If you are referring to soccer - we do have a national team and just beat the US a few weeks ago for the first time in a very long time.

They are no where near where they should be but they appear to be on the upswing towards the 2026 World Cup

Agreed, it's been a sport on the upswing and that win against the US was huge. Having a professional league in the country and winning that championship has really helped the sport gain some traction in the national consciousness too.

I don't know why they don't have a good national team, because there are some good teams that play in MLS like FC Toronto, Vancouver Whitecaps or Montreal Impact.

When they say Canadian Football, I am thinking about American Football in Canada and not Canadian Soccer.
I know in Europe they call Soccer football.

Our women's soccer (football) team medaled in both 2012 and 2016. Our men's team has been getting better after Herdman starting coaching them and fingers crossed that Alphonso Davies will be playing for us for the next 10-15 years.
