Four More Years, Canada

Knight: World Cup reality check
The goal was never to win the World Cup.
The goal – simply – was to qualify.
To do that, Canada needed to build the third, or maybe fourth-best national men’s soccer team in the combined area of North and Central America and the Caribbean.
In practical terms, that meant Canada had to be better than Honduras and/or Costa Rica.
We are not better than Honduras – and because Honduras ended up in our qualifying group along with relatively mighty Mexico, that is going to be fatal.
Four more years, Canada. Four more years.
