Canada really liked the World Cup in Qatar. Sincere, attacking football, high speeds. True, they themselves could not stand them, noticeably sat down after the 70th minute, but still. The intention remained in the memory for a long time. After in the League of Nations, CONCACAF lost in the final only to the United States. And then a positive handicap for Guadeloupe, not a single player of the national team of which I myself would not name right off the bat. We understand the reasons for this choice.

Canada, like the United States and Mexico, brought a different composition here. This is logical. The European schedule is incredibly tight, the same Davis and David also need a rest. We will not have time to look back, as the pre-season and in early August the new season. Who will not be in this tournament in Canada? We list. Alphonso Davies from Bayern, Alistair Johnson from Celtic, the legendary Hutchinson, who ended his career with the League of Nations, Conet from Watford, Bouhakan from Brugge, David from Lille, Larin from Valladolid - in general, all those whom we can call leaders and defining figures.

How will it be without them? I think that it is not catastrophic, they will leave the group, after all, the Briton Herdman showed that he is not furniture, and most of the results are his merit. Look, he even left Davis on the bench in the semi-finals of the League of Nations. But I certainly would not expect defeats from them. Moreover, as it turned out, Guadeloupe is not some amateurs. Right now, their composition is only 3-4 times cheaper than Canada. And a lot of European guys.

Keeper - from the Bordeaux double. In defense - Gravillon from Torino (was on loan in Reims), Saintini from Swiss Sion, Avinel and Alphonse from Ajaccio, Baron from Servette. Yes, not Bavaria, which is not in this part of Canada, but still - not fans for sure. Good level. Ahead - Phaeton from Grenoble (decent 9 + 2 in Ligue 2), Ambrose from Ostend (7 + 3 in Belgium). And a lot of other Ligue 2 representatives. Who have Guadeloupe played with in the last couple of years to draw at least some parallels? With Jamaica - 1:2, with Costa Rica (removal in the 59th minute) - 1:3. At the same tournament in 2011 (it is clear that a lot of time has passed, but at least something): the USA, Canada and Panama lost minimally.
