Well, Canada, it's official: The men's national team is going to the World Cup!
Peter and Thomas are joined by Alexandre Gangue-Ruzic in the immediate aftermath of Canada's 4-0 win over Jamaica at BMO Field that secured their berth at the 2022 World Cup. They go over some big-picture questions from the listeners, including what the moment means, how this team was able to put this run together, the long-term impact of this historic achievement and so much more.
They also dive into some game-specific takeaways from Sam Adekugbe's return, to Tajon Buchanan getting on the scoresheet and what Canada needs to do to claim Pot 3 for the World Cup draw.
