The leaning curve for Canada under new coach Jesse Marsch continues Sunday, with another potentially hard lesson waiting in the form of second-ranked France.

"What an opportunity," Marsch said Saturday."What a challenge but what a great opportunity. And I expect our players to be up for it." Marsch, who is rotating the captain's armband to start, confirmed that midfielder Stephen Eustaquio will lead the team out Sunday. Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies captained the side against the Dutch."I think we are a very young team but we are very very motivated," he said."We have a lot of hunger. This is an amazing opportunity to play a top, top team. We were wishing for games like this in the past couple of years.
Under pressure as the half ended, Canada managed to make it to the break without conceding. The breakthrough came in the 50th minute with more Dutch goals coming in the 57th, 63rd and 83rd minute. Marsch said fullback/wingback Richie Laryea, who has seen just 11 minutes of action since injuring his hamstring in Toronto FC's season opener Feb. 25, is available and will likely see some minutes Sunday. Defender Alistair Johnston will undergo a fitness test to confirm he has recovered from a knock from the Dutch game.
