About this episode
After nearly three decades of trying, Canada qualified for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and proceeded to not score a goal.
But Canada could write a new chapter in its soccer history, starting Sunday, when the Qatar World Cup kicks off.
We've covered the controversy surrounding soccer's biggest tournament — from human rights abuses to allegations of bribery, and corruption at FIFA.
Today, we're focusing on the tournament itself. Roger Bennett is back to give us a primer on the favourites, the underdogs and some of the big storylines expected to unfold on the pitch in Qatar. He's the founder of the Men in Blazers Media network, co-host of the Men in Blazers podcast and co-author of the newly published book Gods of Soccer.
