It wasn't the result Canada wanted, but it's hard to ask for a better effort from the country making its first World Cup appearance since 1986. 

Canada dropped its Group F opener to Belgium by a 1-0 score. Despite the loss,Canada looked like it belonged, getting a number of chances throughout, but failing to get a ball by Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. 

Canada is still searching for their first World Cup win for the men's national team. After falling to Belgium, the club's next try will be against Croatia on Sunday. Croatia tied with Morocco in their opener. 

Here is what you need to know ahead of Canada's next game at the 2022 World Cup.
