Canada’s World Cup dream imploded in a 3-0 loss to Morocco, a heartbreaking end to a tournament that promised to cement soccer’s place in the nation—maybe even above hockey. Despite a strong first half, controlling possession and creating chances, Canada couldn’t hold off Morocco’s late surge, which included two goals in stoppage time. The absence of star Alphonso Davies, sidelined by a hamstring injury and limited to just 15 minutes, was a massive blow—his health was prioritized over the game, but the void he left was glaring. Add to that the early exit of Ismaël Koné, broken leg and all, and Canada’s path to glory vanished. The “what ifs” now haunt the team and fans alike: what if Davies had played? What if they’d won their group? What if they’d stayed on home soil longer? It was a golden opportunity, and Canada let it slip away, leaving behind a bitter taste and a nation wondering what might have been.
