Canada Chase History on Home Soil — Without Their Captain
The first men's FIFA World Cup match ever played in Canada takes place Friday. Les Rouges host Bosnia-Herzegovina at Toronto Stadium in a historic Group B opener.
This is not just another game. Canada want their first ever World Cup win. The pressure is real.
Canada's Record Demands a Win
Canada are still looking for their first ever win in a men's FIFA World Cup match. They have lost all six of their previous World Cup games.
They lost 1-0 to France in 1986. Four years ago, Belgium beat them by that same scoreline in Qatar.
That record ends Friday — or it extends to seven defeats.
