    Hey, as Canadians we’re ecstatic to be in the round of 16, but it isn’t much of a surprise.

    The US paid for a good team and they’re in a decent group with little surprise that they’re on top.

    Mexico was in an abymsally easy group and its no surprise they’re where they are.

    Canada was also in a group with little surprise that we ended up proceeding. Only real surprise was tying the higher ranked swiss.

    Given that S.Africa beat the better ranked South Korea, they put up a great show but were still dominated by a sloppy but effective Canada yesterday.

    I will be surprised if the next game v Netherlands/Morocco is anything but a blowout, but we made it to the 16 and I’m happy with that.

      FIFA gave a “peace price” to kiss the ring of the dictator. Do you think their shenanigans stop there?
