The upcoming Canada-Peru friendly is probably the most anticipated game in my career as a football supporter. I've been following this Canadian MNT of ours for years. I've been through more highs and lows (mostly lows) than I care to recall right now, but nonetheless my blind devotion and belief that we can get to the World Cup is as strong today as it has ever been.

The (comparatively speaking) grizzled veteran at age 25, Issey Nakajima-Farran - by far the most experienced international who was not in the back four - takes charge of a last-minute free kick, places ...
Canada's match today against Argentina sadly went as predicted. Argentina's World Cup team against a largely second string Canada squad in Buenos Aires was always going to be about how few goals Canada would concede. Canadian fans can rest easy that had Canada's first string squad played, the scoreline would likely only have been 4-0.
