Canada has already made program history at this tournament, earning its first World Cup point, first win, and now its first trip to the Round of 16. Jesse Marsch's side reached this stage by beating South Africa in the Round of 32, and the potential return of Alphonso Davies to a starting role gives Canada another major boost against one of the tournament's most experienced knockout teams.
Morocco comes in with the pedigree of a 2022 semifinalist and the confidence of another strong run. The Atlas Lions topped a difficult group, drew Brazil, and then eliminated the Netherlands on penalties to set up this matchup. Canada's pace and energy make this dangerous, but Morocco's defensive structure, tournament experience, and improved attacking options make it the more proven side heading into Houston.
