Canada stars
The two unquestioned stars of the Canadian national team are Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, who have taken this team from CONCACAF region hopeful to World Cup competitor. Davies plays left-back at his club Bayern Munich, but he is often deployed in a more advanced role for the national team, either at wing-back alongside a back-three or as an out-and-out winger. Still, he can play left-back when needed, providing some defensive acumen along with his world-class attacking play from wide a...
Canada strengths
There are a surprising number of strengths for a Pot 4 team at the World Cup that should give pause to other Group F participants. In addition to a steady veteran goalkeeping presence in Red Star Belgrade's Milan Borjan, the midfield is incredibly deep.

There are only three players on the projected roster playing in a Big Five European league, and only a handful with Champions League experience. As a result, this team know...
There are actually two possible starting lineups that Herdman can select from, having fostered exceptional tactical flexibility from his group. He has deployed a 3-5-2 on occasion, with Alistair Johnstonsliding inside as a third center-back, while also using a more traditional 4-2-3-1 to fit all his attackers in the same lineup. Herdman opted for t...
While Canada are a strong team, the nation is still building a base of top-class football players, and therefore the established player pool is considerably thinner than some other teams. There are some injuries to consider heading into the World Cup. Defenders Scott Kennedy and Doneil Henry, along with goalkeeper Maxime Crepeaucruelly suffered inj...
