That worked out favorably in my mind for Canada.
It is always hard to play against the host country, but Brazil is traditionally the better team.
You have to think that US/GB/Can/NZ is the easier side of the bracket compared to Fra/Bra/Swe/Jpn
Looking at the world rankings.
U.S 1
Great Britain (England) 9
Canada 7
New Zealand 23
Japan 3
Sweden 4
Brazil 5
France 6
Now we just need a big game against GB and if only New Zealand can upset the Americans...
