I love how they pronounced the F.Y.R. in Macedonia, rather than saying the
correct: “Former Yugoslav Republic”. lol
Burkina Faso was ranked higher than Canada?!?!
The proudest moment in my country’s history. Never had Canada qualified for
the World Cup until 86 and never since. I was 16 at the time, meant to be
studying for my exams in England but was determined to stay up to see us in
the finals in Mexico. Our first game was against France, the then European
Champions and a team with Platini, Giresse and Tigana. To lose only 1-0 to
Europe’s best team, at to a last-minute goal, made me very proud.
