TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada have Costa Rica in their crosshairs as they begin their drive towards the 2022 World Cup but coach John Herdman says that with the right preparation they should eventually target regional heavyweights Mexico and the United States.

With the buzz from the Russia World Cup still in the air, Canada was out of the starting blocks quickly by unveiling "The Road to 2022 Begins" campaign this week, which they hope will earn them a ticket to Qatar in four years' time.
