Consideration with regard to the @AlphonsoDavies limited playing time.
He arrived at the World Cup with an existing injury, therefore he is not covered under the FIFA Club Protection Program, insurance payout to clubs whose players are injured on international duty 1/2
Alphonso Davies speaks with OneSoccer's Kristian Jack about why he missed CanMNT π¨π¦ vs. Morocco π²π¦
ποΈ "Jesse asked if I feel 100%... and I told him no, to be honest.
"I don't want to be a burden on the team or on the pitch not giving my all... but it's an injury where you can't take any risk."
You can use a lot of words to describe Canadaβs World Cup run, and most of them should be positive.
Canada getting out of the group stage, complete with a barnstorming performance against Qatar, led an entire nation still curious about the sport to buy into this teamβs possibilities.
And then, with their first-ever knockout round win against South Africa, Canada showed they deserve to be classified in a different tier of international soccer.
Yet Morocco is in a different tier, and the Canadian public need to understand that.
In the end, it was the cunning game management that Canada lacked, as they have for some time now. That could come with experience.
Considering where Canada finished at the 2022 World Cup β 31st of 32 teams β to where they finished on Saturday, this World Cup has to be viewed as a success for Canada.
