Timko leaves her mark

BANGKOK (CP) - Canada has exited the world women's under-19 championship but striker Brittany Timko has left her mark on the tournament.

The 19-year-old from Coquitlam, B.C., was chosen Friday as one of the tournament's "best and most promising players." And depending on what happens in Saturday's final between Germany and China, Timko could emerge as the tournament's leading scorer.

Timko scored seven goals in four games while Anja Mittag of Germany has six goals in five games. The next nearest players have three goals.

Depending on what Mittag does against China, Timko could follow in the footsteps of Christine Sinclair, the Canadian who led the 2002 tournament with 10 goals.

Timko was the only Canadian on the list of 11 stars from the current competition.

"Humble to the last, the lethal markswoman's control, pace and killer instincts see her scale the height's of FIFA.com's 2004 11 shining stars," the FIFA website said.

The Canadians, who tied Germany 3-3 in preliminary round play, were ousted 2-0 by China in the quarter-finals.

Timko kicks ass! I've always been impressed, and with a few more years in the US, she'll become one of the world's best female players. Kudos to a great person.

In my view she is already one of the world's best. My four stars selection for the games we played are Amanda Cicchini, Brittany Timko, Kara Lang and Véronique Maranda. For tomorrow I would like to see China take it all.

Timko leading scorer

BANGKOK (CP) - A Canadian striker once again finished atop the scoring leaders at the world women's soccer under-19 championship.

Brittany Timko of Coquitlam, B.C., emerged as the tournament's leading scorer with seven goals in only four games when Germany's Anja Mittag, with six goals, failed to tally in Saturday's championship game.

Canada lost in the quarter-finals to China and Timko had to hang on as Mittag had two more games to play. But the German didn't score in Saturday's 2-0 victory over China.

Timko followed in the footsteps of Christine Sinclair, the Canadian who led the 2002 tournament at Edmonton with 10 goals.
