And this is a story that's been lingering over this Canadian team throughout the entire World Cup.
My guess is Alphonso Davies does play.
But in terms of the game itself, Canada is going to need to rely on a lot more than Alphonso Davies to get their first ever knockout round win.
Canada has better attackers than South Africa.
And we can expect South Africa to sit back a little bit
So it's going to be on Jonathan David, Kyle Lahren, Tejan Buchanan to find their game.
They've had a great expected goals rate throughout the entire World Cup.
A lot of that buoyed by their performance against Qatar.
However, if they can make the most of their chances, they're up against a South Africa team that literally doesn't score very much.
Only 15 goals in 10 qualifying games.
One or two goals from the Canadians should be the difference.
And Alphonso Davies could be a big part of making that happen.

This game wasn't just a novel.
It was Homer's Odyssey, set on the shores of Falls Creek in Vancouver.
Six goals from four different players.
A hat trick from Jonathan David.
A heartbreaking, likely broken leg suffered by Ismael Kone after a brutal tackle from Qatar.
And then post-game, what we in Canada might call a Donnybrook, a brawl at the hands of Jesse Marsh and Qatar manager Julian Lopetegui.
Not sure exactly what was said, but what was clear is that fiery Jesse Marsh, who usually has no problem mixing it up with anybody around him, kept his cool, kept his composure.
And that's what should be remembered from today.
