Back to business for Canada soccer team

After celebrating Sunday’s World Cup qualification, it was back to business Tuesday for the Canadian men’s soccer team.

Canada goes into Wednesday’s finale with a three-point edge over the U.S. and Mexico and a six-point cushion over Costa Rica . Fifth-place Panama is out of contention.
