No disrespect to St. Vincent & Grenadines, but the journey for Canada to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa begins Wednesday night against Jamaica. I'm feeling nervous, in a good, excited way. Which is different than I've felt heading into important games in the past. I can't wait for Wednesday, and I know I [. Click to continue reading...

I remember exactly where I was when Ben Johnson destroyed the world record in 1988. I remember the pride at beating his (our) arch-nemesis in the swaggering Carl Lewis. I remember every second. He was a massive man and his acceleration through 100m was relentless. Now, admittedly, I don't follow track and field, but I might start after this. Click to continue reading...

Continuing the preview of the CONCACAF semifinal round with Group B. This is the group with Canada, Honduras, Jamaica, and Mexico. This is by far the most difficult of the three groups to predict, and one very good team is going to be eliminated when this round is complete. Home form is everything, and any points obtained on the road will be absolutely precious. Click to continue reading...

I found this article by Luis Bueno that was written for Sports Illustrated to be very interesting.

I'm just trying to catch this blog up a little bit on the recent Trotters news. Being a goalkeeper myself, I have the utmost respect for Jussi Jaaskelainen. He became one of my favorite players very quickly. Earlier in the year, there was much speculation that Jussi might leave the Reebok.

Here's what a day of baby-sitting will do to a man: I just spent 17 good minutes of my life watching highlights (?) of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying matches, including Jamaica's 7-0 win over Bahamas and Guatemala's 6-0 win over Saint Lucia. I'm all for the minnows having their God-given World Cup chance, but doesn't it seem sort of cruel and unusual? Click to continue reading...

In seeing many predictions around the web as to which teams will make up the final six, I've come across some similarities. The three teams most expect to see through to next year's Hexagonal are the US, Mexico and Costa Rica. Canada also is getting a lot of love but is, along with teams from the other two groups, part of a seemingly interchangable group. Click to continue reading...

Not a lot of surpise in these three groups for CONCACAF after the end of the early rounds of World Cup Qualifying this past weekend.

As much fun as it is to only focus on the great show the US put on yesterday, there were ten other Concacaf Qualifiers over the weekend. So how did they turn out? Most of them went as expected, but there were a couple shocks.
