After rolling over lesser opposition, Canada faces a far stiffer World Cup qualifying test in Suriname on Tuesday. A loss and the World Cup dream is over. “This is the strongest team Canada has faced since the U.S.A, Mexico,” said Herdman, naming the two powers in CONCACAF. The Canadian men have not reached the final round of qualifying in the region since the buildup to France ‘98. Canada opened World Cup qualifying by beating Bermuda 5-1 and the Cayman Islands 11-0 before blanking Aruba 7-0 on Saturday.
