Second straight World Cup, first as host. Under Jesse Marsch — who as an American understands CONCACAF football far better than his predecessors — Canada have become a completely different team. Copa América 2024 semi-final was a statement. The star: Alphonso Davies, who moved from Bayern to Real Madrid in 2025 — Canada's greatest sporting export ever. Alongside him: Jonathan David (Juventus), Eustáquio (Porto). On home soil, in Group B with Bosnia, Qatar and Switzerland, advancing is even expected. Round of 16 is confirmation, a quarter-final a milestone for Canadian football. In a country where ice hockey is everything, that could be the tipping point where football truly breaks through nationally.
With Xhaka, Embolo, Sommer and Akanji, an experienced core. Round of 16 at every major tournament since 2014. At Euro 2024 even the quarter-final. In Group B with Canada, group top is tight; Round of 16 is the logical result.
