In the end, it was the goalkeeper who got him.
During a postmatch TV interview, Milan Borjan snuck up and doused Canada manager John Herdman with champagne. That he'd stayed dry for so long was a minor miracle considering the occasion. With a 4-0 victory over Jamaica on March 27 in the penultimate match of FIFA World Cup qualification, Canada locked up its place in the World Cup for the first time since the 1986 tournament.
"He deserved this," said Borjan, his trademark sweatpants paired with a "WE CAN" T-shirt and ski goggles to protect against champagne backsplash.
