The doom and gloom attitude after Canada's loss to Mexico last night is understandable. But this certainly isn't the end of the road to Russia for the Canadian team.
The problem with hype around the Canadian Soccer program is that when things go wrong people tend to lose perspective quickly. Last night, Canada hosted Mexico at BC Place in front of a record-breaking crowd, and there was genuine belief that this crowd would coincide with an equally special performance from the Canadian team.
It wasn't to be, Canada was outclassed by Mexico en route to a 3-0 loss.
