As the Senate gets ready to vote on a new bill to stave off economic disaster, and Sarah prepares (feverishly) to debate, and George Will joins the ranks of those who see her as unqualified to serve ... and some (unfortunately) find themselves feeling sorry for the lipsticked pitbull ... my thoughts turn (feverishly) to [.

I love to watch soccer commercials just because we don't get them here in Canada. Everything is Hockey! Well enough of the ranting. Here's a Nike commercial titled The Scorpion Match. Why it's called that is a mystery to me.

So Mexico did lose on Wednesday after all as I mentioned briefly in my previous post.

Now, before people start to call for Sven Goran Eriksson's head, let me remind them of one minor detail: it's a meaningless friendly he lost.

Meaningless in terms of result and impact of the loss. Click to continue reading...

According to CBC News (click here for the full and original article), Mo Johnston at TFC was in South America looking at four young players (age 19-21). However, he stated the DP would not be South American. He is looking for one from Canada.

Owen Hargreaves. Jonathan de Guzman. Just two international players who could have donned Canadian colours but choose, for one reason or another, not to. Perhaps that reason is the Canadian Soccer Association. I've always been bitter about Hargreaves choosing to play for England over Canada. But a new interview with Hargreaves in Soccer360 is shedding some [. Click to continue reading...

Just in time for the group stages of the UEFA Champions League, here's a list of the CONCACAF players who will be participating in the world's premier continental competition: Player Club Country Guillermo Franco Villarreal Mexico Rafael Márquez Barcelona Mexico Francisco Rodríguez PSV Eindhoven Mexico Carlos Salcido PSV Eindhoven Mexico Carlos Vela Arsenal Mexico Lars Hirschfeld CFR Cluj Canada I do know that Jozy Altidore also plays for Villarreal, but he was not listed on the roster that the club sent to UEFA, so he cannot play in the group stages.

Mexico is reasserting itself as the dominant CONCACAF power. Wednesday's 2-1 win over Canada in Chiapas saw Mexico once again mix the old and the new as far as player selection. With Blanco having now retired and Jared Borgetti seemingly frozen out of Sven Goran Eriksson's setup, veteran leadership will pass to Pavel Pardo and [. Click to continue reading...

I was kinna hoping that Canada had a chance to at least play in the 2010 FIFA World Cup matches in South Africa, however, those dreams might be far off. Canada lost to Mexico 2-1 at the qualifying match in the Victor Manuel Reyna stadium, Mexico - September 13, 2008. In this action photo Andres Guardado [. Click to continue reading...

MLS Rumors is "reporting" that Ottawa, ON is going to make a big push for an MLS expansion team.  To Major League Soccer, I say this, Just Say No.    Ottawa is too small. If MLS is going to expand again to Canada, it should not be to its sleepy capital which makes Washington DC look like [...] Click to continue reading...

Blanco after last night's game/Getty Images A number of postings on this site have been spent criticizing both MLS and Cuauhtemoc Blanco himself. However, last night I felt honored as I witnessed live both Blanco's 100th cap and his final appearance for Mexico in a 2-1 victory over Canada in Chiapas. Click to continue reading...

Mexico is reasserting itself as the dominant CONCACAF power. Last night's 2-1 win over Canada in Chiapas saw Mexico once again mix the old and the new as far as player selection. Honduras beat Jamaica at home and finally the Hondurans who have for years been talented enough to break through in a weak region [. Click to continue reading...

After playing a bit part in Mexico's 2-1 CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying win over Canada, El Tri hero/villain (depending on whom you ask) Cuauhtémoc Blanco officially hung his international boots. Of course, this can only mean good things for the Chicago Fire, but for me, U.S. v Mexico encounters have lost just a little bit of especias. Click to continue reading...

I haven't heard from the player (who shall remain nameless unless he chimes in) so I'm back to writing my CONCACAF column. I did some more research on the United States' road "struggles."

The answer is below but before you click on the link to read the entire post, can you guess when the last time the US lost a road World Cup qualifier to a nation other than Mexico or Costa Rica? Click to continue reading...

Canada is in serious trouble.

There is no other way to put it after the Canadian national team dropped a 2-1 result against Honduras in Montreal on Saturday night. The loss left Canada with just one point from two home qualifiers in what is easily the toughest group in CONCACAF.

We know a lot about football you and me. We know that Brazil isn't what it used to be, that the MLS is woefully overrated at the moment (which is saying a lot), that Middlesborough are this season's Aston Villa, that Manchester City will still never win anything, and we know that England will never play attractive football again.

Do or die only counts when you have been mathematically eliminated. And we haven't been yet. But it's hard to find a whole lot of confidence that we are going to move onto South Africa after tonight's performance. The long desperate ball. Is this really what we have come to?

So after more than a year of distribution delays, Goal 2: Living the Dream is now in North American theaters. A few of the boys from Toronto FC attended the Canadian premiere, which was recorded for posterity by TFCtv.

If you're interested in seeing this one, good luck; it seems to only be showing in Canada, California, Illinois, Arizona, Texas, Kansas and Vegas so you might need to cash in some of those frequent flier miles you've been hanging on to. Click to continue reading...
