In the second minute of stoppage time at SoFi Stadium, a quiet midfielder named Stephen Eustáquio struck a volley from distance that sent Canada into the World Cup Round of 16 for the first time in the nation's history. It was the kind of moment that arrives after decades of patient waiting — a single, perfect act that reorders what a country believes is possible. On July 4, in Houston, Canada will face either Morocco or the Netherlands, carrying with it the weight and wonder of a program transformed.
