Would having a World Class manager help? Yes. Is the lack of a 12th man at home an issue that should be considered? Yes. Are either of these two issues THE problem? No.

We need to stop spending so much of our efforts focusing on creating an environment where our players can preform at their peak and instead focus on raising that peak and the level Canadian footballers are able to preform at. It doesn't matter if the coach knows how to get 120% out of his squad and if his players don't even know how to pass the bloody football.

While England has hired a brilliant manager, they have also been working tirelessly on creating a knowledge management system that provides coaches at the grassroots level with sufficient coaching knowledge. This helps the coaches with knowing how and what to teach children in order for them to master the necessary footballing skills. While South American teams have fanatical support and some of the most intimidating parks for visiting teams, they also created and play futsal. A game that has helped develop many of their technically gifted players.
