Yeah, the 84 to 94 period was really good but it's been so dire since then. Finally we have a great team to cheer for. I think directly or indirectly the Vancouver Olympics turned all Canadian sports around. New culture and attitude of sports development in Canada and you can see it in soccer, tennis and basketball as an example.
Not only does Canada need to make the World Cup to get momentum but it will rise them up the rankings. FIFA is a vicious cycle. You play bad, you get a bad ranking, you get bad seeding and draws and then you play bad. Rinse and repeat. Remember, if not for COVID, Canada would have been relegated to a minnows tournament.
