The World Cup is starting to see teams playing their second group match. This was the case for the Czech Republic and South Africa, and Switzerland against Bosnia and Herzegovina. While also having Mexico against South Korea after Canada's clash.
With Switzerland’s recent victory, Canada must defeat Qatar to climb into the second or first place of Group B.
However, Jesse Marsch has to put its best players in the starting lineup to secure a tough win against a solid defensive team.
LAFC fans are wondering whether Stephen Eustaquio will participate in tonight’s game against Qatar. There is some awesome news for those fans.
Is Stephen Eustaquio playing tonight for Canada vs Qatar?
Stephen Eustáquio is a fundamental piece of Jesse Marsch's system, making it almost unthinkable to leave him out of the starting lineup. However, this is soccer, and everything is possible.
Could be that the manager saw this as not a difficult encounter. Thus, Marsch could opt to move the team a little bit and let some other players.
Nevertheless, this is not the case, and Canada is playing against the 2022 World Cup host with their best players (while also having Alphonso Davies on the bench).
The starting lineup for this match is: Luc De Fougerolles; Maxime Crépeau, Richie Laryea, Derek Cornelius, Alistair Johnston; Ali Ahmed, Ismaël Koné, Stephen Eustáquio; Tajon Buchanan, Cyle Larin, Jonathan David.
With this said, Stephen Eustaquio will not only participate from the beggining, but also be his team’s captain as he has been during many matches.
Canada must win tonight if they want to battle Switzerland for first place in their group.
Right now, the job is tough. The Swiss defeated Bosnia 4-1, meaning that Canada has to add three points and quite a few goals to their account.
However, what we’ve seen in this sport is that nothing is impossible, and the window is open for it to occur.
