  "account": "Stephen Eustaquio, Canada’s vice-captain, flew to his national team’s September FIFA international break just 48 hours after tying the knot with his wife, Constanca Damiao. The steady midfielder, who could have taken time off for a beach vacation, joined his teammates in Montreal to support the team during the season. Canada’s coach, Jesse Marsch, defended Eustaquio’s decision, explaining that the midfielder wanted to be present at the camp. Teammate Ralph Priso praised Eustaquio as a leader and role model for the team, emphasizing the importance of the national team to Canadian players. Eustaquio, now playing for Swansea in England’s second tier, believes the team’s commitment will lead to future successes, including winning a World Cup trophy.",
