Because while you are confused with how completely separate things can be unrelated to each other, I'm confused about why people have to make things more difficult than it is by bringing up the unrelated.

FIFA allows players to choose which national team they play for based on where they were born, where their parents/grand parents are from, and if they have been in a country for 5+ years (presumably playing for youth teams and training in that country and possibly even having citizenship by now).

So if the question is why is X player allowed to play for Y team?... that is your answer. Pretty simple, direct, and not confusing.

Olympians are also allowed to represent a country they weren't born in. The athlete just has to have citizenship for the country they choose to represent and they can freely choose every Olympics, like the Canadian bobsledder who chose to represent the USA this last winter Olympics after she got her citizenship and there was some kind of sexual harassment issue with the Canadian team.

Missed too many chances at one end and bites you in the ass

Canada completely dominated that half against Belgium. Doesn't mean a damn thing in soccer if you can't finish though.

C'mon Canada

Missing that penalty hurt but Buchanan needs to do better on his chances , should have potential Loy had another one as well it playing high press you always risk a counter .

Still not over canadas speed causing them issues

Canada should have had at least one more penalty called for them as well.

Can't rely on the refs in a FIFA World Cup, though.

Womble 11-23-2022 02:11 PM

This is the same ref that blew up for full time at the 83 minute mark in the African Cup of Nations. No wonder he's ****ing clueless.

My Peacock feed is in Spanish.

What am I doing wrong??

CanadaKC 11-23-2022 02:38 PM

Canada hasn’t shown they can finish but dam! They sure have shown they can compete against the #2 team in the world! Mettle and heart. And Alphonso Davies is clearly hurt

Monticore 11-23-2022 02:40 PM

Nice save , shit

You never changed it back after pretending to be in Belize.

I blame Drake for the missed PK. So far Belgium is my favorite, i am sure they gonna be in a final this year.

Yup.

Our squad is worried about looking woke.
