As one of three co-host nations, Canada's first 2026 FIFA World Cup match ended in a 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
After allowing an early goal in the 21st minute off a corner kick, Canada leveled the score with a 78th minute equalizer from Cyle Larin.
While many thought Friday would finally be the day, Canada have still never won a FIFA Men's World Cup match.
But it could have been much worse, as they were trailing for the majority of the match.
With the draw, Canada's odds have only dropped slightly.
Prior to the match, Canada had 200-1 odds to win the World Cup.
That number has now fallen to 250-1.
Even though Canada had to settle for a draw in its opening match, they got the best news possible one day later.
In a dramatic turn of events on Saturday, Qatar scored an extra-time goal to force an unexpected draw against Switzerland, a result that heavily affects the outlook of group B.
Instead of being down two points, Canada is now tied for first place.
After Canada's match yesterday, its odds to win Group B dropped from +180 to +240.
Now, after Switzerland's draw, Les Rouges is +160 to win the group.
Here are the updated odds for how Canada will fare in this year's tournament as of June 13.

While the Canadians ended a 36-year-long drought with their appearance in 2022, it was short-lived, as they got ousted in the group stage with a record of 0-0-3.
They will look to build off their strong momentum from their fourth-place finish at the 2024 Copa América tournament.
After recording its first ever men's World Cup point, Les Rouges will look to get in the win column in its remaining two group games against Qatar and Switzerland.
