A lot of paper has already gone to waste as a result of today’s Gold Cup quarterfinal. A number of TV pundits here in Canada have already jokingly talked about throwing out their show notes, and you can expect John Herdman did a fair amount of recycling as well.
Canada was always a very good bet to get to this stage of the tournament. However, everyone was preparing for that to mean a matchup with Costa Rica. Instead, it is Haiti who step onto the field at NRG Stadium tonight to take on Canada.
Instantly, the perception of this game changes.
