And it's not unreasonable to think or even expect Canada to win both of these games, given where both opponents are ranked in relation to Canada and given where Canada is now in terms of its program.
It's not an unrealistic expectation to expect them to win this game.
And I think that's got to be the measure by which we judge this group.
Everyone's looking forward to this performance.
They're looking forward to seeing the Canadian team bring this attacking, aggressive style of play that Jesse Marsh talks about often and bring it to home soil.
It just feels different than it did four years ago.
We were in Qatar four years ago and it was new for everyone.
All of us, the staff, the players, had never experienced a World Cup.
But there's 13 players in this group of players here in Toronto right now who are in Qatar.
They know what this feels like.
They know what it takes to go through a process to get ready for that first game.
They know what it feels like to play in that first game.
But now they're doing it on home soil.
They're doing it in their stadium where they feel comfortable.
So there's a different vibe here right now.
And I think it's a quiet confidence amongst the Canadian group that they're going to go out there and get a result today.
So the Bosnians are big, they're strong, they're aggressive.
They've got wide players who will look to beat the fullback and whip crosses in.
They'll cross the ball incessantly.
It just won't stop.
