Let this one sink in: Canada earned more FIFA Ranking points than any other men’s national team in the world in 2021. Their 130.32 points and rise from 78th to 40th makes them the most-improved team on the planet over the past 12 months. 🇨🇦 #CanMNT

So this is interesting from TFC's friendly today: Club America put men on the posts to try to defend a Giovinco free-kick, so TFC had Altidore stand right in front of the keeper (no longer offside, of course). Then, as he does, Seba made a mockery of it all anyway. #TFCLive

In 2012, #CanMNT ’s 8-1 loss to Honduras kicked off an absurd 16-game winless run (including losses to Martinique and Mauritania) that left them 122nd in the world. In 2022, they sit 33rd, on their way to a World Cup with a legit shot at the knockouts. It’s been quite the decade.

Croatia fans held up this flag aimed at Canada goalkeeper Milan Borjan. "Knin 95 - Nothing runs like Borjan." Knin is Borjan's hometown and the flag refers to the victory in the war over Serb separatists which saw Borjan and most Serbs from Croatia driven from their homes.
