As Team Canada gears up to play in its first World Cup match since 1986, some fans here in Toronto admit to finding themselves with some divided loyalties.
During Wednesday afternoon’s match again Canada, Belgians Matthias Dedobbeleer, Aurian Delacroix, and Quentin Vondel said they’ll be mostly cheering for their home country but will also be rooting for Canada.
Belgium, which is currently ranked second in men’s soccer, remains the only national team in the world to top the FIFA ranking without having won a World Cup or a continental trophy.Die-hard Maroccan soccer fan Fawzi Metoulilli, who has called Canada home for 22 years and is a Canadian citizen, couldn’t resist taking in some of the World Cup action in person.
“I just hope one of the teams goes to the second round. … If one of the two wins that’s good,” he said, admitting he might be cheering a little bit louder for Morocco. Currently, Morocco is ranked 22nd. The squad’s best showing was in 1986 when it made the round of 16. Like many, soccer lovers Tony Sokic will be up bright and early Wednesday morning to watch Croatia play against Morocco.
