It was a similar story in sports bars across the city, with the beer flowing freely and Canadian pride on full display as Canadian soccer got its day again on the world’s biggest stage. Frances Shields and her friend Debbie Kirwan, watching the game at the Hometown Sports Grill in Ottawa, show their dejection after Belgium scores in the first half Wednesday.That delay was nothing for Hopkins, 26, who had been waiting his whole life for Wednesday’s experience. Canada’s last appearance on soccer’s biggest stage came way back in 1986.
The anticipation grew as game time approached. An hour before it got underway, the Glebe Central Pub had hit capacity limits, forced to turn fans away. Once the game started and Canada put relentless pressure on the Belgian defence, it was more than even the most optimistic of Canadian fans could have expected.
