Canada to Play Switzerland in Important World Cup Match

Canada's soccer team wants to win against Switzerland to move to the next round of the World Cup.
The game against Switzerland is important for Canada's progress in the tournament.
Canadian player Cyle Larin said they expected to be in this position in the tournament.
Larin thinks Canada's team is good and has a lot of talent, so they expected to do well.
Before beating Qatar 6-0, Canada had never won a World Cup game. Switzerland has done well in the tournament before.
Canada and Switzerland have played each other once before, and Canada won 3-1.
Canada's coach Jesse Marsch has to make some changes to the team because a player got hurt.
Marsch said they have to figure out how to use all the players to win the game without the hurt player.
The hurt player, Ismaël Koné, is very important to the team, so it won't be easy to replace him.
Koné is a great player and a big personality in the team, so they will miss him.
The game against Switzerland starts at 3 p.m. eastern time.
This is the first time there are 32 teams in the World Cup, and Canada wants to qualify for the next round.
Canada is currently tied with Switzerland for first place in their group with four points.
If Canada wins or draws against Switzerland, they will finish first in their group.
Finishing first gives Canada more time to rest before the next game.
A win in the next round would also let Canada stay in Vancouver for the next game.
The extra rest would help Canada's star player Alphonso Davies recover.
If Canada loses, they might come in second in their group.
Coming in second would make Canada play on the first day of knockout games.
If Canada comes in third, they will play a stronger team in the next round.
