Less than a week after a makeshift Canadian men’s national side beat Mauritania 4-0, the second half of their African adventure saw them lose 4-0 to Morocco.

El Salvador's national soccer federation has claimed that a representative of a wealthy Honduran businessman has offered its national team money to do well against Canada in Tuesday night's World Cup qualifier.
