Anything can happen, but neither scare me

As an official, this looked like a penalty to me. The only way I can see it not being called is that FIFA told the referees to ignore what they determine to be “soft” fouls in order to keep games flowing. For the most part, that strategy has worked; it clearly didn’t in this case.

I could see where the VAR team felt that the Ghanian was going down from the initial contact right before the defender's leg made contact and decided they weren't rewarding that, but that's being extremely generous


This would be one other possible explanation. As a referee, I don’t reward players on the way off their feet prior to contact with free kicks, even if the contact was legitimately a foul.

Too many injuries for Canada. Thanks to a 50-60 game club season in Europe and some Qatari ankle-breakers!

Canada is going to have to leave Canada now for the first knockout match because they won't win the group

If somehow Bosnia makes up the -6 GD, Canada IS our R32 opponent

I hope our fans boo the frick out of Canada's anthem in the R32 match, regardless of who they play.

Nothing would make me more proud than to watch Jesse cry on the pitch after a big arse L.

Canada don't get to play in Canada no more if they don't find an equalizer
