Canada players say team belief is strong ahead of World Cup opener against Belgium

"We don't hope no more, we believe," veteran midfielder Jonathan Osorio told reporters after training Sunday. 'And we're very confident in ourselves."

"We just don't want to sit back and enjoy the moment. and take one game at a time and say after 'Oh yeah it was a great experience, it was good to be there' and then we'll be back in four years.'" More recently, the Canadians were buoyed by a 2-1 win over No. 24 Japan in a final tournament tune-up. "I think people are realizing slowly but surely that we're at the World Cup. But for us it's a football game and a football game we want to win ... Yes, it's a big task. We already know that, but we'll be prepared for that. It's part of our DNA, our identity, being on the front foot and not being scared of anyone. We showed that against the U.S., against Mexico, against the Japanese and why not do that against Belgium.

Belgium 🇧🇪 not a very strong team...we should be good!!

Is belief gonna win the game?

Let’s be honest most Anglo Canadians see soccer as something Italian Canadians celebrate. Now that Canada by luck and only luck made it they are acting like they know all about soccer. Stick to your 4 national team hockey championships you play in.
