World Cup group games. Rd 1 match threads

After half an hour it looks like Canada haven’t got enough quality to play the way they want to. With B&H already a goal up, I can’t see Canada getting much from this if they don’t make changes.

It's a curious game as Canada is doing all the attacking but are pretty poor up front and Bosnia look pretty inert themselves.

We've been beaten by both these but you have to say they are both shite!

Technically we drew with B&H. And Canada beat us in a friendly. We’ve wasted a big opportunity here.

I’m watching it on Canadian TV. They’ve shown Ryan Reynolds and mentioned Wrexham 4 or 5 times already now.

Ok blame my web connect here in Budapest making my way back from Bucharest but the message bares repeating..
If we're pissed off by what's on show I can imagine what the average Italian is thinking!

Not always the best quality but enjoyable nonetheless
