Makes me feel a little better about Canada's exit - two of that group are in the semis...so that was the toughest group in the qualifying it appears. Or at least two of the four teams that were hitting their form

It appears this way in hind sight, but before the tournament started, no one thought Canada was in a bad position. Morocco was seen as beatable and Belgium was seen as a team on the decline, and Canada as a team on the rise. Many people figured Canada stood a good chance to get through in that group relative to other groups. I will say that Canada deserved better, especially against Belgium.
