Belgium is currently ranked No.2 FIFA, and No.1 in Europe. The team has achieved an unbeaten record of 6 wins and 2 draws in the previous European zone World Cup qualifiers.
Belgium has a strong squad. Rows of world-class players took part in the Belgian squad coached by Roberto Martínez. Say there is Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) who plays in midfield, then there is Eden Hazard (Real Madrid), and of course Romelu Lukaku (Inter Milan).
In a recent interview, Belgium coach, Martinez said that Hazard will start today against Canada, and serve as captain. The defeat to Egypt in the last match seemed to have hit the players mentally enough.
Meanwhile, Canada is currently ranked 41st in the world, and 4th in Central and North America. The Canadian team was led by British coach Hedman. The team won first place in the Central and North American division in the World Cup qualifiers.
The Canucks have Lille’s main striker Jonathan David, and Bayern Munich’s main player Alfonso Davies. Both are still 22 years old, but they are very famous for challenging. Overall, the Canadian squad is understaffed and has little experience against European teams.
However, Canada can return to the World Cup after 36 years of vacuum, of course it has qualified strength. One of the reasons that allowed Canada to qualify as No. 1 in North America is the vigorous development of youth training and the rise of professional leagues.
Alfonso Davis’ comeback has the whole team very excited, even head coach Hedman said he will try how strong Belgium is. But Belgium has a long experience in the World Cup, plus a number of players who usually play at the elite level of European football clubs.
