	Description:		Jeff Blair and Vivek Jacob open with a chat about Canada having not yet clinched a World Cup berth after a 1-0 loss to Costa Rica and the team now having to look ahead to Sunday’s match vs. Jamaica (1:05). Next, James Sharman shares his thoughts on the match from San Jose, Canada playing down to 10 men for most of the match, the team’s surge in the second half despite not scoring and standout performances from Richie Laryea and Ismael Kone (18:26 ). Later, Stephen Brunt talks about John Herdman’s coaching style, his decision put the 19-year old Kone into the match, and compares this incarnation of the National Team in years past (51:26). Dwayne De Rosario discusses the national team’s journey to this point, his former teammate Atiba Hutchinson leading the team with his inspired play, and the joy he gets from seeing Canada atop the table (1:12:14). To wrap, Canada’s captain at the 1986 World Cup Bruce Wilson talks about the thrill of clinching a spot in the World Cup on home soil in 1985 in Newfoundland – can Canada do the same on Sunday at BMO Field (1:18:35)?
