Sadly for Canadian fans, Croatia scored four straight goals to take a 4-1 win, eliminating Canada from World Cup contention.“I’m a big soccer fan — have been my whole life — and I know it’s been kind of a niche thing in Canada, but hopefully this Canada [team] will represent us well and get more people involved,” says Joshua MacNaughton, who watched the game from the sports bar in Halifax.
“You look around here, I mean the place is packed,” says Missy Seral, a proud soccer fan who has season tickets to the Halifax Wanderers club. “I think we’ve discovered in Nova Scotia that there are more sports… And this is one of the best sports.”“I think soccer is growing hugely,” says Lise LeBlanc. “When I played soccer, there wasn’t very much soccer at all. And now there’s soccer everywhere and it’s so exciting. Everyone can play.
“The World Cup spirit – it’s the joy of having seen Canada come this far, fight through all the World Cup qualifications,” he says. “They’ve been proving for the last year that they deserve to be on this stage. And now it’s just a celebration to get here.”
