Why is no one talking about the fact that Canada should have had a second penalty? Massive miss from the linesman and VAR - Canada were not offside because the ball was played back by a Belgian player. And then a clear foul was committed.

Former England midfielder on BBC OneBelgium are struggling, they can't put two passes together. Kevin De Bruyne is fuming. There are gaps everywhere and Canada are finding it really easy to get into those areas.

That's more like it from the team ranked second in the world.
A lightning move and Michy Batshuayi looks set to score when Kamal Miller produces a goal-saving challenge.
Roberto Martinez will want to see more of that from his side.

Former England midfielder on BBC OneJohn Herdman has got to be delighted, his team have started so well. There are a mix of emotions but I'm not sure he would have imagined his team dominating in this fashion. Belgium are really struggling with their pace. They look sluggish.

Roger: Oh, boy. Rule states the goalkeeper must be ON the goal line - Courtois was not. Minutes later, offside given against Canada on a Belgium backpass.

He'll find his feet, though.

Former England midfielder on BBC OneThat is not like Kevin de Bruyne, he's picked the wrong pass on that occasion. He has Youri Tielemans to his right who would have had a clear run at goal.

A rare attack for Belgium but Kevin de Bruyne gets it all wrong with his pass. That's very unlike De Bruyne but it sums up Belgium's performance so far.

Adren: The one thing that has been absolutely shocking in this otherwise wonderful World Cup has been penalty taking. Yesterday Robert Lewandowski threw his side's chances, and today it's no better from Davies.

BBC Sport chief football at Ahmad bin Ali StadiumWhat a shame for Canada. The penalty was reward for a really positive start but Alphonso Davies never looked too confident and a keeper of Thibaut Courtois's ability always had a chance with that.
Canada have been been really intense and Belgium are creaking at the back.

Belgium just haven't got started and are fortunate to still be on level terms. It's chance after chance for Canada.
Jonathan David has a decent attempt blocked before Junior Hoilett drills another effort wide.
What is going on in Belgium's defence?

Former England midfielder on BBC OnePoor penalty. No power, Davies has not got it in the corner. It was poorly taken, no confidence whatsoever. Courtois still has to do the job and he does it brilliantly.

Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt is a poor penalty, a really poor penalty.
We know good Thibaut Courtois is at penalty saves, but there is no venom, no direction. Nothing.
