UMM SALAL, QATAR (Reuters) - Canada aim to surprise their opponents when they make their first appearance at the World Cup finals in 36 years, midfielder Jonathan Osorio said after a training session on Sunday.

Canada will face second-ranked Belgium, an ageing but still impressive team, on Wednesday in their first World Cup match since 1986. Their other Group F opponents are on 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia and Morocco, who were unbeaten in African qualifying.

"We want to surprise people because I think people still see us as underdogs. 'It's the World Cup, they should just be happy to be here.' But that's not our mentality."
