Of the 32 countries going to the men's World Cup in about two months, 31 will be wearing new kits. Canada is the exception, and the players are clearly not ...
Herdman and his players are doing their bit to be as ready as they can be. While it was never likely to attract too much of a crowd, there were Canadian fans both here and in Europe who had been eager to attend. Qatar’s engine room was sputtering from the off, but Piette got through plenty of dirty work and allowed his partner to forage forward in those early waves. It looked as though Qatar was giving them space and time, but looks can be deceiving — Canada was the one creating both the room and the time to use it. Instead, according to the men’s team, their latest proposal sat unanswered at Canada Soccer HQ for over a month. Of the 32 countries going to Qatar, 31 will be wearing new kits for the occasion. Larin was a player desperate to take out some club frustrations while on duty for country and he soared to bury the opener. In Vienna, the manager rewarded Samuel Piette’s stellar club form and paired the duo in the middle. Canada’s patience in possession was so smooth and satisfying to the eye. They had Qatar under intense pressure from the get-go, and it was soon clear that the World Cup hosts were unlikely to be able to live with much that Canada threw at them. That the opener originated on the right side but ultimately came down the left side shouldn’t be a surprise; it’s where Canada have been most threatening for a while. But after a fraught post-qualification period highlighted by a chaotic international window in June, [this final pre-World Cup camp](https://www.thestar.com/sports/soccer/opinion/2022/09/18/after-the-high-of-world-cup-qualification-canadian-coach-john-herdman-breaks-down-the-monumental-challenge-ahead-its-a-sobering-process.html) kicked off on a very high note courtesy of Canada’s most deadly duo, Cyle Larin and Jonathan David.

Toronto FC defender Doneil Henry, who came down with a hamstring problem on the eve of camp, is with the team but not expected to see action. But again we have to temper that with the reality of the quality that they have and then we've got to put the work in these next three days." TFC teammate Jonathan Osorio remained at home to deal with a "neurological dysfunction" resulting from an elbow in the head in a mid-July MLS game. The team put the impasse behind it to play Curacao and Honduras in CONCACAF Nations League matches June 9 and 13. "For us it's a cup final playing against Uruguay, similar to playing against a Belgium or a Croatia (whom Canada will face in Group F at the World Cup). David doubled the lead in the 13th minute after diving Qatar goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb punched a Kamal Miller cross away, but only to a pair of waiting Canadians. 2 Belgium, used the flanks to attack the condensed Qatar defence. For the Canadians, the European camp is a first get-together since an ill-fated gathering in June in Vancouver when players refused to play a friendly against Panama due to a contract dispute. The Bayern Munich star was able to walk off, albeit gingerly, as he gave way to a substitute. Goals by Cyle Larin and Jonathan David in the opening 13 minutes dispelled that as the Canadian men cruised to a comfortable 2-0 win over the World Cup co-host. "We knew the first 20 minutes would be challenging, given how organized and disciplined Qatar are," said Canada coach John Herdman. Perhaps the only criticism might be that Canada, ranked 43rd in the world, could have scored more against No.
