    Listened to first half on radio 5 on way home and the female commentator seemed taken by him got plenty of mentions and was mentioned as a bright point in what was an arse kicking.

    Jewi did more than any of his team mates, which wasn't difficult.
    They never laid a glove on Spain, stopped watching after Jewi waa subbed. Men against boys, probably the worst team in the finals so far.
    I was pleased they took him off after an hour.

    Just caught up with the highlights of the day. So glad I've not bet much on this tournament, I'd have lost a fortune.

    One bet I did have on though was Alphonso Davies first scorer v Belgium :headbang:

    I don't think Canada have enough about them to cause an upset but Vertonghen and Alderweireld are old and slowing down so it wouldn't be a shock for David or Davies to have another chance or 2.

    Canada looking good against one of the tournament favourites and managed by a former Sunderland youth coach!

    There’s 3 or 4 of them playing at a very high level. Good side.

    Jonathan David is one of the best strikers in France and he's only 20. He'll be at an elite team by next summer.

    Belgium, with their average age of 37, are rocking here and are there for the taking. Canada might regret not taking their chances.
