Canada’s Young Defender Steps Up

Canada’s World Cup dream is suddenly a wild ride: star center back Moïse Bombito’s leg fracture forces 20-year-old rookie Luc De Fougerolles — fluent in English, not French — into the spotlight.

De Fougerolles, who played pro in Belgium and has just 13 caps, says he’s always believed he’d be here. Facing Bosnia’s towering lineup in pouring rain, Canada’s defense must rise — and the whole squad is buzzing with nerves and pure adrenaline, ready to prove depth can win big on home soil.
