Canada hope for ‘hero’s welcome’ at homecoming friendlies against Chile, Peru
MONTREAL: Canada will look to celebrate their World Cup run when they return home for two friendlies against Chile and Peru later this year, in what head coach Jesse Marsch hopes will be a “hero’s welcome.” Canada will host Chile in Toronto on September 26 before traveling to Montreal to face Peru on October 3, the countries’ soccer federations announced on Wednesday. The friendlies mark Canada’s homecoming after a historic showing at the World Cup which saw them win their first game at the men’s tournament, a 6-0 romp against Qatar, and advance to the knockout stage for the first time. “The momentum we’ve created for this sport in the country over the past few months has been incredible,” Marsch said in a statement. “We couldn’t have done it without our fans, and these matches are a chance to say thank you and continue to build on what we achieved at the World Cup.

How a 64-team World Cup could transform soccer’s economics
DALLAS: The first 48-team World Cup has barely finished, but Gianni Infantino has already acknowledged the possibility that soccer’s biggest tournament could one day grow larger still, a move that could fundamentally alter the economics of the sport. Speaking to Swiss television during the tournament, the FIFA president said a 64-team World Cup was among the ideas that could be examined once the finals were over, reopening debate over how large the game’s showpiece event can realistically become. The logistical implications of another expansion are obvious. A bigger tournament would require more stadiums, more hotels, more transport and, most likely, more time.
