Canadian players celebrating a win over Jamaica during CONCACAF World Cup soccer qualifying match in Toronto on Sunday — Reuters TORONTO, Mar 29 (AP): Cyle Larin, Tajon Buchanan and Junior Hoilett scored and Canada secured its first World Cup berth in 36 years with a 4-0 victory over Jamaica on Sunday.
Canada has been to the World Cup just once before, in 1986.
"Speechless. Dream come true," midfielder Jonathan Osorio said. "We all dreamt of this as little kids, and as a Canadian that was impossible. Today the impossible happened. It's an incredible feeling."
Canada missed out a chance to secure a spot in Qatar last week with a 1-0 loss to Costa Rica. It was Canada's first loss in three World Cup qualifying rounds and it snapped a six-game winning streak.
