Yeah, I was thinking about that before it happened.

Farhan, I'll just name names.

Farhan, who's been here for everything in Vancouver, said in his hit in our pregame show that it was the biggest event ever in band.

When people ask me the biggest events I've ever covered in my career, 2010 is always number one on my list.

And I mean, I probably need some perspective.

I don't think this passes that because that was a gold medal game in the Olympics in your own country.

This was a second game of group stage.

But I would say that it's going to be in my top three or four, I think, of all time.

Just because of the environment, because of...

You have to understand where Canadian soccer has been.

It's not like Canadian hockey where we're expected to be in gold medal games.

There was a lot of dark decades for that program.

for them to finally get that first win, for it to be at home, for it to be so decisive, like I heard you be just before I came on, it's, Jesse Marr said today that it's the most dominating World Cup performance ever, and which sounds like hyperbole as well, but it's kind of true if you look at the numbers.

I think there was one I heard yesterday that, you know, one of the soccer analytics, there was 97 touches by Canada inside

the box of Qatar and won by Qatar.

And that is just unheard of.

It's, you know, the 32 shots or whatever, you know, I thought I was back doing a Leafs game or something that doesn't happen in soccer.

So, you know,

Like I said, I don't think it can top a gold medal game in the Olympics in your own country.

But like I said, it's right up there on the coolest things that I've ever witnessed.
