Canada’s men’s national soccer team shocked the sports world last night and will be now competing with some of the world’s best. Their historic win last night sparked off celebrations across the country. Fans from coast-to-coast-to-coast were jumping for joy as Canada punched their ticket to the Copa América semi-finals.
