TORONTO -- One year after an 8-1 humbling in Honduras that signalled yet another early end to World Cup qualifying, there seemingly has been little to celebrate in Canadian mens soccer. Canada fell to an all-time low in the FIFA rankings Thursday for the second straight month, dropping five positions to No. 111. The Canadians stand 12th in the CONCACAF region, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean. Going into the Honduras game at San Pedro Sula on Oct. 16, 2012, Canada was ranked 61st in the world and sixth in CONCACAF. Today, the Canadian men stand a hair above No. 112 Antigua and Barbuda, whose population is some 90,000 compared to Canadas 35 million. Canada is below Angola, Botswana, both Congos, Gabon, Guinea and Niger, to name just a few. "I can sympathize with fans who are frustrated that we are not getting the results that we all want to get," said Victor Montagliani, president of the Canadian Soccer Association. Montagliani, however, says the association has shown already it is "fully committed" to getting the national team games, as opposed to past years when the squad has virtually been put on hold following failed World Cup qualifying campaigns. While Canada is looking at the 2018 World Cup, the CSA boss says the 2022 tournament and beyond may be more realistic. "And unfortunately its going to mean some tough results because youre going to be using a lot of players who dont have the caps or the experience to compete at the international level," he said. "And there are some realities we have. Our young players are not getting time with their clubs and those are things I think they need to fix as much as we need to help them to fix. "But I think our approach is sound, in that its long-term, were not going to make decisions based on the way the wind blows in terms of popularity. Quite honestly I think weve done that too much in the past and were going to make decision based on long-term health." The FIFA rankings are not the be-all and end-all in soccer, but its hard to argue with Canadas decline given results over the last 12 months. The Canadians have gone 0-8-3 and scored just once since being thumped in Honduras. They have been outscored 16-1 and have only Marcus Habers goal in a 2-1 loss to Japan in March to avoid a total shutout on the year. As it stands, Canada has not scored in 12 hours 32 minutes. The rebuilding job has fallen to Benito Floro, who has just three games under his belt since officially taking as coach on Aug. 1. With an eye to the future, his focus has clearly been on changing the national team culture while educating a squad that is brimming with youth. Floro, a 61-year-old Spaniard whose coaching career has taken him from Real Madrid to Mexicos Monterrey, has used long classroom and videos sessions to educate the Canadians in his two camps to date. "I think its been great," said 20-year-old defender Doneil Henry. "Im definitely optimistic and positive for Benito," he added. "Hes been great so far and he really does know the game." Henrys optimism extends to the Canadian squad, which he sees as "a team for the future." Henry, who already has nine senior caps to his credit, was one of four of Toronto FC players aged 23 or younger in the Canadian squad that lost 3-0 to Australia on Tuesday. Other youngsters who saw action included 18-year-old Samuel Piette, 20-year-old Russell Teibert and 21-year-old Stefan Cebara. "If we can start getting these players the professional experience they need at the international stage, it will definitely benefit us in the long run," said Henry. Recent losses, while painful, have shown the youngsters "that this is a mans game," according to Henry. "Theres so much mo
