‘Almost perfect’: Victoria supporters back Canada despite first World Cup loss

A week ago, advancing to the knockout stage would have felt like enough.
On Wednesday afternoon (June 24), nearly 1,000 supporters packed into Market Square hoping for something more.
Switzerland ultimately spoiled Canada’s bid for first place in Group B with a 2-1 victory, illustrating just how quickly expectations have changed around the men’s national team during this World Cup.Capacity crowd at Market Square in Victoria for Canada vs. Switzerland #yyj #worldcup #fifa pic.twitter.
