(Photo courtesy of Canada Soccer)<\/p>\n<p>VANCOUVER \u2013 This was one for the history books.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Winless in its previous seven games since making its World Cup debut in 1986, the Canadian men\u2019s team finally earned its first-ever victory in the hallowed competition with an emphatic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tfcrepublic.ca\/june-18-canada-world-cup-qatar\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">6-0 decision<\/a> over Qatar before a rapturous crowd of 52,497 at BC Place on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan David registered a hat trick, and Cyle Larin and Nathan Saliba also scored for Canada in a dominant display against Qatar, which had two players red-carded in the 33rd and 54th minutes and scored an own goal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, a sombre cloud hangs over the team, leading to muted Canadian celebrations after this historic win.\u00a0Qatar\u2019s second red card came when Assim Madibo committed a late tackle from behind on Isma\u00ebl Kon\u00e9 early in the second half that sent the midfielder back to the locker room on a stretcher with a suspected broken leg. It\u2019s expected that Kon\u00e9, one of Canada\u2019s most influential players, will be ruled out for the rest of the World Cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the latest TFC Republic video blog, we discuss what stood out the most about Canada&#8217;s performance against Qatar.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video below:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>                This post is for paying subscribers only<br \/>\n            <a class=\"gh-btn\" data-portal=\"signup\" href=\"#\/portal\/signup\" style=\"color:#b00707\">Subscribe now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Already have an account? <a data-portal=\"signin\" href=\"#\/portal\/signin\">Sign in<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CanMNT In the latest TFC Republic video blog, we break down Canada&#8217;s performance in its historic World Cup&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":747578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-747577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=747577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/747578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=747577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=747577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=747577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
