It’s somewhat ironic that Canada has likely found its way back into the men’s World Cup as part of a “United” bid with the USA and Mexico. Unity, or a lack thereof, after all, has long been an issue that has plagued the sport in this country.
There has been infighting among member associations, leagues that have been created only to subsequently fail and numerous national team coaches with various agendas and visions shepherded in and out.
It has all added up in Canada’s failure to qualify for a World Cup since their lone inclusion in 1986.
