Episode Details

Richie Laryea, Canada’s seasoned and versatile fullback, is set to lead the defense at the 2026 World Cup at age 31—making him one of only two MLS defenders on the roster. With a stellar MLS career, including a comeback finalist nod in 2025 and stints with Orlando City and Toronto FC, he’s a proven force. Internationally, he’s Canada’s 11th-most capped player and a key figure in their 2022 World Cup and 2024 Copa América runs. Under coach Jesse Marsch, Laryea is expected to start as Canada kicks off Group B against Bosnia, Qatar, and Switzerland—aiming to rewrite their World Cup narrative in a historic 48-team tournament.
