If Canada makes it to the next round of World Cup qualifying, national coach Stephen Hart will consider looking at venues other than Toronto’s BMO Field in which to play the home games.

Toronto FC's 1-1 draw with Pumas UNAM may have taken place on Tuesday evening, but the seeds were planted last Saturday. That was the day the Reds played their first choice Starting XI in an away league match against Chivas USA, a curious decision given that the club had the vastly more important CONCACAF Champions League date with Pumas in just three days' time.

Joseph Di Chiara could get his first Canadian national-team cap when the senior squad travels to St. Lucia for an Oct. 7 World Cup qualifier.

Danny Koevermans struck again for Toronto FC, as his first half goal proved to be the difference in TFC's 1-0 win over Tauro FC on Tuesday night at BMO Field.

The new coach of the Canadian women’s program got a good result, a 1-1 draw with the World Cup runner-up United States in Kansas City.

But national coach Stephen Hart made it clear in a conference call Thursday that he thinks the atmosphere can get a heck of a lot better — and if it wasn’t for the travel issues, he’d prefer to have the team move around Canada rather than call Toronto its sole home.

Simeon Jackson and Tossaint Ricketts scored second-half goals late to give Canada an important 3-0 away win Tuesday over Puerto Rico in a 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifier.

Canada lived up to its favourite tag in its World Cup qualifying opener against St. Lucia — completely outplaying the Caribbean club for a 4-1 win Friday at Toronto's BMO Field.

Expect the unexpected. This is what Canada needs to be wary of when it kicks off its first qualifying match against St. Lucia on Friday, as the men’s national team begins its long and tough journey to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

If anyone can relate to the tough task that lies ahead for Canadian head coach Stephen Hart in qualifying for the World Cup, it’s Frank Yallop.
