It was a proud moment for Canadian soccer fans when they took the Group A lead after a 2:2 tie with Costa Rica July 10th, 2009. The CONCACAF Gold Cup match bests the soccer skills of North and Central American Countries (basically N.America).

The Canadian national team will not head to Philidelphia where they will play in the Gold Cup quarter-finals that will take place next week.

What was with the end of that match? Calling the game in the middle of a breakaway? Next to just before a PK, that is the most absurd time a ref could possibly call a game in soccer. If you watched the game from your home (at least the part that made it on the air), you heard a lot of complaining about inconsistent officiating, but over all, it seemed pretty normal for MLS.

Last evening in Montreal at Saputo Stadium Canada lost to Honduras and almost insured that Canada will now miss its Seventh straight World Cup tallying up 28 years since Canada has appeared in a World Cup.(Mexico 86 being the last)This news is stark in contrast to the reality that Concacaf is one of the easiest federations to gain access to the Worlds most important sporting event.

Canada played an international friendly last night in Seattle before 50,000 people and acquitted themselves well. The third goal was a nightmare allowed to an opportunistic Robinho but the same DeGuzman who made the ill advised pass also scored a dandy from distance. We'll see if this helps Canada in Concacaf qualifying? Click to continue reading...

I was listening to the Soccer show on the Fan 590 out of Toronto via podcast yesterday.Its a one hour soccer show broadcast weekly on Thursday evenings.

Again it can be said that Massimo Morrati is no Bill Lumberg. To me he is a kind paternalistic father who apologizes to his party guests when his crazy and drunk uncle pays a visit,the uncle who then asks the ugliest women in the room "had she ever called suicide prevention? and was she put on hold?" Poor Moratti has to follow him around apologizing cleaning up after him. Click to continue reading...

I have been posting about the current affairs of the Canadian soccer association and it's inability to fulfill its mandate as a soccer organization. Last night Canada's U23 team was tasked with playing Mexico in order to become one of two teams to qualify from Concacaf to qualify for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Click to continue reading...
