PLAYERS CUT, PUNS TO GO
UNUSEDA sad day for four young men as Toronto FC made their first four cuts of pre-season today. Sadder
still is the effect it will have on blogs as some quality nicknames will forever go stale in
Toronto.
Steven Sandor of The 11.com posted yesterday that FC Edmonton has confirmed they will play their
Amway Canadian Championship match opener at Commonwealth Stadium. The game will take place on May
2nd against the Vancouver Whitecaps. According to Sandor, the CSA does not allow ACC matches to be
played on fields with "football lines or [.
The U.S. Men's National Team will face off against their northern rival, Canada, on June 3rd, just
one week before the 2014 CONCACAF World Cup qualifying begins. The announcement came late Thursday
afternoon, first by the CSA and then by U.S. Soccer. The game will be played at BMO Field in
Toronto and will be [.

Three members of the NASL's FC Edmonton squad have received invitations to Canada's Olympic
qualifying camp in March. Edmonton native Shaun Saiko, along with Eddies' striker Kyle Porter and
trialist goalkeeper Michal Misiewicz all received emails Wednesday for the camp in Fort
Lauderdale. Midfielder Saiko, 23.
The excitement is building for the 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament and the
Canadian Soccer Association has been busy promoting the eight-team competition. The CSA is
featuring two U.S. players with strong northwest ties -- Seattle resident Hope Solo and former
Portland Pilot star Megan Rapinoe -- as part of an advertising campaign titled "Made for This.
Team Canada: So hot in the 80's!While this site is usually 93% Toronto FC related - and
7% random 80's reference related - today we put down our Reds' scarves for er... red scarves. The
Canadian Men's National Team embarks on its long, arduous and no doubt hair-pullingly frustrating
journey towards World Cup 2014 this Friday at BMO Field.
Rollins over at CDN has an interesting round-up of some of the (perceived) criticisms of the
Canadian national men's team in light of the women's success (which so far amounts to an honourable
loss to Germany).
I have to say though, it would have been a little more convincing if Rollins had provided concrete
links.
J Hutcherson writes of five things to look at following the US 2-0 victory over Canada in the
CONCACAF Gold Cup.
In the aftermath of the USA's clinical treatment of Canada in the opening night of Group C, we look
at five things to carry forward into the second set of games on the Gold Cup schedule.

CBC and Chris Young/Canadian Press. Sorry but this is beautiful.
I need a forum for this and I'll keep it brief and do my best to tie it into our beloved Robins
(that's TFC folks).
The match was an electric affair where a combination of sublime luck and timing earned a draw
against relentless pressure and natural skills.
Canadian Soccer Association officials have deemed the surface at BMO Field unplayable, and the
second leg of the Canadian championship between Toronto FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps has been
rescheduled for July 2.
Vancouver held a 1-0 lead in the 60th minute of Wednesday night's second leg, but torrential
downpours and repeated lightning forced the game to be abandoned.
NEW YORK, NY Major League Soccer announced today that the Houston Dynamo will move to the Eastern
Conference in 2011. Combined with the Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps FC joining MLS as
expansion clubs in 2011, the League now has two conferences of nine teams each. Upon joining MLS in
2006, Houston became the [.

The North American Soccer League's attempt to become the sole proprietors of second division soccer
in the United States and Canada took a hard right into a telephone pole today. Brian Quarstad of
Inside Minnesota Soccer is reporting that the NASL's application has been rejected by US Soccer,
presumably due to the inability of several clubs to meet new standards imposed after last year's
NASL-USL forced marriage.
