone scoring a goal against Germany?
in a very emotional moment, their manager, Dick Advocate, was in tears after watching them score because this is the smallest nation to ever compete in a World Cup. Then they got to the first hydration break and it got decidedly worse for Curacao after that. Did the Germans poison them? They were like, you know what, with goals. Yes, they poisoned them with goals. All right, let's go now to the Able Auctions hotline. Our next guest from One Soccer, Oliver Platt, joins us now on the Halford & Brough Show on Sportsnet 650. Good morning, Oliver. How are you?
Good morning, guys. I'm well. How are you?
We're good. Thanks for taking the time to do this. We do want to start and go all the way back to Friday's match, Canada-Bosnia. We'll ask you the question that we were kicking around earlier. How are you? Are you okay with the result that Canada got? I answered this with a hum and a ha and a long pause and a sigh before I eventually said it was fine. Curious to get your thoughts on what you thought of the result that Canada got, the 1-1 draw with Bosnia on Friday.
Yeah, probably quite similar. I think in one sense, in the more kind of emotional sense and maybe the momentum of the team, there was a real opportunity to win your opening game there. We saw that with the way Mexico and the United States were able to play and now are feeling great going into that second game and already essentially have one foot in the next round. So there was a little bit of a disappointment on that front. But I think in a more practical sense, if Canada can stay patient and stay calm here, there are potentially bigger games to come for them. And the most important thing was to get one point, knowing that you should have a game against Qatar that you're very favoured in. I know they got a point against Switzerland, but Canada, I think, should still be heavy favourites to win that one.
that gets you to your four points and through to the next round. So I think that's kind of, the format has changed how I feel a little bit. I think in the old format, I would have thought that's a bit of a missed opportunity. But now with that lower bar to progress to the next stage, like that's the game that I think can really be unmatched, particularly if it's in Vancouver, compared to anything we've seen before for the men's national team is a World Cup knockout match.
