Canada National Thread

Another good thing is if one sport lags for a while then others can compensate. I'm not sure what to think of the men (outside of athletics). It's not like they have been completely off the map, they have several top 8 finishes and it can't be a coincidence that they are having an off period in almost all of the sports.

Yes, the worst Canada can do is 4th in their group.  Right now they are 3rd and losing to Poland (expected) and if Japan beats Iran they'll move ahead of them so Canada finishes 4th.  If Iran wins they'll be tied with Canada for 3rd, but I believe the tie-breaker is head-to-head and Canada won that match up so they'd finish 3rd.  Either way the quarterfinal will be a very tough match up.

sweet all they need is to get to the quarters and anything can happen though

[orangeman 1,991]

Meanwhile there's a good chance that the basketball ladies will not make the quarters at all.
