Holy penalty kicks, Batman! Canada is in the World Cup for the first time since 1986.
While our women's team are top ranked and have both World Cup and Olympic medals, our men have a history of being so-so in soccer. But this year is different.
With Canada in Group F are Belgium, Croatia, and Morocco. I'm thinking Croatia will be the tough ones. I don't recall Belgium being as strong in footie as their Dutch and German neighbours but maybe that's just because being next door to two of the world's great soccer powers makes them pale by comparison no matter how good they are. Morocco don't have much history that I know of but I will do some research.
Will be bumping this thread come Fall when the tournament gets under way in Qatar. I didn't pay much attention to the 2018 tournament but this one has some renewed appeal. And if Canada makes it out of the first round?? Could be interesting.
