But given the goal differential being so favorable for Canada, this, for all intents and purposes...

gets them into the knockout stage.

The only way teams are going to pass them is if Canada loses by like, I don't know, six or seven against Switzerland and Bosnia wins by like eight.

And it changes the goal differential, right?

It's not impossible, but let's just say that the likelihood of that happening is 0.00001%.

Are we dreaming here?

Are we talking about things?

Can we also combine another thing?

It really does.

And I mean, to your point the other day, do they just play for the draw?

And at the same time,

Switzerland is going to need to win that match to be able to pass Canada.

So Switzerland, as much as they want to get in and make sure that they, you know, are getting into the knockout stage, they have to win to win the group.

So I'm not sure this is going to be a handshake agreement.

Yeah, which is just astonishing.

thinking of this as somebody who grew up in canada and as a sports fan who never through my formative sports years especially my teenage years saw anything of any consequence from canada outside of that one miraculous gold cup victory that they had out of nowhere not only did i never think we were going to see a world cup in canada i never thought we see canada win a match in the world cup i never thought we put six on a team six nothing and and who cares about the context right like

No, it just seemed like such a pipe dream that I never thought of it as an actual possibility.

It just never seemed like this is something that was going to be real for us as Canadians to watch the men's team

Okay, it's one thing to get to a World Cup.

It's another to host a World Cup.
