Cheer for the boys': Fans flying to Houston for Canada's historic World Cup match

Fans are traveling to Houston to support Canada’s men’s national team in what is framed as a historic World Cup match against Morocco. The article focuses on Matty Alex, a Toronto-based fan who has followed the team across cities, from the opening match in Toronto to a 6-0 win over Qatar in Vancouver and a stoppage-time goal by Stephen Eustaquio against South Africa in Los Angeles that sent Canada to the round of 16 for the first time. Alex plans to fly to Houston on Friday ahead of the match on Saturday. Aviation capacity is a factor: the article says WestJet is replacing smaller aircraft with larger ones and adjusting plans for eight flights between Calgary and Houston to increase seating, while Air Canada modified one Toronto–Houston flight, though it noted its fleet is fully deployed during peak summer travel. The piece also describes Alex’s evolving soccer identity as Canada’s run grows.
