Canada can see a positive side to their elimination in the World Cup. In the 4-1 loss to Croatia, Alphonso Davies scored the first Canadian goal in a FIFA World Cup.
The Canadians finished as Concacaf leaders in World Cup qualifying, ahead of Mexico and the United States, teams that did not win either of their first two games in Qatar. In addition, stepping on the World Cup headquarters represented for the Canadians the end of 36 years of absence in a World Cup, since in 1986 they were eliminated in the first phase, they obtained the last place and did not score goals.
“Canada can be proud of the players because they put a true Canadian effort into the game. These are two games we’ve played in a World Cup where we’ve been able to compete for long stretches, so scoring our first goal was a moment we’ll always remember,” said team coach John Herdman.
Canada captain Atiba Hutchinson made his 100th international appearance, which made him the first national team player to reach the milestone.
“Going into the next game, we will dust ourselves off and refocus because there is a lot to play against a very good Moroccan team,” Herdman said.
