Canada 1.34 to qualify looks a bit short. I expect a tight, low-scoring game.

Two poor teams, both will be nervous, neither team capable of breaking down a decent set up. I think Unders at 7.4 + was a good price. I got 11.5 for 0-0, more than happy with that.

South Africa have surprised me getting this far, they've rode their luck. Canada should beat them, but Marsh is a David Brent type who doesn't understand football. S Africa might be capable of frustrating them for long periods. Let's see.

It's like the good ole days, when a simple bad word about Arsenal would set him off!...  |

mes, learn to chill a little. It'll do you good.

It's not hard to set him off. All I did was started a thread.

Awful panel on ITV. Has Wright brought his entire attention-seeking family with him? Carney looks like worzel Gummidge. And how did Ferguson get into the US with a criminal record? Thought they were cracking down on Visa rules.

Are Canada really any better than South Africa?
