Go Canada - spoiler

Perfect start - 68 seconds for 1-0 Davis

1. That was exhilarating!

And I love Canada’s national anthem.

2. I cheer on all our Confederation;s teams

Lovely anthem indeed
Quite a task here to keep Croatia out for the rest of this one

3. My favorite goal margin is to be up by 3.

1 is never enough. 2 is OK but can still be overcome if there is enough/too much time on the clock. More than 3 and my maternal heart starts to feel sorry for the opposing team.

I especially like how Canada changed their anthem lyrics from “…in all thy sons command” to “…in all of us command.”

4. Yet another reason to celebrate a nation of immigrants

That Canadian national men's team comprises numerous players born all over the world: Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, England, Croatia, even the United States.

They grew up in Canada and now they come together to represent the red and white.

They're not favored to go far but they have heart. Go Canada is right!

5. Ditto the Davis Cup team--their three top players

Are first generation Canadians with parents from Africa, Europe, and Russia/Ukraine

6. Great point

Canada is already celebrating today

8. didn't end so well.........

Canada has been eliminated

9. True but they scored a World Cup goal on the same day

they won the Davis Cup for the first time in over a century.
They might in the WC in another 100 years.
