Canada went further at the World Cup than Germany, the Netherlands and Croatia — and made it just as far as Brazil, Portugal, Mexico and the United States.
For context, here are the approximate annual budgets of those national soccer federations, in USD:
Germany: $510 million
Brazil: $500 million
USA: $260 million
Portugal: $184 million
Netherlands: $164 million
Mexico: $140 million
Croatia: $60 million
Canada: $40 million
One country is clearly punching above its weight.
Proud of this team. 🇨🇦
BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has held talks with Donald Trump over the possibility of the US being given a 1 goal head start in their World Cup tie against Belgium as a “gesture of goodwill.”
@MattWallace888 So he was sitting supporting team usa...I didn't see him supporting canada in the stands. He is the worst prime minister of canada on record.
