      Watch Canada goalkeeper Milan Borjan make shocking howler after just 3 minutes to gift Morocco’s Hakim Ziyech a goal

      But fans may well be hoping their skipper is on Santa’s naughty list after he handed Hakim Ziyech an early gift.
      With just three minutes on the clock, Borjan came way out of his goal and attempted to play a short pass.
      But he kicked it straight to Ziyech – and the Chelsea star produced a fantastic first-time chip over the stranded goalie and into the net.
      Morocco, who knew beforehand that a draw or better will seal a spot in the last-16, have avoided defeat in their last five matches when scoring the opening goal in the World Cup.

      And Borjan’s disaster certainly got them off to a stunner start.
      Arsenal legend Martin Keown, who was covering the game for BBC, said: “Well I know Christmas isn’t far away but this really is a present.
      “Ziyech isn’t going to miss this.
      “Ziyech as if he’s at the local golf course, he just chips it into the green. The goalkeeper Borjan is in no man’s land.

      “It’s a beautiful finish. Perfect start for Morocco, exactly what you need.”
      However, it got even worse for Borjan and Canada just 21 minutes later after he was beaten at his near post.
      Youssef En-Nesyri received the ball and held off two defenders before drilling it past the 35-year-old Red Star Belgrade stopper.

      Denmark boss Hjulmand blames One Love armband controversy and World Cup human rights issues for group stage exit

      by

      DENMARK coach Kasper Hjulmand has blamed the One Love armband controversy and the human rights issues affecting his side for their tame World Cup exit.The Danes were among the European sides forced to back down from wearing the armband as Fifa threatened yellow cards and bans for skipper Simon Kjaer.

      Shirt manufacturers Hummel introduced a special Qatar 2022 kit with a faded logo, while sponsors asked for their branding to be taken off training kits and advertising hoardings.
      And while Hjulmand insisted it was “not an excuse” for his side’s disappointing campaign, he suggested it had adversely impacted the entire squad.
      Hjulmand said: “In relation to whether it has affected us, it would be strange to believe otherwise, at least to some extent. 
      “Whether it has meant anything on the pitch, I can’t say. 
      READ MORE ON THE WORLD CUP
      “But there has been a feeling that it has been unreasonable.”
      Defending his players, who have come under intense flak after going home with just one point from their dull opening draw with Tunisia, he added: “A picture has been drawn that whatever the hell they did, it was wrong. 
      “There was a demand from half of you in the media that the players should be activists. 
      “So there has been a sense of ‘what are we going to do?’ 
      Most read in Football
      “It is difficult to say what this has meant for the performances. It’s not an excuse, but it’s wrong to say it hasn’t had an impact.”
      Denmark reached the last four of Euro 2020 tapping into a huge sense of national pride and unity, made even stronger after Christian Eriksen’s collapse in the opening game against Finland.
      Eriksen’s return to the major stage was a huge part of the build-up but the Manchester United schemer was as underwhelming as the rest of his team-mates.
      Hjulmand conceded: “There is no doubt that the team has been affected. 
      “There are many ingredients in that pot. 
      “But we have seen a lack of power, coherence and energy.
      “It is worth having a good look at. But many things were missing.
      “It’s not an excuse, but sometimes it can be the little things and the margins that make the difference.

      “During the Euros, the players felt 100 per cent supported, and that, I think, helps, if you feel that you have people behind you. 
      “And during the Euros we were helped by a lot of things.” More

      Watch distraught Mexico fan repeatedly STAB and punch TV after World Cup 2022 exit

      The fan was crying with angerCredit: Twitter
      It was the first time since 1978 that Mexico were eliminated from the World Cup in the group stage.
      And one fan didn’t take the early exit well as he broke his TV with his fists.
      Donning a Mexico shirt, the distraught man punched his TV until it broke.
      Not satisfied with the job he had done, despite cracks showing as well as the screen going green, the fan grabbed a knife.
      READ MORE ON WORLD CUP
      The knife struck the TV ten times before before the tears started flowing.
      Reacting to the viral video, a Twitter user seized the opportunity to mock boxer Canelo Alvarez, who threatened Argentina and football legend Lionel Messi.
      Messi’s foot accidentally brushed a Mexico shirt on the dressing room floor after the 2-0 group win, leading to Canelo calling the footie ace out.
      Canelo has since apologised for his outburst.
