OLIVER HOLT: Think this couldn't happen in England?Consider it again... the Turkey powder-keg has exploded, and if players, coaches, and administrators begin to change their attitudes toward officials, it will happen here as well

OLIVER HOLT CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: A referee is sucker-punched by a club president at the end of a thrilling match in a major European football league, and if we are short-sighted, complacent, or stupid, we could risk treating it as a distant curiosity, dismiss it because it occurred in Turkey, and think, 'it could never happen here,'.

DOHA (GERRY COX): Michy Batshuayi added to Belgium's winning run at the Qatar World Cup by scoring the only goal in a narrow 1-0 victory over Canada on Wednesday. Roberto Martinez's team took the lead against the run of play after Batshuayi smashed the ball home from close range during a half dominated by their opponents.

The North American team can still be proud of their first-half appearance, but Belgium has work to do if they want to progress in the tournament.
