Absolutely, it helps. But if Canada's woes are due to population and climate, a country like Sweden (with 1/3 of Canada's population and a similar climate) shouldn't have qualified for 4 World Cups since Canada last qualified for one.
Just thinking about Canada's place in the soccer world makes me grumpy. Let's focus on teams that weren't eliminated nearly as soon as they stepped on the pitch.
