Kudos to Nick Dasovic,Canada's head coach.He took an undermanned squad to the point of qualifying
for the Olympics.When i watched last nights game i wondered how it happened.I watched last nights
game frustrated by how far Canada must still go before it can really compete with the US and
Mexico. The US-23 squad was a full professional side that were never put in real danger by a hybrid
professional and college side of Canada.

Today Canada must win if it intends to qualify for the Beijing Olympics.To do so it must beat its
cousin to the south.The Concacaf cousin who always sits at the big table at thanksgiving.The cousin
who has qualified for every World Cup since 1990.But today Canada who have not qualified for a
World Cup since 1986 are asking the adults for a seat at this fine table.

Canada and US play tomorrow for an Olympic qualifying spot.Because Canada is so limited in real
world competitions like the World Cup i am desperate to see them get any experience possible.So i
hope we can put some lead in our attack and defense and beat the US.
If we leave it up to Soccer Canada our squads will play 3 games a year two of which will be back to
back affairs against St.

The US will face Canada instead of Mexico this Thursday in Nashville for an Olympic spot.A spot
which most thought would have gone to Mexico instead of Canada.
But Canada's 5-0 win over Guatemala was just enough to edge Mexico out on goal differential.Mexico
beat Haiti 5-1 but are going home. Why Concacaf allowed staggered start times instead of having
everyone play the final game at the same time raises my ire and suspicions.

Well the collapse happened with just 20 minutes to go.Canada were up one nil on the effort of a
Tyler Rosenlund 17th minute goal. But like the Mexico game Canada could not solidify the back and
paid dearly for it.Canada now sit o-1-1.
On ten days preparation Canada have secured 1 point of a possible six.

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.

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.
