It's the aspirational value of home World Cup games and a group of guys that have been slowly building up to this crescendo, this point in their careers where...

let's face it, not a lot's going to get better for these guys.

And playing in the Red of Canada, in Toronto or in Vancouver in the home World Cup, it's the pinnacle.

So they need to be at their best and they've got to go out there and play at their maximum.

If they do that, I've no doubt they get out of the group.

I've got to say I'm a little apprehensive about the atmosphere in the stadiums especially the first game in Toronto the tickets were too expensive in my opinion it's took away a bit of the sort of magic of the World Cup I would say helped some of these ticket prices I'm not so sure that genuine fans that normal football watching people are going to be at these games I think it's priced a lot of families out of the market a lot of kids

from going to these games, I think it's only for a select few.

So I'm a bit worried what that does to the atmosphere.

Usually when a World Cup comes around, it is special and it is amazing, but I don't think FIFA have got this one right.

I think that they should have been more cognizant of the fact that prices in the past have been reasonable.

I know they're talking about dynamic market and a North American market and

none of that matters to me this is the FIFA World Cup it's a global competition and it should be capped at a certain level so everybody can experience it so we'll see what it's like but ultimately we need that crowd to be pro-Canadian we need everyone to be absolutely behind the team and that sort of extra man that support for the crowd

is going to be vital to Canada's success because there's going to be moments of adversity.

There's going to be moments when they're doing well and they have momentum and the crowd adding that extra bit of value, as we all know playing sport, just gives you that little push over the line and can really be a difference maker.

Tell us.

Well, the World Cup is so special, O-Dog.

Even I can be disciplined when it comes to that.

It just put off the drinking for a couple of months, you know.

So it would be Coca-Cola.

Not even Coca-Cola.
