South Africa
Canada


Canada played better in the first half, but South Africa showed that they are able to have some decent passing combinations when they have the ball in the final third. Big chances as well from Canada where they really should’ve scored. Huge scrimmage near the end of the half, thought they scored there but somehow didnt lmao. Also probably shouldve had a penalty? Idk i think i wouldve given it. South Africa played really boring though just passing slowly in the back, crowd didn’t appreciate that either, which is fair those tickets arent worth the shit they showed. Canada much better but also not toooo much that happened, Canada had like three times as many touches in the box as RSA in the first half lmao. Much of the same in the second half, there was soooo much of RSA doing absolutely nothing, just keeping the ball at the goalie and passing to no one. Really annoying. Took until like the 62nd minute for the first thing to happen in the second half lmao. Just such a poor game from both sides, insane that this is a knockout game i cant lie. But a game this boring of course had to be decided by a late winner, bad clearance but very good goal from Eustáquio, deserved winner. Bombito wasn’t great, looked forward to him starting again after he struggled with a fractured fibula. Usually good player but quite some passes that failed so that was disappointing tbh. Up next for Canada is either Netherlands or Morocco so that will be a very tough game for Les Rouges. I dont wanna choose anyone for man of the match because no one was really good but Eustáquio will have to do. Glad my Canadian brothers and sisters are through 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

@ruby ❤️❤️
I still have like 15 group stage games to watch and I missed this case I thought it started at 11 somehow 😭💔
@scartinelli At least theres no other games tonight so you could rewatch it 😭😭
@carbonfiverr Yeah that’s true actually 😭
@scartinelli Do not listen to him. This match does not warrant watching. If you insist you may watch the highlights. Do not under any means watch a replay. It was bad.
@harris But then I can’t say I watched it ✌️😔✌️
@scartinelli I have not watched a great many cartel execution videos as I believe that there are some things which do not warrant watching. I would prefer watching a cartel execution video to a replay of Canada vs South Africa in the Round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup👍
@harris Oh damn! I guess I’ll watch one of the other matches instead
@scartinelli If you would like you are free to read my review on the match, you may feel as if you were watching it at Toronto FIFA fan fest yourself! I hope this is not the case, however, as I find FIFA fan fest to be a disgrace to the sport of football.
@harris @scartinelli dont listen to this silly boy its one of the best 1.5 star games EVER!!!!
