Canada's World Cup qualifying match against the Cayman Islands, scheduled for Sunday, has been pushed back to Monday because of an issue with COVID-19 testing among the Cayman camp.

BRADENTON, FLA. -- In assembling his team in Florida for a pair of World Cup qualifiers, Canada coach John Herdman talked of the many hoops needed to jump through to get players into camp during a pandemic."We've had no COVID tests on the entry which is fantastic. People have done a great job individually and collectively and the team is primed to go," he said prior to games against Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

Canada Soccer said teams are required to provide FIFA with negative COVID-19 PCR test results for all players and staff taken no earlier than 72 hours prior to accessing the venue. Without the test results, you can't access the stadium. Sunday's game was officially a home game for the Caymans. But the three-island group with a population of some 63,000, has the same 14-day quarantine as Canada so opted to shift the site to Bradenton.

Canada sets scoring record in World Cup qualifier win over Cayman IslandsSubstitute Lucas Cavallini scored a second-half hat trick as a young Canada side ran up a record goal total Monday, crushing the Cayman Islands 11-0 in World Cup qualifying play. Big deal. I wouldn't even have tweeted about this. Should have scored 20 against those bums. Half of the opposing players were malnourished. 11 will be the total against when we meet the Yanks and Mexico in the final group. If Sportsnet really cared about the success of Soccer in Canada they would have picked up the rights to broadcast our National Teams and every Canadian could have had a chance to watch this game, we arguably have the best player in the world in Alphonso Davies!
