It’s a really big moment for Canada, a big moment in the history of Canadian soccer, but a really big moment for you guys too. I want to tell you how much we are all so excited about what you have achieved and what you are going to achieve.”

Canada Soccer team took to Twitter and shared the video of Trudeau’s meeting with the team. The video has garnered 10,15,000 views and 2,711 likes.

The Canadian Prime Minister also posed for photographs with the team. “Let me tell you – after the win on Friday and ahead of tomorrow’s game, there was a whole lot of energy on the field when I met the Canada men’s national soccer team today. You have got this,” wrote Trudeau on the micro-blogging platform.

Craig Forrest, a Twitter user shared the photo of former Canadian PM and Justin’s father Pierre Trudeau with the former men’s national soccer team. “Maybe the last Canadian PM to be photographed with a CanMNT was this pic in London, England 1987 #U20Canmnt #Pierre,” read the tweet.

Another Twitter user, Vanessa wrote, “The way College Day was begging for Katy to come back as a celebrity guest for their football game, and since Katy sent a video of support and the team winning a few days ago, other sports want in on the Katy hype.”

Canada defeated Costa Rica on Friday at Commonwealth Stadium while Mexico lost 2-0 to the United States. The Canadian team is gearing for a match with Mexico.
