No one thinks this.
During qualifying rounds, there are weak teams in each group, however, the level of competition that teams face, varies greatly. No one disputes that.
However, it is none the less amazing that Canada - a team that has been a doormat forever, even in the weak CONCACAF - should suddenly mange to score goals so prolifically. Neither Mexico nor the US were able to do so, facing the same competition.
It is okay to enjoy a stat without trying to #### all over it, or all over the other people enjoying it.
