Excitement and jubilation after Canada scored its first-ever goal at the Men's World Cup gave way to dismay after Croatia came back with a string of goals to end the team's hopes of reaching the tournament's knockout round.
"It feels about as good as any other [Canadian] sporting moment," he said, adding the goal may be remembered as a pivotal occasion for soccer in Canada. He said the feeling in the room was unforgettable to see people celebrating soccer in Toronto on such a large scale.
The Canadians will go home from Qatar after wrapping up tournament play Thursday against Morocco, where they will hope to leave on a winning note. The men did not score or secure a point in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Belgium, failing to convert a slew of chances despite shining in their first game at the international soccer showcase in 36 years.
Lauren Wharton, a soccer player at Toronto's Central Technical School, said it felt great to watch the game alongside only passionate Canadian fans. It looked like Davies was going to end Canada's World Cup scoring drought in its opener against Belgium Wednesday, but his penalty kick was saved by the Belgian goalkeeper.
