First, traditional powers who feel they can go three-quarter speed until near the end, hoarding their resources for the big fights. Then there are the outsiders who put their foot on the floor from the get-go. Every once in a while, one of those sneaks nearly to the end. Morocco in 2022 and South Korea in 2002 are recent examples. Korea also had the advantage of playing at home. You’re starting to get the feeling that one of the hosts will make that sort of run. So far, all three have looked better than their most reasonable projections, but none have come further, faster than Canada.

VANCOUVER -- The Canadian men’s national team is on the board at the World Cup and played with a confidence like never before, but it wasn’t an overwhelmingly celebratory mood at the end of the 6-0 win in the afternoon at Vancouver’s BC Place.

It couldn’t just be a celebration, or even a sort of coronation. It couldn’t just be the high-water mark for a men’s program that had never won at a World Cup , and never advanced to knockout games, and now is almost assured to do so. Canada’s 6-0 demolition of Qatar at a sold-out BC Place Stadium was all of those things, of course. Canada can now win Group B with just a draw against Switzerland next week, after pushing their goal differential to the top of the group. This was a truly great day in Canadian men’s football: a massive fan march, a fantastic crowd, the prime minister in attendance, the nation watching.

Tilton - FIFA / FIFA / Getty Jonathan David scored a hat-trick as Canada destroyed nine-man Qatar 6-0 to record the nation's long-awaited first victory at a men's World Cup on Thursday. Qatar finished the game with nine men after having players sent off in either half of the one-sided affair at Vancouver Stadium. The second red card, shown to Assim Madibo, came after a tackle that left midfielder Ismael Kone with an apparent broken leg. Kone was taken to a local hospital after being stretchered off the pitch. Canada was leading 3-0 at the time after first-half goals from Cyle Larin and a brace from David, who ended his lengthy goal drought with a thunderous volley and then a close-range strike off a rebound. The Juventus forward - Canada's all-time leading scorer - then capped his historic hat-trick in stoppage time, and is now tied with Lionel Messi for the Golden Boot lead at the 2026 tournament. Nathan Saliba, who replaced Kone after his serious injury, scored a free-kick shortly after entering the contest and celebrated by ho…

The win was historic for Canada, as it marked the nation’s first-ever win at a World Cup . David entered the match with a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

That match saw him be subbed off, with many supporters voicing frustration on social media. Some supporters even suggested that head coach Jesse Marsch remove the Juventus striker from the starting-XI. Qatar was reduced to nine men after two players were sent off. Canada was not satisfied and kept pushing the pace offensively. That was evident with how David found the back of the net. With the hat trick, David became the first CONCACAF player to register a hat trick in a World Cup match s…
