Only 2 more sleeps until the European World Cup qualifying starts and more importantly before Malta play Scotland. A home win, followed by a draw against England at Wembley in October, that will be a decent start. Malta, the surprise package in this round of qualifying.
Today, and right now, it's CONCACAF qualifying. As much as I would like Canada, my adopted country, to be in Russia it's looking more like the impossible dream after a 2-1 loss in Honduras. And with El Salvador winning 1-0 in the first half against Mexico right now, the required second place in the group looks even harder. It'll probably be another World Cup of Canadians supporting their other team: their country of birth or that of their parents.
My country of birth, despite my optimism (laughable and misguided) will not be in Russia. But a nice little win on Sunday would feel like a World Cup win.
