So the actions of the opposition's fans and not the abilities, or lack thereof, of our players is the reason why Canada hasn't been in the HEX since '97? If the States wasn't qualifying with relative ease then your theory might hold some water. However, I think it is quite clear that the best way to beat these countries would be to ensure that we assemble teams with a sufficient amount of quality.
Basically, we need to elevate our game not bring it down to their level.
