• Comment I'm surprised by Rosguill and Onel5969 that there has been no coverage since 2021, given how frequently this game is still discussed. There was even significant coverage in Brazil only a few weeks ago, over 1-year after the match. There's also been many brief mentions recent in written media internationally, such as The Globe and Mail, The Sunday Times of London, and [https://www.the42.ie/canada-world-cup-preview-eoin-ocallaghan-5925015-Nov2022/ The42 in Irelend. Perhaps we can hear further thoughts from those two editors? Nfitz (talk) 03:32, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
