Episode Details

Canada kicks off its World Cup prep with a high-stakes friendly against Uzbekistan in Edmonton, testing key decisions ahead of their June 12 opener. Under coach Jesse Marsch, the team’s on an upward swing, but questions remain: Who starts in goal? How to best deploy David and Eustáquio? And can Davies and Bombito handle the pressure? Meanwhile, Uzbekistan, making their World Cup debut under legend Fabio Cannavaro, brings homegrown talent with international flair. Both teams face daunting groups — Canada against Bosnia, Switzerland, and Qatar; Uzbekistan against Colombia, DR Congo, and Portugal. This match isn’t just a tune-up — it’s a crucial step toward Canada’s home World Cup ambitions.
