Rewind: It’s real. Canada’s going to the World Cup

April 2, 2022
|
Stefanie Phillips

For decades, Canada's men's soccer team was irrelevant at best, a punchline at worst. While the women's side went on to Olympic medals and World Cup runs, the Canadian men ... did nothing. Until a few years ago, when the tide began to turn. And then last year, when the unthinkable started to happen.

Now Canada is not only headed to the World Cup for just the second time in its history, but the team also looks ready to do some damage when it gets there. How did the unthinkable happen?

GUEST: John Molinaro, veteran Canadian soccer journalist, founder of TFC Republic
