So we had a good crop of players, even back then, good enough to qualify for a World Cup.

OK, it didn't happen.

Good enough to compete.

But we also knew what we had to do.

You know, back in 2011, I was on it was on the eve of me becoming the president.

we knew that we have to change the program.

And that's when it started, right?

And so the success you see of this group is really a lot of that has been built over the last

I guess, 10 to 15 years by the people that were there before that built on that, you know, and we have to give credit to those people.

The Stephen Harts of the world, the Benito Flores of the world, obviously John Herdman of the world and everybody, you know, around that.

I would say Canada is in the top 1% of the federations of the world that has had the most success.
