what the heck is happening to Canada, did they just peak in qualifying vs trash CONCACAF teams?

Pretty easy to look good in CONCACAF qualifying when you get to play Mexico twice.

everyone knows population size is the determining factor, it's why china and india take turns winning every tournament

Little known fact: it's actually "World Cup Champion Besides China/India Because They'd Obviously Win Based on Population and Everyone Knows This". They just shortened it because it was making the press releases way too long.

congratulations on canada's new all time leading goal scorer (tied): morocco

It appears that there is one other country that also has a Owen Goal as a co-leading scorer: Panama (2018: Felipe Baloy vs. England, Tunisia OG).

CONCACAF knows how to do it :smug:

Which game to watch now?

I'd lean towards GER-CRC. Desperate Germans vs. CONCACAF shithousery should be really fun.

That said, I won't be able to watch until the second half, so the scores might dictate me watching JPN-ESP instead.

Is it still in if part of it is on the line? And how does that work for goal line checks?

Entirety of the ball has to be over the line. Based on above tweet, ball stayed in by a mm or two.

Aye that's what I thought. This the same for goalline checks? I.e. if any part of the ball is still on the goalline it isn't a goal?

Correct.

gently caress I'm so mad we lose the drama of simultaneous group stage final games in the next WC. Tomorrow being the last time we get it is going to pretty melancholy. 16 groups of 3 with the top 2 advancing is going to suck so bad.

There's talk that they'll go to 12x4 instead of 16x3.
