## Resource

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup nearly underway, Toronto-based writer Marley Dickinson joins the show to discuss the atmosphere surrounding the biggest sporting event on the planet as Canada prepares to open its tournament against Bosnia-Herzegovina. We break down Canada's path through Group B, whether Jesse Marsch's squad has what it takes to advance to the knockout stage and the strengths and weaknesses that could ultimately define the host nation's World Cup journey. We also examine the impact of injuries to key players Alphonso Davies and Moïse Bombito, how Canada may adapt without two of its most important contributors and what has changed about this program since its appearance at the 2022 World Cup. Plus, Marley shares his thoughts on the tournament's biggest contenders, under-the-radar storylines, the challenges facing host nations and what success would ultimately look like for Canada on home soil.
