Canada can top Group B and stay in Vancouver with result against Switzerland

Canada go into Wednesday's match against Switzerland at BC Place with a clear prize: win Group B and stay in Vancouver for the knockout round. Jesse Marsch laid it out plainly: "Staying here in Vancouver is definitely our number one goal" (1). When he took the job two years ago, people thought he was crazy. Now Canada are exactly where he expected them to be, with the chance to finish top against Murat Yakin's Switzerland side. The math is simple: a result gets it done.
