On a Canadian roster packed with young players, it was more of the same. Another winning goal from Christine Sinclair; she scored her 166th career goal for Canada, to give our women’s national team a 1-0 win over Denmark Wednesday in the opener of the Algarve Cup.

Canada Soccer announced today that it has released Director, High Performance, Tony Fonseca effective immediately.

As yet another Canadian men’s Under-20 cycle comes to a premature end, there is the little consolation that it ends on a high note.

Canada lost its second straight game at the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship, this time humbled 5-0 by defending champions Mexico, a team that has not lost in this event since 2009.

There was no way that Canada’s men’s under-20 team was going to qualify for a first World Cup in a decade in its first game, but, after a 1-0 loss to Honduras on Friday night, the drought looks set to continue.

It just wouldn't be a Canadian national-team roster announcement if we didn't focus more on who isn't on the team than who was on the list.

There may be no harder game in Canadian soccer to analyze that Saturday's match at BC Place which saw our women's national side beat Mexico 3-2 on the strength of a Janine Beckie brace.

“The moment I stepped on the pitch, it was better than anything, it was better than an orgasm,” de Guzman said to an Ottawa press-conference room filled with laughter.

Yet, both the Fury and the Canadian Soccer Association have guarded the team’s Canadian-content obligations for 2017 like a state secret. But the fact that there are a dozen non-Canadian-team-eligible players already signed tells us something.

The number of players in NWSL who have their contracts subsidized by the Canadian Soccer Association continues to shrink.
