Canada wins the 2000 Gold Cup in what felt like a big moment for Canadian Soccer.

And then we didn't even make it to the final of the Concacaf qualifying round later that summer and it felt like all that momentum from earlier in the year for Canadian soccer just vanished.
Yes - beds were shat (twice) vs. Trinidad & Tobago who surprisingly topped the semifinal group above Mexico. And then T&T finished last in the Hex.

And no, I didn't do that from memory. All I remember about it was that it was not a good cycle for Canada.
