Guest: Brendan Dunlop, host of the Star's Headers and Footers UEFA Euro 2020 podcast

Canada is not among the traditional superpowers of world football (or soccer, if you like). But a new generation of the brightest talents in the game — Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David — are giving Canadian footy fans a reason to dream of competing with the biggest names and nations of the beautiful game. It's been over 30 years since Canada's men's national team made it to the World Cup. Can they land a spot in next year's tournament? We talk about the highs and lows of Canadian football, the growth of the game in Canada and why the years ahead might be the best to come.
