Monday Smile: Canada sends Bafana packing but can’t find its own bags

Canada international and Celtic defender Alistair Johnston took to social media on July 6 to lament his travel woes after ending up in the wrong city without his luggage following Canada's World Cup exit.

"Learned my lesson today. Never fly @FlyFrontier even if it's the only direct flight available. Genuinely look for multi-stop redeye flights before flying with them. I'm still not sure where my bags are and I'm in the wrong city somehow," he wrote.

The travel mishap followed Canada’s historic World Cup campaign, in which the team earned its first-ever World Cup point against Bosnia and Herzegovina, thrashed Qatar 6-0 and, to South African fans’ frustration, knocked Bafana Bafana out of the tournament, only to lose their next match against Morocco and crash out themselves. Johnston featured in all five matches, according to The Scottish Sun.

The question on everyone's lips, including those of the Canadian Men's National Team is: where on Earth did they send him?

Johnston has yet to share whether he has been reunited with his luggage.
