Opinion: It is a hell of a question, given everything: will John Herdman be Canada’s coach in 2026? When asked, it was clear he doesn’t know the answer. Some people with deep ties to Canadian soccer have wondered whether Canada Soccer will retain him.
in the Belgium game showed a little too much deference to the players, as did perhaps the decision to let Hutchinson stay in the Croatia match, and Eustaquio too. Those are a little different: he didn’t have comparable options.
But Davies shouldn’t taken that penalty, and that is a big part of the difference between playing Morocco with a chance to advance, and playing Morocco and knowing when you fly home. But it’s Herdman’s first men’s World Cup, and his players’s first too. We should be unequivocal here: There is no reason to lose Herdman unless he decided to accept an offer somewhere else. Some people with deep ties to Canadian soccer have wondered whether Canada Soccer — which is still seen to be directed, even by proxy, by CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani — will retain Herdman.
“But again, it’s those kids in those schools that will keep believing that Canada is a football country, because they’ve seen that Belgium game, they’ve seen, and they know we are — I nearly said it — we’re a football country. We’re there. And you can’t deny them. No one can. And we’re going to push tomorrow to keep proving that.He got emotional at the end there; maybe it was just the moment. On Thursday, John Herdman will coach Canada at the World Cup. Then we’ll see what’s next.
