This is the Gold Cup opener for both teams, as they look to navigate their way through Group B, which also includes El Salvador and Curaçao. Canada has a decent chance to finish at or near the top of the group standings, but they would need to get off to a good start here. Canada is coming off a loss in a shootout against the Ivory Coast last week. At the same time, Honduras enters with some momentum after beating Antigua and Barbuda in the World Cup Qualifiers. Canada has not won this tournament since 2000, but this might be its best chance at claiming the throne since then. Alphonso Davies and Sam Adekugbe will not be available, but they have the talent to overcome the loss of two of their top players. Cyle Larin will have to step up in their absence, as they face a Honduras team riding a four-match win streak.

Canada men's soccer: Phoneys will be sniffed out, and kicked out
Article content For Canadian soccer fans, the Iceteca was more than just the seminal moment in Canada's incipient and unexpected run to the World Cup. It was magical. Article content Cyle Larin's brace. Sam Adekugbe's effervescent leap into the pile of sideline snow. The -9°C temperatures. The first win in 45 years over Mexico in a World Cup qualifier. The emergence as The Team to beat in North America. Article content The 2-1 triumph, the first over Mexico in 20 years, boosted Les Rouges atop the qualifying table. It was 376 days before Canada would ultimately kick off against Belgium at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, their first trip to the tournament since 1986. Article content Article content Article content The one-year countdown to the 2026 World Cup ticked over in a grand ceremony and clock unveiling at B.C. Place this past Wednesday, the same stadium Canada will play its first game of the Gold Cup tournament against Honduras on Tuesday. Article content Article content The stakes are different this time. In 2021, it was excitement and a team oozing with confidence, having overcome incredible odds to emerge as the region's best team. Article content The confidence is still there, but those plucky, fabulous underdogs have grown up. Article content 'A lot of the guys have experience from the last World Cup and we just need to keep that same rhythm we had throughout that year and bring it in to the World Cup. … We want to do something special there,' said forward Cyle Larin. 'I think the more you do well, the more that people expect. When you start playing better, doing well, scoring goals, winning games … it's (raised) expectations. And the more we go up in the rankings in the world … people expect more. That's the level we want.' Article content Article content In qualifying for the last World Cup, Canada had to basically start from scratch when the process was changed because of COVID. The top four-ranked CONCACAF teams got a bye into the final round — the eight-team Octagonal — while Canada had to scratch and claw its way through two preliminary rounds. The team responded by setting a slew of records, including an unprecedented 17-game unbeaten streak, as they stormed through the field, eventually finishing as Kings of CONCACAF. Article content Article content As a host nation for 2026, there will be no qualifying drama. Their spot is assured. Their focus is solely on winning, momentum and peaking in the summer of 2026. Article content 'I think everybody knows how important this summer is and what it means for next summer,' head coach Jesse Marsch said. 'I've explained my feelings about this tournament to the team over the last months, but I didn't really have to. They all said to me, 'We're coming. We want to win it.' And so that's a big statement, but that's how they feel. And I'm glad that I coach a team that feels that way.'

And so that's a big statement, but that's how they feel. And I'm glad that I coach a team that feels that way.' They understand the assignment. It's a group project. There can be no slackers, no dead weight. Jonathan David could have easily skipped the Canadian Shield — their two friendlies against Ukraine and Cote d'Ivoire last week — as he heads into the biggest transfer summer of his career, expecting to land with an as-yet-decided European giant. 'I want a club with ambition that wants to do something,' David told the Athletic's Joshua Kloke, as teams like Juventus, Manchester United, and Inter Milan circle around him. But he joined Canada. The same with Derek Cornelius, fresh off an extra-long season with Marseille that saw them qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Tajon Buchanon's rocky time on loan with Villarreal meant he reverted to Inter Milan, who are playing in the Club World Cup — but he's in Vancouver, too. Marsch also made a call to the freshly married Alastair Johnson, who will come straight from his honeymoon to Vancouver. 'I don't like the term 'buy in,' because it assumes I'm selling something. The team believes in what's being created … they're totally engaged by the whole experience,' said Marsch. 'They all love being with this team. They love the national team. There was the talk of the brotherhood before I came, and I think that was definitely created. The foundation had been created with this group, but it's a unique, selfless group. I haven't been around many teams that have this kind of love and commitment to each other.' That group of battle-hardened World Cup vets is four years older, but only four of the players on the Gold Cup roster — Larin, Richie Laryea, Jonathan Osario and Maxime Crepeau — are aged 30 or older. But there are young players coming through. Burnaby's Niko Sigur, 21, has four caps, and plays in Europe. Promise David, 23, scored in his debut against Ukraine, after switching countries from Nigeria to Canada. Bournemouth striker Daniel Jebbison eschewed playing for England, switching to Canada and getting capped against Mexico. 'I think this is the best we've ever been,' Sigur said. 'A lot of good players, a lot of good, good young players as well. We have a good mix of some older guys, but we have a lot of good young guys with good experience in Europe.' Integrating new players hasn't been hard for Marsch and Co., because it's made clear what the expectations are. This is a brotherhood. There are responsibilities. 'There are key players and people in the team that are really at the core of everything we do. But I think even when I talk to the dual nationals about coming, or when I've recruited new players, I'm like, 'Look, man, this is not a team that you can just come to because it's good for your career, and you're looking to maybe get more playing minutes and continue to establish yourself,'' said Marsch. 'The only way you can come into this team is if you are all in and you are fully committed to this group, because they'll sniff out a phoney in a second. 'I realized right from the start that with this team, there wasn't a lot of incremental gains to be found,' he added. 'But I felt like the standard at which they think about the game, their commitment to it, and their commitment to excellence and maximizing potential from themselves — within a system that we're creating that's more about like being aggressive — that this was where we could really make the incremental gains. 'And I think that's proved to be the case. Then insert into that the mentality and the commitment, then you're creating a recipe for success.' jadams@ @ Gold Cup, Group Stage Group B: Canada (0-0) vs. Honduras (0-0) Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., B.C.

FIFA World Cup one year out: Canada's challenge, global hot spots and the Trump factor
As Cyle Larin and Steph Eustáquio met at the halfway line of BMO Field Tuesday night, they stood between teammates in front of a hoarding spelling out CHAMPIONS in block capitals. It was after 11:15 p.m. on a school night and many fans had made for the exits, so they didn't get to see the duo raise the inaugural Canadian Shield aloft. They had the consolation of not missing the fireworks because the pyrotechnics behind the players failed to fire, Eustáquio turning with bemusement at the flat backdrop.

Canada wins Canadian Shield Tournament despite penalty shootout loss to Ivory Coast
Canada's Cyle Larin, left, is knocked off the ball by Cote d'Ivoire's Franck Yannick Kessie during first half Canadian Shield Tournament action, in Toronto, on Tuesday June 10, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris Young TORONTO — It was a draw, a loss and a win — all in one. But when the dust settled, Canada emerged victorious at the inaugural Canadian Shield Tournament. Despite losing to African champion Ivory Coast 5-4 in a penalty shootout after a scoreless draw in regulation time Tuesday, the 30th-ranked Canadian men finished with four points, one ahead of No. 86 New Zealand and No. 25 Ukraine, and two ahead of No. 41 Ivory Coast. That meant champion T-shirts, the PA system at BMO Field blaring Queen's 'We are The Champions,' pyrotechnics (which went off a little late) and a trophy to hoist. Mission accomplished for Canada coach Jesse Marsch. 'I know from where we were 10 days ago to where we are right now, we're a much more prepared team for what next summer will require,' Marsch said, referencing the World Cup. 'And that's been the goal of creating these friendlies, to try and get the best opponents possible, the level of opponent that we think we're going to see next summer. 'And Ivory Coast challenged us in a lot of ways. We bent at moments but we didn't break. So that part was great.' Victory was assured for Canada just by getting to the shootout, given it would finish the night with at least four points — with two points for a shootout win and one for a shootout loss — while no one else had more than three. A regulation win was worth three points at the tournament. Jonathan David, Mathieu Choiniere, Derek Cornelius and Ismael Kone scored for Canada in the shootout. Badra Ali Sangaré stopped Tani Oluwaseyi and Luc de Fougerolles. Clement Akpa, Jereme Boga, Emmanuel Latte Lath, Franck Kessie and Mohamed Diomande scored for Ivory Coast in the shootout, beating Dayne St. Clair. Mory Gbane missed the target. Ukraine defeated New Zealand 2-1 in the early game Tuesday, leaving both teams at 1-1-0 with three points. That result meant Ivory Coast had to win by two goals to take the trophy. The Canadians defeated Ukraine 4-2 in the tournament opener Saturday while Ivory Coast lost 1-0 to New Zealand. Ivory Coast is currently ranked fifth in Africa by FIFA — behind No. 12 Morocco, No. 19 Senegal, No. 32 Egypt and No. 36 Algeria. But the Elephants are the reigning Africa Cup of Nations champions and have been ranked as high as No. 12 in the world. Ivory Coast looked dangerous, comfortably moving the ball around as drums resonated in its supporters' section at BMO Field. The Ivorian 'keeper had little to do in the first half other than watch his team from afar. Both teams managed just one shot on target before the break with Canada never really finding its rhythm. The second half was choppy and chippy with plenty of stops and starts before an announced crowd of 18,489. As promised, Marsch fielded almost an entirely different lineup with only centre back Cornelius retaining his spot from the Ukraine starting 11. Veteran forward Cyle Larin served as captain for the first time. Daniel Jebbison, a 21-year-old forward with England's Bournemouth, won his third cap in his first start. Vancouver Whitecaps winger Jayden Nelson also made his first start, earning his seventh cap. It was a more experienced group of starters, with a combined cap count of 369 going into the game compared to 241 for the starting 11 against Ukraine. Larin, Jonathan Osorio and Richie Laryea accounted for 226 of Tuesday's total. Osorio's 85th cap moved him into third place on the Canadian men's all-time list behind Julian de Guzman (89) and Atiba Hutchinson (105). Canadian midfielder Stephen Eustaquio was honoured before the game for earning his 50th cap against Ukraine. David and Tajon Buchanan, who accounted for three goals against Ukraine, came off the bench in the 76th minute as Canada looked for a goal. Canadian defender Sam Adekugbe had to be helped off the field in the 83rd minute, favouring his leg after going down. Marsch said the Whitecaps defender would have a scan done on his calf. Canada had never faced Ivory Coast before. The last time it faced an African side was at the World Cup in Qatar in December 2022 when it lost 2-1 to Morocco in its final group-stage game. The Ivory Coast squad draws on players from clubs in Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey. Canada heads to the CONCACAF Gold Cup next, opening against No. 95 Honduras on June 17 in Vancouver before completing Group B play in Houston against No. 90 Curaçao and No. 81 El Salvador on June 21 and 24, respectively. Marsch had the players runs sprints after Tuesday's match, ahead of a day off, with the team scheduled to gather in Vancouver on Thursday. Canada went into Tuesday's match with a 7-4-5 record under Marsch, with one of those ties turning into a penalty shootout loss to Uruguay and another into a shootout win over Venezuela. His previous three games in Canada — against Ukraine, Suriname and Panama — were all victories. Ivory Coast returns to World Cup qualifying play in September. It currently leads Group F in African qualifying with a 5-0-1 record, one point ahead of No. 79 Gabon in the six-country group that also includes No. 140 Burundi, No. 111 Kenya, No. 126 Gambia and the 203rd-ranked Seychelles.
