As you can see here, Canada qualified in 1986. The first indication that they wouldn't do so well is the fact that on Panini, they had 2 players per sticker.
This is generally seen as a snub, and had the maple leafers marked as also rans before they began.
They didn't end up doing so well, in fact they played 3 games, didn't score a goal and were on the plane north before you could say 'Guadalajara'.
The key game of the tournament (from an unbiased English persepective) fell between England and Argentina, still smarting from their defeat over the Falklands.
The whole match is here, as I missed it, but you probably only need to watch between 52 and 57 minutes to figure out who and why this game was won.
