Colin Paterson says he has been watching the team since he was young, and he says feels very proud of the team’s performance, despite the result.

Paterson says he is disappointed, because he thought that Canada could have advanced, but he would have never expected the team to advance to the round of 16.

Canada advanced to game after beating South Africa to win the country’s first ever knockout match at the World Cup and the game against the North African team was tied nil-nil after one half.

Morocco opened the scoring in the 50th minute when Azzedine Ounahi’s shot went passed Canada’s goaltender Max Crepeau.

Ounahi then scored his second goal in 82nd minute and Soufiane Rahimi scored his team’s third goal deep into stoppage to seal his team’s advancement to the quarterfinals, where they will play either Paraguay or France in a quarterfinal matchup in Boston on July 9.
