Sportsnet showed the Gold Cup in 2000 and that should have catapulted the program forward, but the failed 2002 campaign really put the program back 20 years.
The 2-0 loss to T&T in Edmonton 9 months after winning the Gold Cup was the end of that short lived success. With Mexico also in that group, there was no way back. When Canada went to the 2001 Confederations Cup they had no momentum left.
