Morning Cynical Soccer Post

Oh no, Canada is doing well at the Gold Cup. It must be time to dump Steven Hart, in favor of a coach who favors a more traditionally Canadian (creativity free) approach.

U.S. Out

The U.S. was dumped from the U-20World Cup yesterday. I was deeply saddened by their 2-1 loss to Austria. I will miss them in the tournament. The play very attractive football, dare I say a North American Style of football -- tough, gritty, aggressive, but fair. It is like North American hockey transplanted onto grass. Anyone who would rather see a game between Austria and the Czech Republic (snore) than Spain and the U.S., needs to have their pulse taken. The tournament is poorer for the U.S.'s exit.

Let me say one more thing. I predict the U.S. will win the World Cup (the big boys version) and sooner rather than later. I for one will be cheering them on (unless they are playing against Canada of course). They have won me as a fan.

WE WUZ ROBBED

Canada was tripped out of the Gold Cup, last night by very, very questionable refereeing and everyone is admitting it. No matter. Thanks to the boys in red and white. I have to say, I really enjoyed watching this team play. They showed, for the first time in a long time, that Canadians know how to play soccer. They played like hockey players from this country, with grit and determination and an absolute belief that they were never out of the game, until the final whistle. The future of Canadian soccer seems bright, if only we can get CONCACAF to clean up its act.
