How much longer will these games last?
Canada isn’t a winning country and it shows in the sports. Last Stanley cup 1993. lol.
How much did this cost taxpayers? What a complete joke.
I guess Marsch couldn’t cheat

As are seven of the Canadians.
Canada has far exceeded expectations. If it weren’t for them co-hosting and the tourney expanding the number of teams they would not have qualified.
Elbows Up Canada! Yet again Carney jinxed the team. Team USA looking far superior.
Canada sucks from government to sports and entertainment & everything in between!!
Those swiss players arent even from there

Team Canada suffered its first loss of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, falling 2-1 in its match against Switzerland as the home team sought to punch its ticket to the next round.
The result put Switzerland atop Group B with two wins and a draw. Canada finished second in the group and will face the Group A runner-up in a Round-of-32 match in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Switzerland will return to BC Place for its knockout match on July 2.
Ruben Vargas opened the scoring in the 46th minute and Johan Manzambi followed with a goal in the 57th.
Promise David replied for Canada in the 76th minute, just one minute after coming in off the bench for Tajon Buchanan.
Canada began the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina on June 12 before thumping Qatar 6-0 last Thursday for their first ever win in the men’s tournament.
Switzerland, currently 19th in FIFA’s official ranking, has made it to the tournament’s knockout round five times.
Canada and Switzerland have only ever faced each other once, with the Canadians taking the 3-1 win in the Swiss city of St. Gallen in May 2002.
The Swiss drew 1-1 against Qatar on June 13 and beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1 on June 18, scoring the last two goals in the final 20 minutes of play. Switzerland also went undefeated in European qualifying to get to the World Cup.
