A STOPPAGE TIME WINNER sends Canada to the Round of 16 as they defeat South Africa 1-0.

 

[tiger_one]

South Africa started the World Cup with defeat to Mexico, a game in which they had two players sent off.
They still defied the odds and reached the knockout stages for the first time in their history.
Only for their journey to end by Canada scoring in the 92nd minute....

In celebration of Canada's win today, I'm making Prawn Poutine tonight -

Vancouver spot prawn poutine

In this luxurious riff on Canada's comfort-food classic, poutine (hot chips and gravy), gravy is replaced with a creamy velouté sauce – like bechamel, but uses stock for a lighter result – which lets the fresh seafood shine.

That’s pretty cool, only way we will get better is with these match ups against high quality teams

Doubt Brazil will play full strength team but we will see

Great effort by the Japanese, beaten at the death. Brazil a contender but don’t think they can win this time !

 

[Halbrowne61]

Paraguay beat Germany on penalties

Massive upset, but makes the Socceroos form look ok, hopefully we can take that into our match on Saturday.
These sort of results are what the World Cup is all about. Bravo Paraguay !

 

[Halbrowne61]

And the shocks just keep on coming, Morocco beats the Netherlands on penalties just as they did to Spain in 22.
What a day, Germany and the Netherlands both eliminated, whilst Brazil sneaks in. A possible change in world order.
My bet on the Netherlands at 19.0 now gone.
I’ll shift to Portugal now because I saw an article on Instagram that says they are the team to win( it seems it’s all fixed - 🤣🤣)

I am happy.to be on the frogs at $5.50
a little save on Argentina in the soft part of the draw at $5

Got my sneaky $10 on Mexico for tomorrow.

Now L, have you got the Tagine with Couscous ready to celebrate Morocco and Vori Vori for Paraguay !

 

[Speed2burn]

Netherlands were my team in a tipping comp at work … damnit.

I wouldn’t call Morocco an upset, but the Dutch probably should have put them away. I think Canada are canon fodder in the next game

Hey Hal, we still have prawns left over from the poutine, so I'll make a quick prawn, capers, sun-dried tomato, and ricotta fettuccine tonight.

I'm shocked by those two results. Who would have thought both Germany and the Netherlands would be out so early...

Damn! I didn't even cook my favourite pork schnitzel with butter potatoes, red cabbage, mushroom and onion sauce recipe.

Pity about the pork L but the prawn fettuccine sounds tasty.
Yes, a crazy day of World Cup football, but bloody exciting !

I bet over in Germany there're a few Sauerkrauts at the moment.

The Netherlands were just playing for a draw in extra time. You're gambling going to a penalty shootout and it cost them.
