Great story from @JohnMolinaro on the last time the CMNT was this close to the World Cup …just maybe read it after you’ve had lunch. Video by @stevetzemis #longreads
The Canadian men’s team has a legitimate chance to qualify for next year's FIFA World Cup in Qatar The last time a Canadian men's team came close to qualifying for the World Cup (1998), the opponents on the pitch were the least of their worries https://t.co/4BfZnDCFOd
