Canada expects stiffer test against St. Kitts in CONCACAF Nations League play
While St. Kitts and Nevis is ranked 133rd in the World, the Sugar Boys present a step up in class for Canada after blowout wins over the U.S. Virgin Islands and Dominica in CONCACAF Nations League qualifying play.
“We know we’re coming up against a hungry group of players,” Canadian coach John Herdman said ahead of Canada’s game against St. Kitts on Sunday in Basseterre.
“This is going to be a tough opponent for us, which is exactly what we want and what we’ve needed,” he added.
Canada, ranked 76th in the world, stands third in the CONCACAF Nations League qualifying standings after blanking the U.S. Virgin Islands 8-0 and Dominica 5-0. St. Kitts is fifth after beating Puerto Rico 1-0 and Saint Martin 10-0.
