How Canada can qualify for the men's World Cup after Thursday's loss
CTV
The Canadian men's soccer team could qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar as early as Sunday afternoon.
The squad has been the class of CONCACAF up to this point, finding itself at the top of the standings 12 matches into the final round of qualification, recording only a single loss.
With two matches to go, Canada's path to qualification is straightforward. Even if the team falters and fails to notch a single point from this point forward – a notion that long-suffering fans can't quite get out of their head – it is still plausible that Canada could be part of the men's World Cup for the first time since 1986.
Here is a breakdown of the various paths and permutations that could leave Canada with a berth in Qatar.
Canada's next qualifying match takes place Sunday afternoon against Jamaica at BMO Field in Toronto.
