Canada entered their first World Cup in 36 years. The last time they were on the big stage they lost all 3 matches by a final tally of 5-0. They had the daunting task of facing the number 2 team in the world, Belgium. The Canadians came out swinging as they controlled the game to start. They even almost took a lead, but Thibault Courtois saved Alphonso Davies' shot. A Michi Batshuayi goal just before half time gave Belgium a lead they would not relinquish. Belgium escape with 3 points. Canada, with the lost, still live to play another day.

Today's player of the day picked up an impressive 18 points en route to building a widening gap at the top of the talble. Congratulations
The top 4 players are starting to pull away as a whole. Tomorrow's matches see the first round of games in the group stage come to a close. It's a last chance to jockey for position before the World Cup starts to see some teams eliminated.
Sleep Well.
