Canada earns first World Cup point as Trump is set to miss U.S. opener

Canada drew 1-1 with Bosnia and collected its first-ever point in World Cup history. The result was presented as part of a broader World Cup context, in which FIFA has pledged that everyone will be welcome, even as political and security issues continue to surface around the tournament.

The article says Canada refused to allow Thomas Partey, who is accused of rape, to enter its territory for the match. It also notes an unusual development involving Donald Trump, who will miss the United States' World Cup opening game, despite the tournament's significance for the U.S. team.

The text adds that, in the previous World Cup, the American players were still learning how to play soccer, while this time the U.S. national team is said to be dreaming big. The piece frames these developments as part of a shifting moment for North American soccer ahead of the tournament's opening.

Several unrelated Israeli news and opinion items are also listed in the source, including reports on a draw between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Hapoel Hadera, Bnei Reineh's victory, and a 1-1 match between Hapoel Petah Tikva and M.S. Ashdod.
