Legitimately trying not to cry right now.
I remember 8-1 to Honduras. Celebrating the 2000 Gold Cup.
Holy f*** Canada is going to the World Cup

I don't think I've rolled my eyes harder in my life than after I read this.

Why?
You don't fully support them?
I was under the impression that I was the only one in Canada that didn't support them.

Last time Canada qualified for the WC I was 24. Now I'm retired. Think about that kind of time frame. Wasn't sure I'd ever see Canada back in a WC, but kind of tells you how special this is. How rare it is.
Just figured I'd put that in as a signpost for context.
Enjoy the WC future, looks like Canada will have much more of a part in it. A longtime coming.

Hopefully Canada gets lucky and avoids the group of death. Germany is in pot 2, I don’t think anyone wants to be in a group with Germany and one of Brazil/France/Argentina etc
Hopefully, if they beat Panama, there could be a chance to move into Pot 3. For some unknown reason, they dropped 13 points in the loss to Costa Rica. That put them in 36th place in the FIFA rankings.

36th according to the live rankings. That doesn't include today's game.

I remember starting this thread. At the time, I was hopeful but cautious. 1000+ posts later, here we are.
It's a beautiful thing.

It's really incredible when at the beginning I would've been happy if we had finished 4th or 5th because that would've been massive progress for the Men's team. Now, like you said, 1000+ posts later there's a very good chance we finish top of the table.

Final game of the qualifying cycle, and from what I’ve read a Canada win secures Pot 3 in the WC group draw on Friday.
Panama really choked away a WC spot over the last 4 games and have been eliminated. They could be fielding their B team today.
It’ll be interesting to see what kind of lineup Herdman goes with.

Can someone explain how 5 games of the world cup would disrupt the Eskimos so badly in 2026?
Can they not just play on the road those games if there is a scheduling conflict? I can't see why the Elks or the CFL would care if it's going to mean upgrades to facilities.

Funny thing is there is VAR in the game and it still wasn’t even deemed significant enough to review.
Forgot that the game was on. Looking like they'll finish first but only by goal difference. I guess Panama thought this game was far more important than the farce against the US.
