Ah, la Copa de Oro. Where fate meets destiny, where great minds meet great feet, where Haiti meets Guadeloupe. Oh, sure, you laugh, but for FA’s like Canada, who don’t get trashed if they fail to reach the World Cup semi-finals, the Gold Cup is a big thing. Canada had a chance to make it [...]

Jonathan De Guzman the current Feyenoord Rotterdam midfielder in the Dutch Eredivisie has quite the decision to make in the coming years. No it’s not whether he should continue to play soccer, or what should he do after soccer. It has nothing to do with that, but it does have to do with which nation [...]

A meagre tally, yes, but it’ll have to do for this year. Here’s what our three representatives are up against as they try to capture The Other Cup this year.
Lars Hirschfeld and Rosenborg, who finished third in their Champions League group behind Chelsea and Schalke, are pitted against Fiorentina, who finished second in their UEFA [...]

Four years ago when Canada found out their opponent in the first round of FIFA World Cup Qualifying would be Belize, a hearty laugh was shared by all. The tiniest country in Central America, we thought. Never achieved anything within any tournament, more or less. Ha, we thought. And we were right. On 13 June [...]

First of all, hello to all of you, welcome to my first column for the Canada World Cup Blog. Some of you may know me from The Offside, where I write for the French league. I hope we’ll get along just fine.
If you’re a Canada fan like me, you’re used to hearing bad news [...]

Ah yes, Canadian soccer does live on… in all it’s glory. Well maybe not, with the CSA still in a ton of disorientation, with a coach who couldn’t win a game with the U20’s in Canada, well I guess you could have expected the 2-0 loss to South Africa. It’s almost at that point where [...]

The Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) or as I know them the complete waste of time organization that is after its own self interests of those that run it and not that of Canadian soccer. This organization has spent more times doing nothing and letting players such as the likes of Owen Hargraves to jump to [...]

Ah yes soccer fans being a bit too rough in Canada, not because they are having riots against one another, nope we haven’t learnt that skill yet, but because they are slowly but surely breaking all the soccer available stadiums in Canada. It started with the opening of the BMO field in Toronto this year [...]

Well with qualifying not beginning until 2008 for the World Cup in 2010, I figured it would be beneficial to see who exactly the current starting line up is at the moment and their recent form or where exactly they are playing their club soccer, as no friendlies are being played this month.
Just want to [...]
