Canada has a theme — and a social media hashtag, of course — for Qatar: We Can.
“Canada is a football nation, man. We better believe it,” coach John Herdman said when the team secured its berth. “And we’re going to keep coming. We’ve only gotten started.”
Canada has since come down from the qualifying high. The Canadians have played in four matches, winning two and losing two. The most recent game was a 2-0 loss to Uruguay in Slovakia in late September. Herdman clearly understands that Canada can't simply be satisfied with returning to the World Cup after a long drought. The team has to win.“This is what Canada’s got to learn, you’re not going to get a gift. You've got to earn it," Herdman said. "And our whole team has to work to make sure those chances we put away.”Canada is awaiting word on the status of captain Atiba Hutchison, who missed the September friendlies with an injury.
