Having drawn kudos for its bright, energetic performance in a 1-0 loss to No. 2 Belgium and scored against Croatia, the Canadians are now looking to get a result against Morocco.
Losing at the World Cup is getting old. And having to wait another four years for a chance to get in the win column is no fun.
According to Opta, Canada is the third team to lose its first five World Cup matches, joining Mexico and El Salvador . Coach John Herdman, who riled Croatia with his fiery words to his team in the wake of the Belgium loss, apparently was more restrained when he gathered the players for a post-game huddle Sunday night.
"It was a little different that the post-match huddle against Belgium," Johnston said with a smile. "There was no quotes that are going to go all over the world.""We've made a ton of people very proud back home and we need to continue to keep our head held high and play for them," said Johnston. "Because that's what this World Cup is about. It's about showing your country in the best light to the rest of the world.
There was more to celebrate Monday for the players as friends and family visited the Canadian training centre.
