There has been a lot of momentum leading up to Friday's match for the national team program, and a win would be the culmination of a lot of hard work.
The qualification cycle for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia was supposed to be a transition period for the Canadian men's national team. Instead, it has become a massive opportunity for the program.
After beating Honduras 1-0 at home, and getting a 0-0 draw on the road to El Salvador, Canada are in a far better position than most expected. With 4 points after two games, they sit second in their group, a position that would see them advance to the Hex.
