CONCACAF TrumpTacoPoutine Superbid: What can Canada expect from a joint World Cup effort? 8 Apr 2017 For one, well, FIFA rules state that, for senior tournaments, all games have to be played on the same type of surface. So, of COURSE that means Mexican and American venues are going to have to make sure they’ve got artificial turf to match the Canadian standard! Yes! I can’t wait to hear droning international-feed commentators moaning about how brutal the turf temperature is at Azteca Stadium during an afternoon game in July.
Whitecaps muff chance to draw CCL semifinal level, pay for it in the end 5 Apr 2017 At the end of the night, the “attempts at goal” stat might be 20-2 in your opponent’s favour, so you know that those two chances you’ll get both have to end up in the back of the net.
Goodbye papa, please pray for me: Tigres fans honour Terry Jacks, as their team beats the Whitecaps 14 Mar 2017 But, for most of the second half, the loud-as-hell trumpeter (or was it a trumpet section) in Monterrey’s famous “Volcano” stadium belted out “Seasons in the Sun.” Over and over. Maybe it was because Tigres were playing the Vancouver Whitecaps Tuesday night in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions League semifinal — and well, Terry Jacks is from Vancouver.
Whitecaps follow the Canadian tradition of CONCACAF Champions League success 2 Mar 2017 You know what, America? Instead of wondering “how will we ever beat Mexican teams in the CCL?” focus on trying to be better than the Canadian teams, first. Walk before you run.

NHL’s renaissance means MLS won’t have same window of opportunity it had in 2016 23 Feb 2017 Basically, we have a radically different sports landscape in Canada as MLS is set to open the 2017 season. Unlike last season, the sports media will have its eyes squarely set on the NHL.
Mexico goes big, Canada goes home 20 Feb 2017 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.
Loss to Honduras a severe blow to Canada’s U-20 World Cup hopes 17 Feb 2017 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.
U-20 national team coach Rob Gale: We “selected the best 20 players available to us” 9 Feb 2017 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.
New CONCACAF Champions League to feature 31 teams, but still only room for one Canadian club 23 Jan 2017 Canada provides a real issue for CONCACAF; our recognized national championship is the Voyageurs Cup.
