It's all starting to become real for the CanMNT, who have officially kicked off their World Cup preparation in Charlotte, North Carolina, where they've gathered for their pre-tournament training camp. Unfortunately, due to injuries and other club commitments, not everyone has made it to Charlotte, including Canadian captain Alphonso Davies, but otherwise, most of the 32 players who were called up to this camp are there. Now, the challenge for head coach Jesse Marsch is to whittle that group of 32 down to 26 players, which will be easier said than done. Speaking of Marsch, though, he's already had a busy week, as he announced that he'll stay on as CanMNT head coach through the 2030 World Cup, in what is a big coup for the Canadian program. Alex, Ben and Brendan dive into everything you need to know about that squad, as well as about Marsch's contract extension, before finishing with a chat about the favourites to win this World Cup, in this episode of the Northern Futbol Podcast.

Alphonso Davies's injury troubles have continued, as the CanMNT captain picked up another muscle problem while playing for Bayern Munich, one that is serious enough to put his World Cup participation with Canada in doubt. Now, he faces a race against the clock to return to full fitness, and even if that goes well, it's hard to imagine him being at his best this summer, which could affect the CanMNT's plans. In better news, however, some other Canadians are thriving abroad, including Jacob Shaffelburg, Liam Millar and Cyle Larin - in particular, there will be a lot of Canadian interest in the EFL Championship promotion final this weekend, with Millar's Hull City and Larin's Southampton set to face off in football's most lucrative match (unless Southampton's spygate scandal opens the door for Alfie Jones and Middlesborough to get back into the promotion mix). Elsewhere, some key CanWNT players are also thriving in the NWSL, which is good news for Casey Stoney as she continues to get set for the next Canadian Women's National Team camp. Hosted on Acast.
