I love that pic of Atiba.

"It's a disgrace, a F#cking disgrace"....

Great blog, Luca!

i second that!  i look forward to seeing simeon jackon on tv finally.  hopefully his poaching ability in england will translate well into the national team.  

speaking of atiba, i would like to see him in more of a central attacking role.  he's had a lot of success in denmark in that position and linking with de guzman out of his holding role would work beautifully.  442 diamond formation i see.  

g-dig-it.  i hate canada.  gold cup starts and b/c of tv rights, im forced to either watch seattle vs boston or the lions vs saskatchewan.  (the second one i dont mind... but the first choice on that other channel...)  dammm i hate this country.

dude, it's on Sportsnet at 8....unless you are out east.  but if you have digital cable you can get Sportsnet ontario or West and you are good.

Ali G!  

Why couldn't we beat Jamaica 1-0 in the WCQ matches ffs?

Tom - because Dale Mitchell was coaching.

Is there a reason that Sportsnet has an appalingly bad video archive? I can probably still watch games from the WHC on TSN.ca three months after the fact (and for all I know, the World Juniors as well).

I mean, if Rogers was offering the game on their on-demand service I'd understand that they'd want to drive users to that instead of the webstite that they aren't getting much revenue from. But that's not the case, and it's another reason that, while people may bitch about TSN, they're a much better channel than Sportsnet.

Btw, Max Bell of the Voyageurs is doing some fantastic post-game interviews with the Canadian team on the V's own youtube channel here:

Gian-Luca- Thanks for the link! Incredible work by Max. I must admit, I have mixed emotions about this. The work The Voyageurs has done here is fantastic, with insightful work, but it makes me upset to see that once again no major network (this includes The Score!) is really stepping in to fill the obvious void of mainstream coverage of the CMNT, leaving the supporters group to be the only source for post-game analysis. Not that I think a network would do any better, but simply so that this sport grows in this country to the level it should be at.

and speaking of.....where are Ross, Sharm and the boys?  

Updates guys.  

here here gav w.  fantastic interviews by max.  go canada go!

^^^Agreed...at least the Voyageurs are paying attention.

amazing link gian-luca.....took me forever to find a clip of ali's goal.  it's about time there's some coverage of this, someone needs to wake up the footy blog.

C'mon. I am waiting you guys to post something...... Are u guys dead?

I believe Joe Ross was in New York, along with Dunlop, Dobby and KJ (something I learned from being one of Brendan's 2.7 billion facebook friends), which would explain the lack of posts.

James, meanwhile, rarely makes posts on weekends (I think).
