Bazinga! I was waiting for the Joey Torchia reference at some point... ;-)

I'd agree. Any Canadian player who sacrifices his time and career to represent our country has the right to have an opinion, especially after a failed campaign. I'm sure Hart has a thicker skin and...

As much as I would be happy with the resurgence of the Arrow project from a nostalgic point of view, it is important to note that aside from the common rhetoric, the technology is pre-1960s era. A...

Bofors-type anti-aircraft guns? Or BOMARC-type missles? The lessons of the Iraqi wars would refute much of the intended benefits. Much of those are short-term defenses, easily wiped out by smart...

Update as of Dec 6, 2012:

Canada won their first game of the tournament against also winless Japan, 6-2. Canada started in a very tough Group D, losing to Russia (6-13), Germany (2-10), and...

Ball hockey and floorball are 2 totally different sports. Ball hockey has a GK who uses a stick, while in FB the goalie has only his hands and body to defend the goal. The floor dimensions are...

My bad, the year was 2006. Canada placed 4th in the "C" Championship. The Canadians (with my brother) shut out Korea (12-0), beat France (8-6), and lost to the hosts Spain (5-7).
...

My brother used to be the backup GK for the Canadian entry in the World Floorball Championships (Division C) in 2007 (I think). They played in Spain against many teams, but he got a win (South...

Wow, surprised at some of the comments on this thread but I do feel everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

My mine is this: Congratulations on your retirement Kevin. I will always remember...

Billy Domazetis was loaned to the Winnipeg Fury (CSL) in 1988 and played prominently in the Fury's playoff run firstly against Calgary and later against the 86ers. I was very fortunate to see a few...

Thanks for the updates, Juby! I do hope Matt Bonner and Dalembert will get involved with the National team; perhaps with Nash & Triano things will happen. Sacre played one minute against Portland...

MOD REPLY: Since this thread has predictably morphed into a "Robert is crazy" thread, I'm closing it. Robert, you have been warned NOT to have several threads open about the same anti-CSA or...

+1.

First they would regroup, retool, and prepare better for the next campaign. That will take months, at the very least. Why would you want a quick rematch? What's the point? The next match will be...

It's too easy to harp about the 8-1 loss, but it's not the first time. We lost to Mexico in Azteca 8-0 in 1993 even with Craig Forrest in goal.
The same Craig Forrest who let in all goals in his...

Great job, Dwayne (Winnipeg Fury) and John (johnTv) on explaining the Voyageurs Cup as well as getting it to the Soccer Hall of Fame.

It's amazing that an internet board of Canadian fans on...

MOD ALERT: Before this thread escalates into personal name-calling (although I do like some of phases displayed), perhaps it's time to retire the thread. We all understand the position of the...

I'd like a D2 with more Canadian teams in either NASL or USL1, perhaps with a set-up as a feeder league for Canadian MLS teams. Imagine if Toronto FC have a competitive feeder league not only from...

I like Pesch. I remember him as a 16 year old in the old CSL. He had skill, talent, and loads of heart.

He'd be a great assistant coach. But he's no Bob Bradley, Bora Multinovic, Jose Pekerman,...

Absolutely. The title expresses futility, but we had our chances to make it. We were missing mental toughness, as the difference in my opinion. Perhaps a different coach and a group of players...

I know how you feel, Ed. It was a long walk to the car after watching the gutless performance.

But in the end, regardless of disappointment, my Facebook status read: "My country, right or...

+1. Exactly. The "culture of winning" for the CWNT started after the CSA appointed John Herdman and implement his mental toughness approach.

Hmm. I think the coach we need is an INTERNATIONAL one, not necessarily foreign coach. Someone who has coached at this level who will be able to command the team regardless of whether or not...

Agreed. First, plane land. Second, take deep breath, go home. Third go to office, plan how to resign. Then, fall on sword. (Figuratively, of course.)

Voyageurs need to take a deep breath too.

So true, but why did you think Stephen Hart became CMNT head coach?

Because: (1) players liked him; (2) he had favourable results as interim coach during the Gold Cup 2007 and friendly against...
