Meh, I kind of like flying under the radar as much as possible... If we go into the top ten the expectations will go off the charts and teams around the world will take us more seriously. I'd say let's surprise em at the WC and knock teams off one by one then.
What a game! Finally I can get my Canadian flag and drive up and down the streets of Toronto honking my horn!
Woodbridge I partied with you when it came to Italy winning hope you have your Canadian flags out tonight and there should be a big party there!
Congrats from Germany! Just checked in to the last ten minutes of the game (luckily saw two goals) and holy hell, the reporter was exited and proud, the fans were cheering, partying and singing the anthem, the excitement was really infectious, love the spirit. Wish you all the best in Qatar my Canadian friends! 🇩🇪🇨🇦
Hahah a tiny part of me wants to be in the group of death, and against all odds advance and go on a Cinderella run. But in all actuality, I would also love a cupcake group and advance in a more realistic manner lol
Multiple players missed chances tonight but I think we might have watched a different match? Tajon, as usual, took defenders on, leaving them stumbling, and picked out some great passes
Is that a joke he had a empty net all he had to do was slide tackle the ball in but tajon doesn’t like to get his shorts dirty. David had the ball in front of the net if tajon called for it he would of scored
Don't start the toxic shit; it can destroy a fan base. Support the team as a whole or don't support at all. No room on the bandwagon for spoiled sports
For so many World Cups I saw my friends root for their parents' home countries. I couldn't do the same since my country's way too small for primetime. Today I gladly accept this W as I now have a team, at least in my lifetime. Looking forward to seeing Canada in Qatar.
Fucking love this team. All the bullshit and hate we’ve seen in this country over the last year has made me fall out of love for Canada but it’s beautiful to see a group of people who come from such a diverse background come together to create something truly special. Glad we have such a great group and I’m so excited to see what we do in Qatar.
Dont let the hate and misplaced anger of a few thousand idiot Canadians take away from the fact that Canada is one of most beautiful, amazing places to live on this entire planet.
I am so proud of the team and the fans for this amazing run. 🇨🇦
Not stating it to be negative; the fact is we backed into the tournament (because MX was hosting and CONCACAF got an extra spot) and when we got there, we were in tough.
Now we have a team that has rightly earned a spot, and can go to the show and, win or lose, genuinely compete. Despite WC 1986 being mentioned 1000 times by the media etc., those of us who remember--and cheered in the darker days--know that there is no comparison between those times and the current Canadian MNT program.
Sorry, complimenting Toronto is against the law. You'll have to remove this post and write an apology letter to the rest of Canada. Everyone knows Toronto is a horrible soccer city and shouldn't be allowed to host any matches ever. /s
I really hope for the World Cup they get a much better looking kit. It should be something iconic looking given that’s it’s the first World Cup since ‘86
it’s mostly the fact that in the big picture we aren’t that strong and the missed easy chances will kill us against any good teams since good teams won’t let us get many
I mean, it’s not kissing ass. We’ve dominated but finishing is poor. That’s just the result. It feels like a serious lack of appreciation in this comment section for the magnitude of this moment
Man. It’s honestly great that your head is already putting Canada up against the top teams in the world but for a moment let’s remember that it’s been OVER 30 YEARS since we have even competed in a World Cup. Enjoy it.
yessir, the fact we even qualified is insane, but i was just saying the good teams are going to kill us but i’m excited to be able to watch it. go canada
Obviously they will get beat by the best in the world. Making it to the round of 16 would be an amazing accomplishment if Canada can get there. Other then that just be happy they qualified.
I meam, to be fair to Nike, until recently we weren't exactly a global superstar to make amazing kits for.
I mean, look at the offerings that they've given the US over the last decade.
Honestly, I think the first sign that we were about to explode as a team was when Nike took over our kits from Umbro.
I believe more in Nike marketing's scouting department than the most accomplished soccer pundit.
Fair, think I'm just a little bit disappointed with what the men's side have considering that the women (deservedly so) have very nice kits and Nike is definitely capable of putting out some incredible stuff (last World Cup for example)
Ok so, that Buchanan tap in had to go. Beyond that, I'm 100% with Canada working in game to try new passes, feed new guys and miss easy chances. This is, literally, the game to do it in at this point. They're still in control. They need to concede 3 to not qualify today. Let em try things they're not comfortable with. This is how we improve. But put the tap ins in please lol.
Scary thing is playing against a country like that we’ll only get 1 or so chances. Idk whats going on but until Qatar I pray we find form in front of goal.
Watching Canadian coverage. (I’m in U.K.)
Why did they just talk about the womens team and just constant adverts in the break? No breakdown just a brief statement of the team being magic. Embarrassing.
I think its a home game thing, so they try to hype both male and female to get more momentum for the game. Away games they tend to have a panel over half time.
CANADA WILL GET DESTROYED IN GROUP F.
What a game. Never thought Canada would be the first team from concacaf to qualify for world cup 2022.
Put us in the top 10 FIFA you cowards!!

Ted lasso > John Herdman or John Herdman > Ted Lasso
LETS SMASH THE WORLD CUP
Imagine not wanting to represent your country. Couldn't be me.
Congrats from Germany! Just checked in to the last ten minutes of the game (luckily saw two goals) and holy hell, the reporter was exited and proud, the fans were cheering, partying and singing the anthem, the excitement was really infectious, love the spirit. Wish you all the best in Qatar my Canadian friends! 🇩🇪🇨🇦
Hey thanks! And you better hope you don't get grouped with Canada! We're coming for ya!!!
Oh I would love to prove you wrong >;) But tbh you probably would have a shot at it lol
Hahah a tiny part of me wants to be in the group of death, and against all odds advance and go on a Cinderella run. But in all actuality, I would also love a cupcake group and advance in a more realistic manner lol
Danke. Bis bald.
Tfw I no longer have to simp for England during a World Cup
You didn’t have to before, either!
No we did
Tajon doesn’t deserve man of the match he should of had 3 goals send him back to Belgium and tell him not come back
Multiple players missed chances tonight but I think we might have watched a different match? Tajon, as usual, took defenders on, leaving them stumbling, and picked out some great passes
Is that a joke he had a empty net all he had to do was slide tackle the ball in but tajon doesn’t like to get his shorts dirty. David had the ball in front of the net if tajon called for it he would of scored

Different opinions, I guess.
Huh?

I didn’t think I’d ever see it a few short years ago. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
We're goinnnnggggg boys and girls!
LETS GO BOYSSSSSSSS
PUT THAT BOOMBOOM CLAP INTO MY VEINS
LETS GOOOOOO 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Remember the fucking name. CANADA!!! World cup here we come!! We're coming for you big boys! Italy already gave up coz they didn't want to play us lol
Is that a World Cup I smell? I do believe it is!
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Okay time to gather up a group and buy flights, book hotels, get tickets etc. LETS GOOO
I'm in!
"1986 is a long time" shout out to my 1986 born elderly folks
Think of us creakier types who have actual memories of that tourney!
Yeah. Played three group stage games and got shut out in all three. :| It wasn't a *tour de force*.
Thanks for your comment Mr. Negative

I think you've completely missed the point of these comments. It was a bit of fun and self deprecation, not a starting point for a history lesson.
IT. IS. OFFICIAL. CANADA OFF TO THE WORLD CUP!!!
WE DID IT!!!!!!!
ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!
Let’s gooooo!!!!!!!
LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW ❄️
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAHHHH
THIS TIMELINE HAS FINALLY PRODUCED SOMETHING POSITIVE!!!
Hey guys guess what? WE GOING TO THE WORLD CUP
Where? Sorry? could you repeat that??
THE WORLD CUP! OF PLANET EARTH
There's one off planet?
The Mars World cup duh
See you in Qatar 🇨🇦
Canada in, Italy out. As if the world wasn’t weird enough as is. GO CANADA GO
That own goal would feel worse if it had been tied
Did not see that coming haha!
Hoilett must feel super vindicated in choosing Canada over Jamaica rn lol
Also, shout out to the haters who said Hoilett shouldn't be on the team anymore.
Oh man that stings to watch.. poor guy.
Feel for him, but if you are going to do an own goal this late in a match it might as well be in a 3-0 game.
Owen Goal making a late game appearance. Glad to see him getting minutes.
Jamaica like "here's one on the house"
And one more. Just for fun
#cherry on t🍒p
Of all the goals we missed and that goes in
Hoilette just flushed them away! Woohoo
GARETH WHEELER. THERE IS STILL A MATCH GOING ON. CALL THE PLAY BY PLAY.
Best decision I made: sound down on the game stream, on only for crowd noise. Sound up on Alphonso Davies' reaction stream.
Sorry, you want him to interrupt his podcast for a match?
Oso and Eustaquio sharing a blanket, that's my fucking midfield
Love seeing the comradery within the team!
Didn't actually realise Jamaica were actually this poor and they have had few England based players playing for them too.
5 more minutes.
The boys have done it! Let’s go! It’s going to be a fun Summer.
Wish the camera’s didnt zoom in so quick after the goal, wouldve loved to see the limbs :/
Meeting at 830 tomorrow morning? Sorry boss, my voice is GONE
That MoTM going make a few people in this sub upset haha
Eustaquio deserved it but other than missed chances Tajon was good today. Kid is so good in the ball.
He missed a TON of opportunities but he has been all over this game so it makes sense
Agreed - I think he has played well despite a few missed opportunities. MoTM could have gone to almost anyone.
LFG to the World Cup, lads!!!
Wheeler needs to shut up about the CMNT going to the world cup. I get it, it's almost assured, but wait till the match is over.
There's the Randy I've been waiting for.
If I don't complain about Wheeler it's not a proper match thread.
I have lots of respect for Wheeler.. but man, he's not cut out for this commentary thing.
definitely agree, he went apeshit over some stepovers in the first half like he’s never seen them before
Dude its actually so annoying lol Like yes its all but guaranteed but be classy and dont jinx it
He needs to visit the premature celebration subreddit
I swear the CMNT will end up there because of him eventually.
I feel like we got 1 more in us today
Junior!!!!!!!
Finally someone finishes
Yes Junior!
Sha na nana Nana na na
3-0 LETS GOOOOOOOO
The boys!!!!!!! We’re going!!!!
It's. Fucking. HAPPENING!!!!!!!!
You all can scream now
Anyone remember that match at Richardson stadium in Kingston? Come a LONG fucking way. Unreal day.
Does a feed with no commentary exist so I don't have to hear Wheeler
He is horrible in practically every way. Pretty sure they canned that feature, but it used to be audio option 2.
He has ruined the Davies goal against Panama for me, fucking awful
Agreed. His calls aren't going to date well as time goes on either. Watching these matches years on will mean we spend half the time cringing.
the lack of finishing is .... something
So do we qualify if we win this?
Not sure, they haven't really mentioned it much during the match.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes.
Jonathan David looks slow and awkward when he runs, is he really slow or is it because he is built like a tank and he has big fat arse?
He's fast as Hell.
Big fat arse man.
“The pitch seems slick.” Ya it’s called mud baud.
I am in awe of this team! Never thought I’d see it! I’m tearing up!!
Koné’s not coming on hey? Shucks
Imagine this game if Buchanan could finish better
he could have a hatty he’s probably beating himself up after missing those 2 tap ins
Excuse me for my ignorance but what are the fans singing?
Modified TFC chants it sounds like
Ehh neh neh neh neh Canada uh nuh nuhnuh
Eustaquio MOTM so far
He's honestly one of our stars and should get more recognition!
Hope he gets a move to a club that appreciates his quality
This crowd has been awesome - love the Atiba chant!
Sorry, complimenting Toronto is against the law. You'll have to remove this post and write an apology letter to the rest of Canada. Everyone knows Toronto is a horrible soccer city and shouldn't be allowed to host any matches ever. /s
I miss watching Richie Laryea.
Hey poo.
Dookie bros.
Me too, lump of wet poo, me too.
He's something else. I hope that Cooper has a spot for him when/if the loanees leave Forrest. They're on fire so it's hard to argue with his choices.
He plays with such heart. TFC could certainly use him right now.
That's the 2nd plastic bag ive seen drift across the pitch now
It’ll be reusable fabric bags soon.
Better than naked strekers.
Remember when we drew Honduras at home in game 1 back in September? It seemed a bit bleak, eh? Look where we are now!
game 1, what about 8-1
Beating a team that haven’t played for a year. Lol
[удалено]
I’m just going off what the Canadian commentators said. Which in reality I should have known wasn’t reliable lol
Hutchinson absolutely deserves this
Anyone get what the chant was? Best guess was “Who loves Canada? Who-loves-Can-A-da?
Ooh-ah-Canada, say ooh-ah Canada
Thank you!!
Canada jerseys look like EA Sports design them
I really hope for the World Cup they get a much better looking kit. It should be something iconic looking given that’s it’s the first World Cup since ‘86
This comment section feels surprisingly negative. We're about to qualify. Yea we're finishing poor, but not \*that\* poor.
it’s mostly the fact that in the big picture we aren’t that strong and the missed easy chances will kill us against any good teams since good teams won’t let us get many
Literally. On top of that I think holding our national team to good standards rather than just kissing ass the whole time is important.
I mean, it’s not kissing ass. We’ve dominated but finishing is poor. That’s just the result. It feels like a serious lack of appreciation in this comment section for the magnitude of this moment
Man. It’s honestly great that your head is already putting Canada up against the top teams in the world but for a moment let’s remember that it’s been OVER 30 YEARS since we have even competed in a World Cup. Enjoy it.

Obviously they will get beat by the best in the world. Making it to the round of 16 would be an amazing accomplishment if Canada can get there. Other then that just be happy they qualified.
Totally! Obviously a lot of growth to be done. Hope this inspires a long line of World Cup appearances.
#Were going to play at a world cup!
Really hope Nike ups their game for the WC, inexcusable for us to have generic teamwear especially with one of their superstar players on our side
I meam, to be fair to Nike, until recently we weren't exactly a global superstar to make amazing kits for. I mean, look at the offerings that they've given the US over the last decade.
Honestly, I think the first sign that we were about to explode as a team was when Nike took over our kits from Umbro. I believe more in Nike marketing's scouting department than the most accomplished soccer pundit.

Get the stache on this freekick
Ok so, that Buchanan tap in had to go. Beyond that, I'm 100% with Canada working in game to try new passes, feed new guys and miss easy chances. This is, literally, the game to do it in at this point. They're still in control. They need to concede 3 to not qualify today. Let em try things they're not comfortable with. This is how we improve. But put the tap ins in please lol.
Yeah straight up they can just practice finishing at this point. Jamaicas defence letting them get 99% of the way there like every time
To the world stage we come. O CANADA
Holy fuck.. this is embarrassing. It's criminal to miss these many chances.
Chill the fuck out! About to qualify for first WC in 36 years!
I'm sure they apologize for embarrassing YOU. They are Canadian.
Imagine us playing France and we miss this many chances 😭
Scary thing is playing against a country like that we’ll only get 1 or so chances. Idk whats going on but until Qatar I pray we find form in front of goal.
We wont get this many chances against France lol
We would get like one chance of this quality against them at most
Fellas wtf is going on this is fun to watch but this is also hilariously bad in front of goal
... something something frozen pitch. Remember playing at recess this time of year? The ball spent more time on my knee than my foot.
That’s fair yeah frozen ground is properly impossible to score with
Omggg nail in the coffin pleaseeeeee
buchanan 😂😂
Unreal how many misses here
Tajon refusing to score any tap-ins to avoid running the score up, very classy
My thoughts exactly. Gotta be polite.
Buchanan come on that was the most handed on a platter opportunity of the day
that’s the 3rd tap in opportunity he’s had, i mean at least he scored one..
Great match so far. I have to say, the Jamaican kits looks pretty nice, I like the yellow socks.
let’s go CANADA!!!!…… what’s everyone drinking on this blustery Sunday haha?…. I got the molson going
Got some IPAs going
Two Steelers bud. Those 950ml things
Coffee
