Candid Comment - Video Edition - FIFA World Cup - GO CANADA

Canada qualified and is in the World Cup in Qatar.  They have played against Belgium and lost 1 nil.  But that should not be considered a failure.  In fact the idea of Canada actually being in the World Cup is an amazing feat and one that all of Canada should be proud of.  In this short commentary I dive into why I think it is a win for Canada despite the loss against Belgium.

One thing of note is that Qatar has not had an easy go of it.  The nation has faced stiff criticism re it's morality laws, and it's labor record and of course what is going on in Iran.  While it is important to address the concerns it's also important that the players focus on the play not the politics.  With that out of the way here are a few links and the connection to the video on YouTube.

All except one link are Wikipedia pages.
