Pretty incredible. Couldn't have imagined a Canadian team like this when I was a kid.

It must be an amazing experience for the kids playing in youth soccer teams here

It was a crazy experience at one of the fan festival watch parties.

A great showing from our team. I'm very proud how far we've come. I didn't really believe I would ever have a Canadian team worth rooting for in the world cup, that we would never make it past group stage. To make it past group stage and then to make it past a round of knockout is just fantastic.
