Goal Can - a - da!

73/104ths of the World Cup

  

 

The 2026 World Cup has arguably been a broken one when it comes the logic. Canada as a co-host made it out of the Group Stage of a World Cup for the first time in their history. They became the first hosting nation to play a World Cup match outside of its borders. They had the honor of facing South Africa who also made their first appearance beyond the Group Stage of a World Cup. While South Africa had the edge in possession of the ball, Canada had the edge in attempts on goal. It was Stephen Eustaquio who in the 2nd minute of stoppage time in the 2nd half who would break the tie. The late stage goal would be enough to see Canada advance to the Round of 16. They await the winner of Netherlands and Morocco.

 

 

One contestant picked South Africa and Canada to face off in this match. No one correctly picked a final scoreline of 0-1. With a total of 40 points on the day, and jumping from 8th place to 7th, today's Player of the Day is Fortuitous.

 

Tomorrow 3 more matches will be played. 3 teams will advance. 3 teams will go home. That's 75 possible points if you predicted all 3 of tomorrow's winners. Good Luck to all.
