And I think there's actually a crucial factor to having both Richie Larea and Alistair Johnston in this team.

The question is, Alistair Johnston has a yellow card.

If he gets a yellow card in this game, he misses the round of 32.

So I would actually put Richie Larea on the right and then put Davies on the left if you're starting.

But the centre-back is a big question because Luc de Fougereau, he's 20 years old.

He's lived up to every task that he's been given with this Canadian team.

It started at the 2024 Copa America where he played against Uruguay in the third place game and he's thrived at this World Cup.

maybe not surprising to people that have followed the Canadian national team closely.

But when you see this kid that looks like a kid at center back and bossing around some of these big forwards that Canada has played against, it's been very impressive.

And I think the future is going to be Bombito and DeFuzio when both are healthy.

And I think I'd go to that right now.

I think Luke DeFuzio has given us enough confidence in his play.

And Derek Cornelius is at least,

at a point where if you start Bambito, Cornelius, I think, with the maturity, can come off the bench and be that next man up, whereas I don't really believe that Luke de Fougereau at this point can step into a game in the same way that Cornelius can.

You want to take it first?

I'll go first, but it's probably not the player that is going to be starting the game.

It's 20-year-old defensive midfielder Johan Manzambi, who scored a brace against Bosnia in their late onslaught there.

But he hasn't started either game, so he's potent.

Maybe they've been saving him, but it's a bit of a confusing look for what they've been able to do.

And we've seen the hydration breaks be used as a tactical approach for coaches at this World Cup.
