It appears that Alphonso Davies' goal against Croatia, the first for Canada at the men's World Cup, left a mark in more than the Canada Soccer record book.

"When I headed it down and I ran to the corner flag, I looked to my left and I just saw all my teammates running towards me," Davies said Tuesday. "Yeah, it was a great feeling. We've waited for this moment for a long time and it finally came and we were happy."

"After the first game they told me how proud they are of me and when I scored the goal, my mother teared up a bit, seeing her son coming from a refugee camp, coming to Canada and being able to score in the world's biggest stage," said Davies. Davies explained that he didn't speak after the Croatia game because, while happy with his goal, he didn't want to be front and centre after a loss.

"And every time I play the game, it's truly amazing. Each and every time I come to training, I'm living the dream and I'm happy about it." A kid perhaps, but one with a manager and his assistant watching from the back of the room. And a mega-bucks future.
