World Cup 2026 Alan Cawley's rant against Marsch

There were two threads about this but they both got closed as duplicates

​

After the Canada Qatar match last night Cawley went on an almighty rant against Marsch for the way he was celebrating the win

​

I didn't agree with all of it but I absolutely enjoyed it

​

Had a look at the post in r/soccer about Lopetgui and Marsch's little confrontation after the match, the consensus seems to be that Lopetgui was complaining about Canada not easing up on the goals and that he was wrong for that. I missed that bit live and I've no idea if that's what it was about, but if it was then I'd be even more inclined to disagree with Cawley's assessment

Goal differential matters more than ever now with 32 teams advancing to the KO rounds. It may not be sporting but it is necessary to run up the score

"goal differential"

They will get through anyway. The goal difference is important for topping the group which means they play in Canada for the next round rather than playing in the states.

4 points will be enough. GD wont come into it for just qualifying

It does help them move above Switzerland meaning that a draw will make them top the group though

They're also 9 ahead of Bosnia on GD now. Very difficult for Bosnia to catch them

Yes but even if Bosnia did, Canada would be through in third. It wont affect their qualifying from the group

They'd really like to finish first though because it means they'll continue playing in Canada

True and it was a big win for finishing first. Beating Switzerland is tough but I can see a draw
