Slowly, the quotas for the next World Cup to be held at the end of the year in Qatar are taking over. This Sunday, Canada claimed their place as the best national team in Concacaf by defeating Jamaica 4-0 in the cold weather in Toronto and will have his second participation in the highest football tournament after his only experience in Mexico 1986. Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich footballer and top star of the North American team, reacted to the last minutes of the historic match from home and was moved to tears.

The left-back, who has not played since December as he was diagnosed with mild inflammation of the heart muscle, celebrated the goals of his teammates and colleagues with whom he worked to return the North American country to the World Cup. “This is incredible. This feeling, it's incredible. I think this is going to be the first and last time I will be seen crying on stream. This is fabulous, brother,” he said, seeing the celebrations that took place at BMO Field totally full of fans.

And he added about the long wait to return to the prestigious event: “They just don't understand how much happened. They don't understand what this is worth because they're never going to make it. Every person on that court deserves it. Every person in that stadium, in Canada and even outside Canada who believed in us, this is for you. The red and white will be at the World Cup against the European giants. All these amazing countries. We did it.”

Davies plans to make a return similar to that of Christian Eriksen with the Denmark national team after the cardiac episode that had him on the verge of death. The Brentford wheel returned with a goal against the Netherlands and became an inspiration for all footballers who had problems in the heart, in the case of Alphonso, as a result of the coronavirus. The Canadian defender returned to training with the Bundesliga team last week and plans to return to the national team in the next June window.

Meanwhile. The United States, Mexico and Costa Rica define the two direct tickets to the World Cup and who will go to the playoff against an OFC country (Oceania). The expectations of the football planet will be focused on the draw that will take place next Friday, April 1 in Qatar, with the hope of starting chart the possible rivals and paths of all the teams in the next edition of the World Cup.
