Program Title: Canada's road to the World Cup
Description: The last time Canada's men's soccer team went to the World Cup was in 1986. They didn't score a single goal.

But now with coaching from John Herdman and star players like Alphonso Davies, the team has started to believe in itself — and this week, won an important qualifying event against Mexico, a soccer powerhouse. After scoring their second goal, team members leaped into a snowbank in the –10 C Edmonton weather to celebrate. This iconic moment comes only a few months after Canada's women won their first Olympic gold for soccer in Tokyo.

Shireen Ahmed is a regular contributor to TSN, and a co-host of the Burn It All Down podcast. Today, she takes us through the game, what it means for Canada, and what comes next for soccer in this country.
