The good times keep on rolling for fans of the Canadian Men’s Senior team after they closed out their first round action this morning against Latvia. Both Canada and Latvia came into this game already having clinched a spot in the second round, each with a 2-1 record. While there was no elimination factor in this game, teams carry their record and point differential into the second round, so winning was still imperative.

Canada and Latvia advanced from Group H, and will play the top two teams from Group G in the second round. As of today (Tuesday), Spain has already solidified their spot in the second round, with a game tomorrow between Cote D’Ivoire and Brazil to determine Canada’s other opponent.
