Not sure they're fussed about that, 4 points pretty much guaranteed they're through. 

They have to go for it surely. Then a draw against Switzerland will put them through as group winners.

I think it does guarantee it.

[Patrick Bateman]

Guess I'm not off to bed yet then ... this is decent

Oh yeah true, can't have both Bosnia and Qatar getting 3 points final game.

Still technically possible to finish 4th in this group with 4 points although would take an extremely unlikely swing in GD for that to be Canada.

Hope this works over there:

Kone broken his leg. Not good for Canada.

[Jimmy_D]

Oh bloody hell. Ouch.

[John Boy Saint]

What a shame - he’s been good.

[SNSUN]

Qatar player that fouled him red carded. Qatar down to 9. But this is more about Kone. 

[Patrick Bateman]

This "no reply" crap, I just rewound the TV. So annoying, just blody show the incident. 

[SNSUN]

Just watched the replay, wish I hadn't.  No malice in the challenge but his leg was all wonky. 

[SNSUN]

Just a case of how many Canada will get now. Qatar will just defend defend defend now.

[Saint_clark]

Great freekick.

[SNSUN]

The sub Saliba scores with a free kick. Thats 4. 

[Jimmy_D]

Perfect placement on that free kick

[SNSUN]

Get in the box Cyle!

Was a great free kick but a dodgy wall, mind you they don't have the players! 

[SNSUN]

If Canada don't score 6 or 7 here I'd be very surprised. I don't want Cyle to get subbed now! 

[Jimmy_D]

Canada going for it!

[SNSUN]

Canada bringing on more forwards! 

[SNSUN]

18 minutes left but surely about 10 mins injury time if not more.

[SNSUN]

Thats 5! Own goal

[SNSUN]

Enjoying this.

[SNSUN]

Larin stays on, all subs made. 

[SNSUN]

David hattrick. It's 6. 

[John Boy Saint]

Think the board is broken only showing 9 

Hatrick for David

[SNSUN]

Good game that. Larin had a couple of half chances but it got to the point where Qatar had no option but to go ultra defensive and became difficult to break down. Still, a goal is good for him. He has to outscore David now! He'll be hungry. 

Sad for the ex-Watford player Kone though. Decent player. 

I have enough in the tank for Mexico vs South Korea. 

[Cuddles]

All got a bit feisty at the end there 👀

Saddo here rewound “the tape” should have taken your word for it - heard it go 🤢

No wonder the closest Qatari stopped, looked, not knowing what to do.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

They cut away from the not unsurprising scuffle at the end.

Horrible for Kone. The player who did it, looked gutted. But it was a rubbish challenge, and he'd was overly psyched up and shouty all game.

Larin will be disappointed not to have got more. Canada had so many options, but picked other options a lot, rather than decent delivery to his head.

[Southner]

11 goals this evening. Not too shabby.

Probably famous last words as it will probably end up nil nil now I'm saying this, but I expect a few goals in the Mexico vs Korea game.

Jinxed it. Awful so far
