On July 3, Canadian player Johnston was interviewed ahead of the upcoming match against Morocco.

What has changed about this team compared with four years ago?

Much has changed. We are still young, but our experience has clearly improved, especially our composure in crucial matches.

Compared to four years ago, I am much calmer when facing the same game; this change can only be gained through playing.

We have proven that we can beat any team when we perform at our usual level, but we also know that any complacency will come at a cost.

When you look back on this FIFA World Cup years from now, what will you say?

I hope I can say, "I have no regrets; I gave it my all." We have been together for six weeks, and the team is very close.

If we can beat the top teams in the world and reach the quarterfinals, it will be a historic moment.

Whatever the outcome, I hope we can be proud of ourselves.

What would you say to yourself before the game?

I would probably remind myself to stay focused, play the game well, and not be affected by the atmosphere.

We need to stick together, play to our strengths, and enjoy the game.

Whether it’s 90 minutes or 120 minutes, as long as we give our best, we will have no regrets.

What was Steve Nash's message to the team?

He reminded us to "find a balance between tension and freedom."

We need to maintain discipline while also daring to express ourselves and enjoy the game.

How do you view this team’s historical significance?

We want to be the generation that takes Canadian soccer further. If we keep winning, soccer will become increasingly important in Canada. We hope to use the FIFA World Cup to continue growing the Sport across the country.
