Canada returned to its first World Cup in 36 years with a chip on its shoulder. It was time to show the world it could hold its own on soccer’s biggest stage in Qatar.
According to Johnston, the biggest shock to the system was soaking up the pressure of playing on soccer’s biggest stage. The atmosphere alone was an eye-opening experience. During its final game of the World Cup, Canada came inches from drawing 2-2 and picking up its first-ever point, only for Atiba Hutchinson’s header“They were two inches away from scoring the first points for Canada. I think everyone thought that ball was gonna cross the line. We were willing it, but it didn't,” said Herdman on the chance.
“I'm proud. I'm proud of what these lads have shown here. You know, I think you're always gonna walk away from this, and it's going to sting. But there isn't a game that we're not proud of,” he said.
It's ok.. First goals for a Canadian men's team.. Wish they would have come up with at least a point in the standing... Canada and Qatar will be the only 2 teams in the tournament without a point!!!
The boys should be proud.
No. Not caring is the theme of most Canadians.
They didn’t stand a chance, back to the trainingfield boys
They played well for the first time being there in 30 years and represented Canada to perfection.
They exit Qatar, in a blaze of failure.
