Canada World Cup travel plans do not usually involve selling tickets to one game so you can afford tickets to another, but that is exactly the math Bob Addison worked out when Canada advanced to Houston. Three seats to an American match turned into just over eight thousand dollars, enough to cover a father-son trip from Seattle to Texas and pay his mother back for the credit card that started it all.

The game itself delivers a full range of emotion: a strong first half against Morocco, a defensive collapse in the second, and a lingering concern over Alphonso Davies walking off the field without warming up, raising questions about whether Bayern Munich had a hand in holding him back. What lands hardest by the end has nothing to do with the score, it is what a father learns about a trip his son says he will remember for the rest of his life.
