With Mexico already in as host, the rest of CONCACAF had one place to play for at the 1986 FIFA World Cup. Tony Waiters built on Canada’s run at the 1984 Olympics, taking a disciplined squad into a qualifying campaign that came down to a match against Honduras at King George V Park in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
