“I have no concern with who will play in goal tomorrow night,” said Miller.

“But I can say that the team will bear very little resemblance of the squad that went to Honduras,” said Miller. “It’s my goal to make sure the players who are coming in will be motivated and will want to help the program move forward. Playing for the national team is a privilege, not a divine right.”

The United States Soccer Federation has confirmed that a Jan. 29 friendly between Canada and the U.S. has been booked for Houston’s BBVA Compass Stadium.

Two goals from Vancouver Whitecap Caleb Clarke supplied all of the offence that coach Nick Dasovic’s charges needed, as Canada beat the host Costa Ricans by a 2-0 count.

The Canadian Soccer Association has accepted the resignation of men’s national-team coach Stephen Hart.

“I think I have six months left on my contract and I have to really sit down and think about this,” said Hart. “Personally I did my best but with this result I don’t think the country’s fans will forgive me.”

But, once the feelings from this loss subside, we will look back at the game that truly cost Canada its chance at the Hex. And that was the June 0-0 draw at home to Honduras.

"That's a good question," responded Occean when asked what happened. "I think in the moment we want to score more goals and want to get the ball back and I lightly pushed the goalkeeper, then red card. So that's rough, that's kind of rough. That's poor refereeing, really poor refereeing."

"We could've at least scored seven goals today, we had so many chances," said Atiba Hutchinson. "There could've been a lot more. Players kind of had their heads down a little bit because we know we could've had more goals."

“It is you guys (the media) who are focused on Honduras,” said Hart. “My discussions with the squad after the Panama game were about Cuba. They continue to be that. It is a dangerous thing to play a game before it arrives.”
