Hope they can get one point in Panama - a win at home to Cuba will almost certainly put them through then. I think greater attention from the national press will come if the results do. Also TSN and Sportsnet always bury properties they don't own, TSN doesn't support or cover the nats so that doesn't surprise me a whole lot (even if it is bush league).
In other CMNT news, Steven Vitoria, who quit Canada for Portugal on the eve of the World u-20 championship in his hometown in Canada a few years back, has become a pretty good starting CB in the Portugese top league and is talking about switching back to Canada.
The amount of mercenary behavior at the international level is pretty sickening... he is a very good young player though, for this cycle and the next.
I suspect the deeper Canada goes in qualifying the more plastic patriots will come out of the woodwork.
