Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 LiveThey're getting into good positions, they're making the runs in behind now, they're actually asking a different question. It's all been a bit samey samey from Belgium at times.

Red: Canada are going to lose all three games but they're one of the teams I've enjoyed watching the most. They'll be better for this experience when they co-host the World Cup in 4 years.

Image source, ReutersIt's been an interesting first half, started off like an absolute train, chances at both ends and Belgium not really managing to get a foothold in the game. It's slowed down somewhat, the intensity couldn't be kept up like that. I think Croatia will be the happier of the two teams.
Belgium caused one or two problems at times, had one or two opportunities but it's been slow at times and ponderous, with the urgency needed in the game they're gonna have to up it in the second half.

Ashley Williams
Former Wales captain on BBC TwoMorocco have to focus on what they're bringing to the party, it's never about the other team. They just came very professional to deal with it, high tempo.
They kind of got lucky with the first goal but they set their stall out from the first minute that they were going to boss this and demand the game.

The 100th goal of this World Cup.

HT: Canada 1-2 Morocco
Defeat would see Canada equal El Salvador's record of losing all of their first six games at the World Cup.
But John Herdman's side have hope following that Nayef Aguerd own-goal late in the first half.
It certainly gives Morocco something to think about.

Alan Shearer
Former England striker on BBC OneIt's been rubbish!
From both sides to be honest. Belgium have gone in trying to stop Croatia overloading the midfield but it's been what Belgium have been so far this tournament, no oomph up front.
There hasn't been one effort on target the whole game from either team.

Belgium's golden generation are 45 minutes away from being dumped out at the group stage.
And who had Morocco winning Group F? What a tournament they're having.
Morocco are 22nd in the world rankings. Belgium are second and Croatia 12th.

Former France international on BBC TwoIt is really entertaining. Morocco are really pushing forward and they got an early goal so it has been really exciting.

Joe: Roberto Martinez has got Belgium playing to the style he likes. Unfortunately that style is Everton.
Zahi: Roberto Martinez wasted Belgium’s golden generation. Why on earth did they keep him in the job let alone sign him to begin with.

People pretty much jumped off their seat at the whistle to head down into the concourse so I think that tells you everything.

The whistle goes. What a great first half that was! Really enjoyable.
Morocco are on course to reach the last 16 for just the second time in their history.

Right at the end of the half, Celtic's Josip Juranovic had a first-time shot from inside the box which flashed inches wide. But it's another goalless first 45 minutes at this World Cup.

Martin Keown
Former England defender on BBC TwoEn-Nesyri with another wonderful finish. I don't think there's much wrong with that. Was Aguerd really in the goalkeepers eyeline? That seems really unusual. The ref is saying play on.

Canada 1-2 Morocco
Youssef En-Nesyri thinks he has his second, and it's a wonderful finish, but the flag is up for offside! It looks as though it's been decided a player in front of the goalkeeper was interfering.
VAR upholds the on-field decision. On we go, with just a couple of minutes until the break.
