That was the best team of canada..they played just WC in Mexico but he played better than many other teams such as Hungary , Denmark and Scotland..but then they have failed to reach the final qualifications in CONCACAF until now ...we wish that Canadian team reach WC 2022 in Qatar❤️🇨🇦
Final Group C table following France's 3-0 win over Hungary in Leon and the USSR beating Canada 2-0 in Irapuato on Monday 9th June 1986: USSR - matches won 2,drawn 1,lost 0 - goals for 9,against 1 - points 5 France - won 2,drawn 1,lost 0 - for 5,against 1 - points 5 Hungary - won 1,drawn 0,lost 2 - for 2,against 9 - points 2 Canada - won 0,drawn 0,lost 3 - for 0,against 5 - points 0 So the USSR and France were looking very good for a long run in the tournament as they advanced to the knockout last 16. Canada went home - the first team to do so - without scoring a goal but having put up rugged resistance. A thoroughly deflated Hungary awaited their fate according to results elsewhere,but their goose was effectively cooked because of their 6-0 thrashing by the Soviet Union in their first match. Their hopes of staying on hung by a thread on there being two third placed teams with a worse record,but only Group D looked likely to oblige,so long as Northern Ireland and Algeria lost to Brazil and Spain respectively. Group E was already of no help to them whatsoever,and they would need a miraclous turn of events in one of the other groups A,B or F,involving a 6 or 7 goal mauling in one of the remaining matches and a favourable result in the other. A harsh lesson learned - except that the once magic Magyars' steep decline continued as they failed to qualify for any World Cup since. They have stirred back into life recently,though,appearing in the last two European Championships in 2016 and 2021 and putting two or three of the big names in quite a stir - which suggests that they've got something to build on again at last.
Even though Canada had no chance of winning, they were likeable, like any outsider. It's nice to see old games like that again. 😊

Better than Denmark? I think not,capitualtion against Spain notwithstanding.
I saw that match live and the USSR match against Hungary in Irapuato, Mexico. Zavarov and Belanov were great players.
Wow the Soviets had some squad back then
У Советов была очень мощная команда! 1й состав выиграл квалификацию, 2я команда поехала в Мексику, а 3я команда через 2 года выиграла Олимпиаду!

George Pakos scores the 2 goals to get them there. And doesn't see the field the whole world cup. Lenarduzzi and Wilson were very overrated
Lenarduzzi should have scored but stubbed his toe . Hopeless . A great goal scorer sat on the bench most of the time . Branko Sagota
And George should have got on the pitch also . Lots of politics
Tino Lettieri.....great golkepper
En Irapuato ese estadio jamas se modernizo, ya ni equipo profesional existe.
Si existe :v Juega en tercera división :v
Y ya por fin lo van a remodelar..
Canada might have won if it was an ice hockey match
Yes it's more a Ice hockey derby
Neither Gretzky, nor Lemieux, nor Makarov, nor Krutov are playing. Some fake teams of Canada and the USSR.
Ça devait triste comme match!!!
