What time is Scotland playing today? The answer is not in this roundup, but Canada’s 6-0 win over Qatar in Vancouver is. Jonathan David scored three times late in second-half stoppage time, and Canada turned matchday eight into a rout.
David finished with the first, second, and third goals in the closing moments and left with the hat-trick ball after Canada beat Qatar 6-0. Jesse Marsch’s side never let the score drift after the break, and the margin matched the sharpest result in the day’s World Cup Predictions coverage.
Jonathan David closes it out
Cyle Larin also scored for Canada after being left out of the starting line-up against Bosnia and Herzegovina. That detail fit the pattern of the night: different pieces from the same squad kept landing in the right places, and the final score kept moving away from Qatar instead of narrowing.
David’s late surge mattered because it came in stoppage time, not early pressure. He did not need a long stretch to shape the result; he finished it with three quick goals and carried the ball home after the match.
Matchday eight kept breaking shape
The day had already produced a mix of scores before Canada finished the job. The Czech Republic beat South Africa after Michal Sadilek put the Czech Republic in front inside six minutes, then Teboho Mokoena equalized from the penalty spot late in the second half.
Switzerland also beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1, with Johan Manzambi scoring in the 74th minute and Granit Xhaka adding a penalty. Matchday eight was supposed to get easier to read after every team had played once, but it still produced surprises and goals across the board.
Canada and Qatar, then USMNT
For Canada, the result adds another heavy line to a tournament already moving fast, with a six-goal win standing out even in a day full of scores. For readers following the daily World Cup Predictions page, the live coverage now shifts to USMNT vs Australia while Canada’s performance stays on the board as one of the clearest results from matchday eight.
What time is Scotland playing today? That question still has no answer in this coverage, and the only firm answer on the page is the one Canada delivered in Vancouver: 6-0, with David ending the night in full control.
