In the dying moments of a tightly contested match in Los Angeles, Stephen Eustaquio's stoppage-time goal carried Canada past South Africa and into the World Cup round of 16 — a result that sent a nation exhaling in unison. It was the kind of moment that transcends sport, arriving when doubt had nearly settled in, and reminding a country of what collective hope feels like. Canada now turns toward Houston and a July 4th meeting with either the Netherlands or Morocco, carrying with it the weight and warmth of a people who believed before the outcome was certain.
