Why it matters for Canada's World Cup prep
As co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup, Canada faces pressure to perform well on home soil. The recent loss to Morocco highlights defensive vulnerabilities that need addressing before the tournament begins. Manager John Herdman will need to find solutions quickly.
