Canada moves one day closer to their first men’s World Cup match in 36 years, and with a generational challenge ahead of them, the players insist they won’t shy away.
John Herdman’s squad has been drawn into a tricky Group F and kickoff their tournament against Belgium on Wednesday before facing 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia and then Morocco.“[We have] maximum respect for Belgium, but also maximum respect for ourselves, for where we want to keep growing. We're not done since we got to this stage,” said defender Steven Vitoria during a press conference on Monday.
“But I think we have to also respect some of our players. We are big players as well coming to this tournament. This is the time to prove it to the world.” Ranked 41st in the world, Herdman’s men have the lowest ranking in their group, with Belgium ranked 2nd, Croatia 12th and Morocco 22nd.Vitoria, however, insists on looking ahead to the group stage, saying there are “no excuses” anymore. The biggest stage simply requires the best performances.
