Alphonso Davies criticized after Canada eliminated by Morocco

Canada's journey in the tournament ended with a 0-3 defeat to Morocco in the round of 16. Alphonso Davies, who spent the match on the bench due to injury concerns, faced significant backlash from fans after the loss. Despite hopes he would return to the starting lineup following a brief comeback, Canada coach Jesse Marsch stated that Davies's injury was a determining factor in the decision to keep him sidelined. An MRI cleared him of serious injury, yet a recent setback in training led to caution regarding his playing status before the match. The criticism reflects the high expectations on Davies as both a player and captain for the national team.
