The Canada men's national soccer team, overseen by the Canadian Soccer Association, has experienced little international success. In Canada's first and to date only World Cup finals appearance in 1986, the squad failed to score a goal and finished last. Surprisingly however, the Canadians hoisted the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup and were semi-finalists in 2002. Any thought that the side was on the rise however was soon discarded with a poor showing in qualifying for Germany 2006 where the Canucks failed to reach the final qualifying stage of CONCACAF. The Canadian women's team has had more success internationally.
