The CanMNT took a step towards the 2026 World Cup with a productive October window, one where they lost 1-0 to Australia before drawing 0-0 with Colombia. While their offence struggled, their defence was a big strength, and some individuals put in key performances to improve their World Cup stock, giving plenty for Canada to be pleased with despite the results. And Jesse Marsch has just discovered another exciting dual national, which is always a bonus.
