Canada has qualified for the 4 of the last 5 tournaments (1997, 2001, 2003, 2005) and made the quarters in 2003 barely losing in extra time to Spain.
You shouldn't judge Canada's performance on 1 single game. They played like crap (I guess having 20 year olds play on Canada Day on national tv wasn't such a good idea afterall, they were so nervous!).
Canada's build-up to the tournament was very good and I expect them to rebound and play much much better in Edmonton on Thusday.
