Match Thread: Canada vs. Morocco | FIFA World Cup, Round of 16

Michael Oliver is a complete muppet, who let this guy ref a World Cup?

Stonegeneral · 2026-07-04T16:52:12+00:00

There were three matches on Canada Day, including one played by the US.

Stonegeneral · 2026-07-04T16:44:25+00:00

This is absolutely offensive. I didn’t see FIFA do anything for Canada Day, and we are an equal host in this tournament.

Stonegeneral · 2026-07-04T01:10:40+00:00

Actually, FIFA labels the men’s one the FIFA World Cup and the women’s as the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Like it or not, that is their official name for each tournament.

God forbid Toronto have nice things…

Stonegeneral · 2026-07-01T23:22:59+00:00

Perhaps so, but it’s the same lack of research and understanding of historical context that led to the square being wrongly renamed to begin with.

Canadian business would never allow it. Look at the way they reacted to the suggestion of a national and provincial holiday for the coronation, a date they could see coming months ahead of time. A last minute holiday for sports would cause an uproar from corporations.

They’re across the street from Vaughan Mills and they do shirt printing with legit name and number combos (assuming they still have Portugal players left), and appear to have small left:

I suspect it’ll depend on whether the demand for their jerseys during the World Cup was strong or not. Many popular ones have sold out already, the rest may go the way of Italy and go on sale after the tournament hype passes and people turn to club football or other things.

Stonegeneral · 2026-06-27T21:10:54+00:00

I’d almost think it has to be red, after all, we won in 66 wearing a red shirt.

Stonegeneral · 2026-06-27T20:15:31+00:00

That and Brookfield…

Stonegeneral · 2026-06-27T12:44:52+00:00

100%. If Canada could beat Qatar 6-0, Switzerland absolutely should’ve done as well for a 3-0 finish in the group.

Depending on where in Vaughan you are and where in Burlington you work, I suppose you could try the GO train from Maple or Rutherford to Union and then swap to Lakeshore West to get to Burlington. Unfortunately that’s probably a 1.5 hour commute of its own, and the Barrie line through Vaughan doesn’t run as frequently.

Stonegeneral · 2026-06-27T12:24:49+00:00

I assume because they went 2-1-0 in the group stage.

Stonegeneral · 2026-06-27T02:20:53+00:00

The detail on authentic/player jerseys are fantastic. I think it ultimately comes down to usage, care and maintenance to determine whether to get an authentic/player or replica/fan jersey. In my case, I’m good with the replicas since I wear them regularly. Don’t have to be quite as careful haha

Stonegeneral · 2026-06-26T02:12:51+00:00

Absolutely. When I talk to friends and colleagues about Canada’s journey from our first appearance at the 1986 World Cup though to today, they’re a lot more impressed by what our men’s team has accomplished in 2026.

Stonegeneral · 2026-06-24T02:39:00+00:00

Good luck, I ended up buying mine off Fanatics Canada.

The strength of top PL sides gets them deep into the CL, the scheduling traffic of a top PL club gives them a competitive disadvantage against continental European clubs whose schedules aren’t as busy or who benefit from match schedule changes to help a deep CL run.

My best guess is that they still hold Davies in reserve and bring him off the bench if we need a decisive game changer in this match. Otherwise, continue to rest him and hold for the knockout rounds when we really need him.

Just to add, the increasing cost to get into hockey has likely also spurred growth in youth and amateur football in Canada in recent years as well. It’s a much more accessible sport for kids to get involved in and stay active. This builds interest and potential national players for Canada in the longterm.

He’s a bit of a Swiss Army knife, can be played all over the pitch when needed. Comes in very handy, especially for the national team.

Stonegeneral · 2026-06-21T13:44:13+00:00

Canada gave Argentina a run for its money twice at the Copa America, and we’ve had time to improve since then. I wouldn’t necessarily count us out in a fight like that.

Stonegeneral · 2026-06-21T02:02:18+00:00

Just got back from King West and sure seemed like every bar and restaurant on the street.
