The Canadian team plays its second world championship after performing well in the CONCACAF Qualifiers, in which they finished top of Group B of the first round (they won all four of their matches). John Herdman’s side not only finished in first place, but also got there with stats of eight wins, four draws and only two losses (against Panama and Costa Rica).

Moreover, he scored 23 goals and conceded only seven. The draw didn’t go very well for them as they ended up in Group F with Belgium, Croatia and Morocco. Themselves know that they are perhaps the ones who have the most difficulty in moving on to the next round.

Canadian team honors

The Canadian team is playing its second World Cup in the country’s history at Qatar 2022 after 36 years of waiting, after what was done in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, where it did not exceed the group stage. Despite this, both in 1986 and now at Qatar 2022, he was the least beaten in his qualifying group.

Still, he never scored or scored in the groups he had to play. Reaching the knockout stages remains Canada’s unfinished business.

Crack: Alphonso Davies

At just 21 years old, Alphonse 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 he has to get up and down the strip in seconds.

The agility he has to easily get away from his rivals makes him a player who can also play winger/winger and even change groups. Another of the Canadian coach’s visible heads is Jonathan David, the Lille striker who finished with 9 goals and 5 assists in the CONCACAF qualifiers.

The lack of experience in a competition of this caliber can weigh heavily on the game. Despite the fact that the team comes from a good dynamic, the years without qualifying for a world tournament and having only done so once in its history leave it without bearings when it comes to evaluating and analyzing what it can do in a championship of such magnitude. .
