The Canadian team plays its second world championship after putting in a strong performance in the CONCACAF Qualifiers, in which they finished top of Group B in the first round (they won all four of their matches). John Herdman's team not only finished in first position, but they also did so with statistics of eight wins, four draws and only two defeats (against Panama and Costa Rica).
Additionally, he scored 23 goals and conceded only seven. The draw was not very favorable to them as they were placed in Group F with Belgium, Croatia and Morocco. They themselves know that it is perhaps they who have the most difficulty moving on to the next round.

Canadian National Team Honors
The Canadian team is playing its second World Cup in the country's history in Qatar 2022 after a 36-year wait, following what happened at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, in which it did not did not advance beyond the group stage. Despite this, both in 1986 and now at Qatar 2022, he has been the least beaten in his qualifying group.
However, he never scored or scored in the groups he played in. Reaching the round of 16 remains an unfinished task for Canada.
The star: Alphonso Davies
At only 21 years old, Alphonso Davies He is the main figure of the Rogues, in addition to being considered one of the best defenders in the world. The Bayern left-back stands out for his versatility and the speed with which he gets up and down the wing in just a matter of seconds.
The agility he has to easily get away from his rivals makes him a player who can also play as a winger/winger and even change wingers. Another visible face of the Canadian coach is Jonathan David, a Lille striker who finished with 9 goals and 5 assists in the CONCACAF rankings.
Lack of experience in a competition of this caliber can weigh heavily when playing. Although the team has good momentum, the years without qualifying for a world tournament and having only done so once in its history leaves it without credentials when it comes to evaluating and analyzing what she can do in a championship of this magnitude.
