The round of 16 starts on July 4th, and we've got John Brad and Martin to break all the games down.

0:13.5

We are going to start buckets.

0:15.3

I'm going to start with you, so you've got to get yourself together here.

0:17.9

We're going to start with Canada versus Morocco as we look at this

0:21.1

round of 16 preview. Morocco the favorite coming off their win versus Netherlands, of course,

0:25.9

Canada upending South Africa. Buckets, what's the play in this one? The play on this one is to

0:32.0

fade our wonderful neighbors up north. Canada did an amazing job getting to the round of 16.

0:37.3

This World Cup, they picked up their first ever World Cup win. So many positive things to talk about. But now you got to deal with Morocco. There's nothing positive to say about Canada when they're playing against Morocco. Morocco are leagues better than them. They will overwhelm them on attack. They will break down their backline.

1:17.4

And if they score three goals, that's okay too. You just don't want this to get out of hand

1:21.3

from a goal scoring standpoint.

1:23.6

Yeah, see, I'll start by apologizing to our Canadian viewers because I imagine we've got lots of

1:29.2

wonderful viewers in Canada.

1:30.7

I love Canada.

1:31.4

They've done so well.

1:32.5

They deserve a great deal of credit for reaching this stage.

1:35.3

But I think this is the end of the road for them, unfortunately.

1:38.2

Morocco are just too good, too strong defensively.

1:41.3

And unfortunately, I agree with buckets.
