 John Herdman is the first coach to lead a men’s and women’s national team to FIFA World Cup Qualification. Fun fact!

Not as amusing as Canada being the only nation to win men’s and women’s Olympic gold in football (just, please, don’t look too deeply into how we won gold in men’s football)

the qualification in CONCACAF is almost done and dusted. USA and MEX still need few more days to qualify officially but with this GD difference they are already qualified (for US it's 100%, not even 99%)

 

and CRC also secured the playoff place against NZL (or Solomon Islands)

 

both USA and Mexico will be in pot 2 for the draw.

Canada most probably will be in pot 4 and I believe they are one of the best teams in this pot.

Mexico can still be in pot 1 if they win their last game, Netherlands doesn't beat Germany in a friendly and (most importantly) Portugal loses.  

  

Ofc the chance of Portugal losing is like 10% but it's still there.

If :CRC beats :USA, and :MEX wins, :USA will be in pot 4 right?

It's over. I can't even compute this. My parents weren't even married yet the only time Canada had qualified for the World Cup. Every qualification cycle was just more disappointing than the last growing up.

 

But now :CAN is going to the world cup, almost certainly as the top team in CONCACAF. I can't believe it.

Mexico 1986...I still remember Canada losing their opening match only 1-0 against France, thanks to a late JPP (Jean Pierre Papin) goal...

 

not many memories of the games against Soviet Union and Hungary, though...

All loses and no goals.

 

Canada is the only country to also host a FIFA event and not score a goal (iirc). Very bad luck on the men's side. Hoping for at least 3 points this time around

    • Earthquake in San francisco , not strong but yeah mixed to fire looks like dancing Samba           
    • I feel like the shooting coaches are doing something terribly wrong. A good example is Hanna Öberg who started her career as best in the individual event (where shooting is more important) winning 1 olympic and 2 world titles despite not being a very good skiier. Suddenly she was one of the better skiiers (not this season) but very unstable shooter.    i think they practice to little on competition-like circumstances and too little in bad weather conditions too. And maybe need mental help. The coaches when interviewed have been talking for years how good Ponsilouma is at shooting both during off-season training and in the pre-race warm up shooting. Still terrible shooter in competition even if some of his very few successes have been in the most important races
    • As a Mediterranean, it makes me very strange that Prague is not included in the project. Usually the Czech Republic is one of the pivots of Visegrad/Mitteleuropa. Am I missing something or some political controversy between the IOC and the Czech NOC?
    • many celebrities lost houses of 30 millions $ like paris hilton  This bastrd of james wood said we gonna exterminate Palestinians because they are poor ...now he is crying like a btch of losing his house   
    • This is winter , image how will be their summer T'chrump said we gonna burn the middle east to please the husband "Satanyahu" ...apparently his ass is burnning first   
    • Nah, I don't think that we'll have some problems.
    • The last time this happened - all three athletes on the podium had zero podiums before - was Les Saisies sprint in December 1990: Uschi Disl, Elena Melnikova (future Sergei Tchepikov's wife) & Kerstin Moring. The latter two never finished on the World Cup podium again. This was also the race where Disl became the second youngest World Cup winner ever (currently down to third because of Neuner).
    • In general almost all Fisi sports have been doing terribly this season. One debacle after another and the Colturi case completes the scale of embarrassment. Apart from single star like Goggia, Brignone or Pellegrino, only the alpine snowboard looks good.
    • Unfortunately the Italian men's team is poorly prepared for the season. Everyone is in terrible shooting form. Somewhere a mistake was made in the preparations. We are recording a big regression compared to the previous season. It`s becoming more and more likely that we will not stand on the podium even once this season (I can't remember the last time something like that happened). In the Nations Cup we are in 6th place and we may lose 6 starting places in the World Cup from next season. I`m increasingly worried about what will happen in the Olympic season. Without Vittozzi returning to top form, we completly will not count.    In general our entire winter season looks very bad: biathlon as above, cross-country skiing - still only Pellegrino, luge - poor form, alpine skiing without Goggia and Brignone doesn`t exist.
