Floro, Osorio full of anticipation for Canada-Mexico clash

With BC Place set to be sold out this Friday, Canada and Mexico are ready to put on a performance in their latest World Cup qualifying clash.

VANCOUVER – There was a sense of enthusiasm in the voices of both Benito Floro and Juan Carlos Osorio when they spoke about Friday’s important World Cup qualifier between Canada and Mexico at BC Place.

The Good Friday clash has been building excitement for several months. At Tuesday’s pre-match press conference in downtown Vancouver, Canadian Soccer Association general secretary Peter Montopoli expected this Russia 2018 qualifier to be a sell-out after confirming that over 50,000 tickets had been sold for the first of a home-and-away set of matches between these two North American foes.
