I have memories of their badge looking mint on the shiny football stickers in 86 but I couldn't tell you who they played, or name a single player in that squad.
Edit: Greg Ion sounds like someone from a science fiction film.
France, Soviet Union, and I think Czechoslovakia. Lost all three, failed to score, nearly got a goal on a crazy goalmouth scramble in the final match.
Lost 1-0 to France, held out for close to 80 minutes. A few of the players are still around Vancouver, I've met a couple over the years. A good chunk of the squad were guys who had played in the NASL before it folded.
If you subscribe to the Athletic, there's a great story about the final game of qualification - which they played in St. John's, Newfoundland in a makeshift stadium.
