So I'm sure it'll be rocking, I'm sure it'll be sold out, but I think it might have hit...

I don't want to say a peak because there's a possibility of around a 16, and I think that takes out all potential scheduling issues.

But that would also be noon on a weekday.

So I think the pre-match lead-up in the March might be a little bit smaller, but inside the stadium, it is going to be tense, I think.

I think last time it was just a party until the Kony injury, whereas this time it will be tense.

This is the biggest game that Canadian men's soccer has ever played.

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

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

kind of thing.

So 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, I mean, Portugal has to do a little bit better.

But if you get to round of 16 against Portugal, whether you like Ronaldo or not, 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 to two.

Like playing a home game in a world cup is not something that happens for most teams ever.

And Canada is 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.

Like, I think it matters a ton because sometimes you like, you will have fans at world cup games and,
