I tend to watch the post game reactions from external sources like ESPN just to get a feel of the perception that Canada has outside of this nation.
For the most part, they are still treated more like a Panama or Honduras, and they still have the united states and Mexico on a different pedestal.
Taking 8 out of a possible 12 points against those countries in world cup qualifiers was not enough to change that perception, and neither is this run in copa.
Are they the best team in concacaf? I suppose we could argue that the best talent is Davies, and David might be the best at his position, but In totality, I don't think it's the best collection of talent, but they should still be held in bit more of a regard than than they currently are in this region.

Do you know where the Cat 2 tickets are in comparison to CAT 3?
Hard to find for Copa in comparison to the World Cup
I don't see that big of a drop. If we get a large enough group, our 4some will have no issues dropping back to cat 3 so we're all seated together.
Prices are like $50 to $75 difference so far.

For sure! Although the Trinidad game officially clinched us as CONCACAF champions if I recall correctly.We still had a bit of work to do after that game
Anyway. Regardless of exactly where it lands, yesterday’s result is up there. And there was something extra sweet about doing it in front of 50K+ mostly Venezuelan fans.

No one thought we’d get this far, might as well push all the cards in.
Just go for it, nothing to lose, have fun out there and take charge. Show no fear, play your hearts out.
A top 4 finish, no one thought we’d be in this spot.

The US and Mexico didn't really do much either in that tournament.
In fairness though, that was a tough grouping for Canada. Both Morocco and Croatia went very deep in that tournament, and the other team was Belgium who was r more highly regarded than the teams that actually made it through.
With any finishing ability this match is a laugher! In all seriousness it could’ve ended 4-1 or 5-1

Basset skies the penalty kick to tie, pathetic stuff from the Pacific players after the miss.
Shades of Arsenal against Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
Jimmy Brennan still forcing one out. He needs more fiber in his diet.
