Larin and Akindele running rampant on Dominica. Yes, we've already started our 2018 qualifying campaign.
Had to google Dominica. It looks like they have the population of Kamloops, BC. The language is English and the currency is East Carribbean Dollar. Exchange rate of 2.19 East Caribbean Dollars per Loonie.
It was a good run though getting by British Virgin Islands in the 1st Round. Pop 28,000. FIFA votes 1.
Equal funds shared from the profits from the World Cup too. You just know there is some asshole in their federation that keeps a lot of that money for himself and most certainly voted for Sepp. Such a terrible system.
Watched the game. Really don't understand why JDG keeps getting called AND starts. Please for the love of god get him out of there. Also can't stand Ricketts. Zero soccer IQ. Would be better served running track. Should win easily in Belize. Some decent talent coming up but they need to move on from JDG, Ricketts and even Will Johnson. Attiba is a talent. Too bad he hasn't had much help.
I really like Sportsnet/TSN alot better than the American channels. They show a lot more live sporting events.
Just have to win the home games. It was the tie against Honduras at home last world cup that screwed us in the end.
Was so disappointed that game. Watched them miss chance after chance. First games are mid November. Really hope it's in Toronto and that its cold.

@CanadaSoccerEN: #canM23 XI v USA: Crépeau GK; Gagnon-Laparé, Gasparotto, Thomas, Grant; Eustaquio, Piette (c), Mannella; Petrasso, Jackson-Hamel, Clarke.
Always good players coming out of Pickering. Had our chances last night. Probably 70/30 possession for Canada. Need to take our opportunities when they come. Also need to defend better against boot and run countries like USA. They had a player up top that was hard to defend on the fly.
Eww Pickering. Kidding. Hated that whole Pickering/Whitby/Oshawa area because they were always so god damn fucking good against us in Lacrosse.

Nice to see the additions of Hoilett and Aird. I see that Bustos is included as is Cavallini. Starting to see some more talent in the ranks. Larin, Akindele, Hoilett, Cavallini. All attacking options up front or wide. Bustos and Froese in the middle. Sad to see no Osorio or Tiebert tho. Or Henry.
Can't see Panama putting up a W let alone by 3. Eustaqio should have made it 3-1 in the 80. All alone on the 6. Brutal.
@CanadaSoccerEN: Here. We. Go. #canM23 to face Mexico Saturday in Olympic Qualifying semifinal (KO 6pm ET / 3pm PT) for a spot at #Rio2016. #CanadaRED
@CanadaSoccerEN: #canM23 has full control of its fate right now, 90 min away from a trip to Rio. But first, beat Mexico. Vamos! #CanadaRED
Much better second half. Lost 2-0. But Canada missed a PK, the goalie saved the rebound and a few minutes later hit the crossbar. Chances were there.
U20 squad is announced. Some real talent here. Doughty is eligible for USA as well although to this point he has said he will remain with Canada. Missing Chris Twardyk a talented CM. Local Ottawa kid who is in England but declared for the Czech national squad. 2 games next week v Mexico U20 in Mexico City.
