I mean, I'm probably not going to see it again in my lifetime either.

The opportunity to play up to a quarterfinal, effectively, at BC Place for this Canadian Men's National Team with a coach like Jesse Marsh, with a team like this players, this is

I think more than once in a lifetime.

I don't know if this ever happens again, period.

With, you know, where Vancouver is when it comes to stadiums, where Canadian soccer is, who knows what the future holds.

Like, I don't think this team goes back to 122nd in the world, but I don't know if this is a team that, you know, the next generation is going to be as good as

kind of thing so get get leaving this opportunity on the table would be a disaster i'd be prepared to say just because this is such a golden ticket to maybe not i'm saying they're winning the round of 16 but heck if i mean portugal has to do a little bit better but if you get to around a 16 against portugal whether you like ronaldo or not like

I think we'd all be fine losing that game because that would be Canada's World Cup final.

And I think it will be because the host nations in this tournament have outscored their opponent 16-2.

It's been a real advantage.

Playing a home game in a World Cup is not something that happens for most teams ever.

And Canada's getting the chance to do it at least until this game.

And if they come out of this game on the right side of things, then they get to do it a couple more times.

I think it matters a ton because sometimes you will have fans at World Cup games.

but it's at most half the stadium.

Like, this is going to be 50,000 Canadian fans and maybe 4,000 Swiss fans where you're not going to be able to hear Switzerland.

The weird dynamic is going to be Switzerland's wearing red, the stadium will be red, and Canada's wearing white.

So, unfortunately, that's the way it was planned out before the tournament.

It's about the same.

I mean, it's red and white.
