With Morocco game left, Alphonso Davies says Canadian men not done yet at World Cup

Nov 29, 2022 | 9:43 AM

UMM ŞALĀL ‘ALĪ, Qatar — Alphonso Davies says Canada came to the World Cup to make history — and it isn’t done yet.

The 41st-ranked Canadians turned heads in a narrow 1-0 loss to No. 2 Belgium and made history by scoring a first-ever goal at the men’s soccer showcase before being schooled 4-1 by No. 12 Croatia.

Now they wrap up tournament play Thursday against No 22 Morocco.

Davies says he was happy to put his name in the history books with a highlight-reel header against Croatia. But he says the Canadian men want something out of their final game — and to show they belong on the world stage.

The Bayern Munich star has his parents in Qatar and says his mother teared up a little bit when he scored.
