Qatar came back with the burden of being the "worst host in history" in 2022, but ended up setting a new shameful record—evolving from a three-game losing streak to being beaten six goals in a single match, plus two red cards, truly a textbook example of "losing both the game and face." Canada proved with a slaughter that: we're not just good at ice hockey, we can also turn opponents into mincemeat in soccer. Jonathan David scored a hat trick, Larin and Saliba each scored a goal, plus a self-inflicted own goal sponsored by Qatar's "friendly sponsorship," with six goals showcasing a variety of styles. After the match, Qatar players said: "We may have lost by six, but at least we made the whole world remember us—after all, not many in World Cup history have been sent off twice and still lost six goals." Canadian fans enthusiastically responded: "Thanks, Qatar, for showing us that the World Cup isn't just about soccer, but also arithmetic." This game was dubbed the peak showdown between "tycoons and demolition teams," with the Maple Leafs defeating the Oilers—after all, a 6-0 score is even sweeter than maple syrup. Qatar's head coach booked a flight back to Doha overnight, economy class, since the money for first class is better spent on buying a defender.
