Canada, the Reds march on!<\/p>\n
Canada’s men’s team is through to the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 for the first time ever.<\/p>\n
Ahh, it feels so good to say that. Let me say it one more time: Canada’s men’s team is through to the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 for the first time ever.<\/p>\n
Chills. Actual chills.<\/p>\n
There were moments in the game where it felt like a Canadian goal was never going to come in normal time, especially after some ridiculous South African defensive plays and Ronwen Williams saves.<\/p>\n
But time seemed to slow down when the ball popped towards Stephen Eust\u00e1quio. The chest control, the bounce, the squeaky clean strike \u2014 in an instant, Canadian anxiety turned into jubilation heard from coast to coast to coast, across every province and territory.<\/p>\n
Canada’s 2026 World Cup has been defined by so many incredible moments, from Cyle Larin’s equalizer against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Toronto to Nathan Saliba dedicating his goal against Qatar to the injured Isma\u00ebl Kon\u00e9.<\/p>\n
This is another special moment to add to that growing collection. A generation-defining goal by Eust\u00e1quio that would’ve only been made more perfect if it happened on Canadian ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canada, the Reds march on!
