Canada .... (1)2 .... USA .... (0)0
Tim Horton’s Field, Hamilton, Ontario.
John Herdman’s Canada will be in Qatar in November. Of that there is very little doubt.
It’s not yet mathematically confirmed but with four rounds of qualifying fixtures remaining it would take a collapse of monumental proportions - and then some, to stop the Maple Leaf.
Yesterday in Hamilton their amazingly smooth and trouble-free run through this Octagonal reached it’s zenith by dumping the old enemy, USA, 2-0.
Yesterday’s outcome was not achieved without much hard work and some anxiety, but despite considerably less possession against arguably a more talented squad, Canada played smarter, scored when it mattered and carried off the honours.
