You can see something where against Bosnia, against Qatar, against Switzerland, where they have a good defense performance, but maybe there's some breakdowns for whatever reason.

It's nice to know that your goalkeeper will be there to clean up those messes.

And that just makes Canada stronger defensively because they can take more risks.

They can play even more aggressive knowing that the guy behind them, they have full confidence in what he can do.

See, for me, I would say that's the bare minimum.

I know that might sound, you know, a lot for, like you mentioned, a country that hasn't won a World Cup game, that doesn't even have a World Cup point.

They only have two World Cup goals.

But I think you have to be realistic.

You're a host, right?

You're playing on home soil.

That's always going to be an advantage in football and soccer, the sport.

You have an easy drop.

Not to say, you know, and I'll be clear with this, Bosnia, Qatar, and Switzerland, that's not easy teams, but relative to what you could have gotten, it's an easy draw.

It could have been a lot worse.

Yeah, absolutely.

You have to look at this as an opportunity.

And the reality is on paper, Canada has every tool imaginable to beat Bosnia, Qatar, same thing.

And even Switzerland, like Canada can compete with Switzerland.

This isn't four years ago, eight years ago, where you're thinking, wow, like they were always going to get a good pot to team.

Switzerland is one that on paper.
