It seems like it was so much longer than 2000, watched that cup as well. Somewhat lucky getting out of the group stage by drawing lots, but it was the last time the Canadian national team won anything. Once Holger Osiek left the national team became a joke. The new guy ( Stephen Hart) does not impress me either, he has to be better than Mitchell though? I will remove Canada's utter failure of the past 9 years and replace it with Quito winning back to back continental cups.

Perugia went the whole 1978-79 season undefeated, but finished 2nd behind Milan. Those were the glory days of catenaccio, 0-0 draws, no foreigners in Serie A and parity. D
