The last week in Canadian Soccer News

The Canadian nationally team has been busy in the previous week and well I haven’t been here to inform you properly (what can I say Canada is a big country I had to travel around it), so here in the following post will be a wrap up of the news and noise that happened as we get ready for next week’s big qualification games for world cup 2010. Because I’m in the mood I will be taking on the ego of Alan Partridge to do this week in review. If you have never heard of him, just youtube it and you’ll fully understand his brilliance.

It’s a special week in at the desk of sports as we take a look at the action that the Canadian National Soccer team took place in.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL

Canada took on Brazil last week in a game in Seattle, United States oh the irony. Here are some of the highlights.

In the 4th minute Robinho gets football pie all over Stalteri’s shirt and slots the ball to Diego who scores…. 1-0 Brazil.

In the 11th minute Klukowski uses his foot like a tractor engine and gives a long ball that Friend is able to abuse into the back of the net with his grasshopper like jumping skills. 1-1 is the game

In the 44th minutes Fabiano is giving a cross and yes yes yes yessssss yessssss that was a goal, as it squeezes past Onstad. 2-1 Brazil

in the 55th minute… THWACKED that was liquid football as DeGuzman blasts a 25 footer into the back of the twine.

In the 63rd minute … Robinho steals the ball of a bad pass from DeGuzman and the proof is in the pudding and in this case the pudding is a goal for Robinho.

3-2 is your final score in an exciting offensive affair, that showed that the Canadian group has some flair to use for this upcoming World Cup Qualification Campaign.

On Wednesday Canada played a game against Panama in a secure stadium, ala it wasn’t televised, we don’t want those St. Vincent and the Grenadines people getting anymore info than they may already have.

In the 33rd minute Peters forced the Panama goalie to EAT that goal. 1-0 Canada

42nd minute Panama scores on a penalty shot… and Canada is brought back down to reality 1-1

48th minute Garces tells Sutton boof eat my goal, and puts in home giving Panama the 2-1 lead

In the 82nd minute Jazic saves the day and breaths life into Canada when he scores a goal to force a 2-2 draw.
That’s how the game ended and rather ironic as the FIFA rankings have them both tied at 60th in the world.

In other news along the Canadian men’s sports team front.

DeGuzman has a couple of knocks and has spent the week in Toronto getting treatment, according to news reports it is nothing serious and is just precautionary before the big qualification games next week.

The CSA has pretty much decided that if we get past St. Vincent and the Grenadines, that the home games for the round robin qualification will take place in Edmonton, Montreal and Toronto, here’s hoping that they get the tickets in the hand of the Canadian fans so that we can truly show the passion that we have in the country and not allow for what happened last time where we were upstaged by the countries we were competing against on home soil.

Also Mitchell and Carver (Toronto FC head coach) are not agreeing with the players schedule for the national team, though it does beg the question is a club team ever going to be happy for there players to play in international games where they can get injured and be useless… frankly it shouldn’t surprise any of us that they do disagree, if they didn’t it would mean Mitchell wasn’t asking enough from his players.

Also St. Vincent and the Grenadines matchup is now only 1 week away. I’m going to attempt to live blog it if I can find a feed for the game that I have access to and that family affairs don’t get in the way (apparently it’s father’s day). If not I would suspect that the Out of Touch blog will be covering it as well. If not I’m sure he will inform me otherwise.

So that’s what happened in this special week of Canadian soccer, hopefully you will join me soon as the qualification for the World Cup really gets under way.
