Really?

Well, the list isn't really very long....

That said... 'Greatest Day in Canadian Football'...

That might be a bit of overkill. The day we qualified for Mexico 86 would likely be the Greatest Day in Canadian Football. The Gold Cup win was the Second Greatest Day in Canadian Football. This win was a Very Good Day in Canadian Football.

From FIFA - "Play of the Day"

“A superb goal”

(FIFA.com) 8 Dec 2003

Josh Simpson sends Canada through to the quarter-finals.

Josh Simpson’s sweetly struck shot into the top corner of Burkina Faso’s net was the undisputed highlight of Day 8 at the FIFA World Youth Championship UAE 2003. FIFA’s Technical Study Group (TSG) also picked out Justin Mapp’s surging run and simple finish for the USA against Côte d’Ivoire.

Gabriel Calderon (ARG): “A superb goal”

"The Play of the Day was without doubt the Canadian goal against Burkina Faso. Iian Hume picked up an apparently lost ball and sped off down the right hand side avoiding the close attentions of the Burkinabe defenders right up to their penalty area. He then swung a handsome 30 metre cross over to team-mate Josh Simpson at the far post. There, the number 15 struck a sweet shot home into the opposite top corner. It was a superb goal in every sense of the word."
