Herdman made an entire nation believe the fairy tale, and should be fired. Soccer Canada should let him go immediately so we can start the comfortable plunge into of another 3 decades of darkness. Herdman should have constantly drilled the players (and us fans) that we had zero chance of actually competing against the big boys in this tournament with this roster.
Let's not kid ourselves, it's not like Herdman had a Foden (similar) on bench instead. Were tactical errors made regardless, as well as personnel errors? Probably. We know how far this program has come, and we now really see how far we are from actually competing at WC level. If it's someone other than Herdmans job to guide this team in 2026, that's fine. But it would be colossally stupid to make that decision now.
