For Canada, the World Cup is more about the soccer.
While the mood around the tournament in the United States is complicated by the conflict with Iran, travel bans, immigration policies and politics, Canada stands in contrast to its border neighbor.
“The game belongs to everyone. It doesn’t ask where you are from, only how you play, how you lead and how you bring people together,” Canada Soccer President Peter Augruso said. “It is a universal language, and here in Canada, it’s spoken every day in our schools, parks, community centers and stadiums from coast to coast to coast.”
