\"Canada<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

So, the time has finally come for the Canada men\u2019s national soccer team, sometimes known as CanMNT, to grace the world stage. It\u2019s been too long since the Canucks mixed it with the big boys, but in just a few weeks time, they will rub shoulders with footballing royalty at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did they get here? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The last time the Canadians featured at the World Cup was back in 1986<\/a>, when they went to Mexico, only to finish bottom of their group after losing three out of three. They actually ended the tournament in an official 24th place, and that was back when there were only 24 teams, so it was an unforgettable trip for the men in red . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s taken the Canucks nearly 40 years to make it to their second world cup, but they built slowly, focused on the production of talent, and as a result, they made it in style. Many people would have expected the Canadians to scrape through qualification if they were going to make it at all, but that was far from the case, as they bowled out in front, beating some decent opposition in the way. Despite being in a final qualification group that featured Mexico, the USA and Costa Rica, Canada came through as the top-ranked CONCACAF side, winning eight, tying losing just two of their final qualifying games. They were also the top scorers and the team with the best defensive record. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
