There was a lot to like about how Canada played in their first game of the post-Benito Floro era. After struggling to figure out their opposition in the first half, Canada exploded for four goals in the second, their biggest offensive display in more than a year.
For a national team that has been criticised for playing far too defensively of late, seeing an offensive outburst like that was refreshing. It was, however, also against inferior opposition, and nobody will be writing home about a victory against Mauritania anytime soon.
That is the opposite of today's match, where Canada will play Morocco, a very good team.
