All this time wasting just winds the up the fans and build suspense.

Is the Christian mass a Copa thing? Never seen that at a major North American sporting event 

[InglewoodJack]

We don’t get a jaunty intro to O Canada? Just Argentina?

[narduch]

Even Marsch singing O Canada

What's the deal with the kids with the players?  Fifa is one of the dirtiest, graftiest organizations there is and they use kids, for what?  It always makes me cringe.

I'm a believer but that deal about Jesus was out of place.  A Copa tradition perhaps?

[Ally McCoist]

Just remember, Davies has never lost a game against Messi. Davies just won the coin toss.

We should have had Lukas MacNaughton pull a Tonya Harding on Messi in the tunnel.  

I still laugh pretty hard at people calling that a red lol

[vancanman]

I get it now, the referee is Jesus McSomething.

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Canada : Where did all the religion come from?

Also Canada ...God keep our land....

[Hawkguy]

We really need to steal some CBs from some other country lol

[Hawkguy]

Facing Mbappe and then Messi is just CRAZY considering where this team was 10 years ago lol

Is the main camera in a helicopter directly above the pitch?

Dunno.  But i like the camera angles in this game.    Unlike some MLS matches in places like Saputo stadium.  where its always terrible
