Canada Freeze Out Mexico in Ice-teca...

Wed, Nov 17, 2021 - Edmonton, Alberta.

After eight rounds of CONCACAF’s World Cup qualifying hexagonal, Canada sit proudly top of the pile, remaining as the only unbeaten nation.

Last night in Edmonton’s freezing temperatures regional heavyweights Mexico became the latest victim of the Herdman Revolution, losing to Les Rouges for the first time in 21 years. It’s actually 45 years since Canada defeated the same opponent in World Cup play!

No longer a nation bullied by CONCACAF powerhouses or self-pitied through dodgy WC refereeing decisions, Canada has built a sturdy platform from which to very seriously contemplate a first WC qualification since 1986.
