When Jamaica beat Canada, the Canadians were in poor form due to their management/union issues & the fact that coach Herdman left them. They have new board members; a new dynamic CEO & a very good coach & they are now back to the Qualifiers form when they finished #1. They are actually better because they are younger (average age is now 25), faster & more talented than they were then. If Shaka is also using the forecasted standings, or where teams finish for his rankings, then Canada should be ahead of the U.S. & Mexico. The U.S. almost certainly won't get out of the 2nd round, as it is a very tough group, whereas Canada will have a good chance of playing & beating a depleted Mexican team & Canada has by far the better goaltending, as you saw Max Crepeau star vs France & Argentina, the 2 best teams in the world (his manager should be getting calls from European teams very soon).
