I'm not even Canadian and I feel it for you guys. This must be a dream for those of you who have been following Canadian soccer for most of your lives and in @Drivesaitl case, the last century of Canadian soccer.
I’ll send you the citizenship test tomorrow.
Sure thing but hold off until the Covid restrictions are lifted so lets say, 2025?

Sometimes miracles
Undefeated in 10 matches and 4 pts up on both the US and Mexico, amazing stuff

Next game isn't for a long while.
Big unusual way to W for Canada. Game was a sleeper but tha goal was funny and the David goal at the end was more poetry.
Hats off to the El Salvador coach and players post game basically commending the Canadian team, and coach and a rare moment you don't see often in Central America. Canada was respected on the pitch during the game, and after the game. Its possible to lose with class and much better that way.
Another big thing about winning the group, and moving up the FIFA rankings, is that come the 2030 CONCACAF qualifiers, Canada will be in the hexagonal and would only compete in the final round. None of this taking chances against lower teams.

Yeah, their players circled around Herdman to congratulate him after the game. It was pretty cool to see.

The coach pointing in Herdmans chest as well. Saying its you. Yeah I saw that. Herdman deferring but the coach kept being emphatic with the love. I think due to the way Canada play, and the skill on the pitch, they're earning a lot of friends in Concacaf. I mean even the US coach wants us qualifying. We're Iceland, but better, everybody loves us now.
You could see the game wanted to start out as a chippy affair and the crowded were seeking blood, throwing bottles, but as it progressed, and into the 2nd half there was no real animosity. By the time the game was over and David and scored it was like Canada had won the crowd and the opponent over. Nice scenes post game. Like I say I've rarely seen anything like this from Central America in a game. Usually you get bags of piss thrown at you. lol
They did on purpose cut out the audio though for awhile in first half as they didn't like some of the chants from the crowd. That was weird.

We could win every game in Concacaf final and that wouldn't happen. The world rankings tend not to be that adaptable, and so much on reputation.

Glad you’re starting to jump on the Herdman bus.
The Hutchinson goal is without a doubt the most Canadian goal I can imagine in a world cup qualifier.
You get it behind their D, win the race, throw it to the net and crash the crease, you make havoc for their goaltender and good things happen.
That's hock... soccer for you.

Well I'm honest enough to say what an opponent coach was quite clearly acknowledging. I mean he's telling Herdman he's the man. Don't need a translation there.

You're forgetting the fact that like 8-10 UEFA countries ahead of us in the rankings won't be qualifying. Add in a few with CAF and CONMEBOL. If we go down to let's say 32ish in the rankings by winning the region, we become a pot 3 team by virtue of others missing

Well yeah they're a total joke but ultimately that's how pots are decided.
