Canada’s World Cup Journey Ends in Houston. What a Ride It Has Been. 🍁

By Annie Koshy

A 0-3 defeat to Morocco today in Houston in the Round of 16. A bridge too far, against one of the best teams in the world.

Five matches. Two wins. One draw. Two losses. Canada’s men scored eight goals and reached the Round of 16 of a home World Cup after 40 years of waiting for a single win.

Jesse Marsch built something real. Jonathan David announced himself to the world. Alphonso Davies showed what a player he has become. Stephen Eustáquio became a national hero in stoppage time in Los Angeles. This generation of Canadian footballers changed what this country believes is possible.

The Men’s World Cup goes on. Canada’s done us proud . 🍁⚽❤️🙏🏽
