- [Eric sees red as Whitecaps draw Revs in bizarre match](https://the11.ca/eric-sees-red-as-whitecaps-draw-revs-in-bizarre-match-2/) - And, while the Whitecaps came back in stoppage time to draw Sporting Kansas City 3-3 on Saturday, they surrendered a 93rd-minute last-gasp goal to New England’s Ilija Stolica and had to settle for a 1-1 draw with the Revolution in front of 19,396 fans. But the talking point won’t be the Stolica equalizer. It will be the bizarre sequence that followed Eric Hassli’s penalty-kick goal in the 56th.
- [Whitecaps overwhelm Toronto FC at euphoric Empire Field](https://the11.ca/whitecaps-overwhelm-toronto-fc-at-euphoric-empire-field-2/) - In 2007, it took Toronto FC 23 minutes and 13 seconds its fifth MLS game before it could register a goal.

- [Errors in the back prove costly as Impact overwhelmed by Henry, Red Bulls](https://the11.ca/errors-in-the-back-prove-costly-as-impact-overwhelmed-by-henry-red-bulls-2/) - But, the realist will have to admit that the Impact gave way too many gifts to the offensively charged Red Bulls. And, a team that makes as many glaring errors as the Impact can have no qualm about taking zero points from match.

The Impact is red-hot at the moment, earning 14 points out of the last 21 on the table. With the additions of MLS loaners Miguel Montano and Ryan Pore, the attack has been transformed. Evan Bush is the best keeper in NASL. Wouldn’t it suit Carolina best to ensure that the team most likely to make a Cinderella run from a low seed didn’t make the playoffs at all?

- [Impact sends Mallace, Ubiparipovic to Minnesota](https://the11.ca/impact-sends-mallace-ubiparipovic-to-minnesota-2/) - MUFC has been the most disappointing team in NASL.

Aunger, the Red Deer, Alta. native who was capped 44 times by the national team, was the first Canadian to ever play on an MLS Cup winner, the D.C. United side of 1999 that some would argue is still the greatest team to ever play in the league. “Making it in that league at that time was very difficult,” said Aunger, who now works in New York as a private banker. “At the time, we, the Canadian players, counted as import players."

It

It’s easy to follow the logic from there. If the teams are scheduled to play later this year as official Div.-2 entrants, then NASL must be regarded as Div.-2.

He said the indications he has from the CSA is that the format for the four-team NCC will be released in the next couple of weeks, and that the Impact and FCE would be seen as Div. 2 clubs. But, he is confident that all eight NASL teams will have Div. 2 status after Saturday’s United States Soccer Federation vote in Las Vegas. The NASL expects the USSF board to approve its re-application for Div. 2 status on Friday, and then have the membership ratify that vote on Saturday.

Now that Canada has lost its opener (1-0 to Ghana at BMO Field), the best it can realistically hope for out of Group A is to scrap its way into second place. And that will mean, unless the world turns topsy-turvy, Canada would face the Germans.

Only the RailHawks have kept their part of the bargain. When surveying the Impact’s 2-0 road loss to Carolina Sunday, you would be excused for assuming that the RailHawks were preparing to jump to MLS next season while Montreal was, well, just a bad team.

Why both sides are right](https://the11.ca/to-keep-score-or-not-keep-score-why-both-sides-are-right-2/) - But, for the wide majority of youth players who are in soccer for other reasons, who have no hope of being a pro, keeping score IS important. For a young person looking to head to high school, university, job, it’s important that they learn about winning and losing at a young age. They need to learn about the importance of teamwork, about how working with others can lead to positive results. They need to learn about picking up a teammate after a loss.

- [TFC chops six players —  including four Canadians](https://the11.ca/tfc-chops-six-players-including-four-canadians-2/) - Still, the move will likely dampen the enthusiasm of TFC fans who hold the moral high ground over Montreal and Vancouver supporters; TFC fans could claim their team’s Canadian content was much higher than the Impact and Whitecaps.

And you can't find anything in the P-1, O-1 or H2B U.S. work visa applications that specifically mention Canadians.

But Lemire might not be the only Aviators refugee for long. The team’s brain trust — including general manager Mel Kowalchuk, director of soccer operations Joe Petrone and coach Harry Sinkgraven, have been looking at other former Aviators, including Liam de Silva, another Alberta product. Lemire still retains close ties with his former Aviators teammates, including former Whitecap Gordon Chin, and the FCE bosses have asked for some phone numbers.

Yes, Whitecaps supporters will be unhappy to see a Cascadia and conference rival pick up maximum points and also pad the vital goals-for column.

But, if players who are with MLS teams but don’t get the chance at first-team MLS football are offered the chance to move on, then we can argue that truly, USL is a system that puts the development of the player, first.

Even a big English or German or Italian side will feel like seeing a bar band after you’ve had the chance to teleport to 1968 and see the Stones live in the flesh.

They’ll always have that historical link to the league and Canadian soccer.

- [What Canada has left: How it can qualify for U-17 World Cup](https://the11.ca/what-canada-has-left-how-it-can-qualify-for-u-17-world-cup-2/) - To recap: Under the new format, the top team in the group gets an automatic entry into the U-17 World Cup. The second- and third-place finishers will play win-and-in playoff matches that also include the second- and third-place teams from Group A (but, under the new rules, they don't necessarily cross over; the four teams would be ranked based on the points they got in the group stage; then it's 1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 3).

The sexy DP is a key part of the strategy of Maple Leaf Sports and President Tim Leiweke, who is quickly finding that selling star players on the notion of coming to a last-place team in Canada isn’t quite as easy as selling them on the rock-star lifestyle of Los Angeles. Let’s face it, Cherry Beach ain’t the Santa Monica Pier.
- [FC Edmonton ready for another physical tilt with San Antonio](https://the11.ca/fc-edmonton-ready-for-another-physical-tilt-with-san-antonio-2/) - But that San Antonio team might bear no resemblance to the team that Scorpions coach Tim Hankinson brings to Edmonton this weekend.

- [Eddies need other options as Saiko gets more attention from defenders](https://the11.ca/eddies-need-other-options-as-saiko-gets-more-attention-from-defenders-2/) - “By the attention that I am getting, I know I am doing something right,” said Saiko on Thursday. “But I have to find a way to fight through it, to still find a way to produce. And, if they (opponents) are around me, that means space opens up for other people to step up.”

The former Norwich City striker, who is unattached, is off to Europe to pursue a “club commitment” there. Jackson’s departure has the blessing of current Canadian men’s national-team coach Colin Miller.
- [Miller will coach Canada at the Gold Cup](https://the11.ca/miller-will-coach-canada-at-the-gold-cup-2/) - The FC Edmonton coach was granted permission by the Eddies to steer the Canadian national team through the July tourney. The fact that the NASL schedule goes on hiatus in July allowed Miller the time needed to prepare and coach the squad.
- [The elephant in the room: CFL is the forgotten partner in the Women's World Cup turf-vs.-grass debate](https://the11.ca/the-elephant-in-the-room-cfl-is-the-forgotten-partner-in-the-womens-world-cup-turf-vs-grass-debate-2/) - When it comes to the looming legal action against FIFA and the Canadian Soccer Association over the decision to stage next year’s Women’s World Cup on artificial turf surfaces, there are some rather large elephants in the room who are choosing to remain quiet.
- [Floro gets his first Canadian win as the home team scores three, count' em, three!](https://the11.ca/floro-gets-his-first-canadian-win-as-the-home-team-scores-three-count-em-three-2/) - Yes, Canada’s first two goals came on set pieces, and the third goal was the result of a howler from Jamaican keeper Andre Blake — who certainly did nothing to convince his Philadelphia Union bosses that he deserves a shot between the sticks in MLS action anytime soon. But, still, three goals!
- [The Quebec Soccer Federation deserves the silent treatment from the CSA](https://the11.ca/the-quebec-soccer-federation-deserves-the-silent-treatment-from-the-csa-2/) - Now, this is where we get back to Shatner/Kirk. In the classic original series, this is pretty well how Kirk “negotiated” with any adversary. He laid out his terms, then he told Uhura to cut the communications. He wanted to make the other captain sweat. He understood the value of silence. You’ve set the boundaries, laid out the consequences, why the rhetoric?
- [FIFA's turban endorsement has troubling loopholes](https://the11.ca/fifas-turban-endorsement-has-troubling-loopholes-2/) - The “with conditions” part should be of some concern, because the loopholes that exist in Friday’s FIFA pronouncement are wide enough to drive a truck through.
- [Quebec Soccer Federation lifts turban ban](https://the11.ca/quebec-soccer-federation-lifts-turban-ban-2/) - The QSF made the announcement Saturday; and that should bring an end to a skirmish that took on an ugly political life over the last week.

According to MLSPU Executive Director Bob Foose: “All contracts are calculated in U.S. Dollars, players can then choose to have them paid in either, or a combination.”

Please don’t vote more than once. I have this poll policed, but technology is never 100 per cent efficient.

But even though the scoreline was less severe, it was a more sobering reality check than the match against the U.S.
- [Schmidt's super show propels Canada to win — but it also serves as pre-World Cup warning](https://the11.ca/schmidts-super-show-propels-canada-to-win-but-it-also-serves-as-pre-world-cup-warning-2/) - The Sophie Schmidt show was good enough to beat England. She scored a fantastic goal from just outside the penalty area, had a free kick fly just inches over the bar, and had a good attempt off a short-corner set piece.
- [Quintessentially Canadian Power Rankings, MLS Week 13/NASL Week 9](https://the11.ca/14678-3/) - Ouimette now has five appearances, four of them starts, for the Red Bulls.

- [Quintessentially Canadian Power Rankings, MLS Week 16/NASL Week 11 (summer break)](https://the11.ca/quintessentially-canadian-power-rankings-mls-week-16nasl-week-11-summer-break-2/) - The revealing good news/bad news scenario in this week’s Quintessentially Canadian Power Rankings is found in this past weekend’s Vancouver Whitecaps match.

After a hectic WPS and World Cup schedule, Canada’s reigning player of the year took a sabbatical and missed Canada’s last two friendlies against the United States. But, in a style to which Canadian fans have grown accustomed, Sinclair returned to score a key goal.
- [FCE fall-season opener conflicts with WWC final: How NASL blew the fall schedule](https://the11.ca/fce-fall-season-opener-conflicts-with-wwc-final-how-nasl-blew-the-fall-schedule-2/) - So some of the fault lie with NASL, for not figuring out it should try not to stack the Eddies with so many road games later in July — and basically force a conflict with arguably the biggest soccer game this country will ever host. Does it make sense that the NASL is ballyhooing its July 4 opening weekend schedule, but having a Canadian team play at home? Seriously, if getting fireworks and hot dogs into the schedule was such a big deal, why not have the Eddies open the season on July 1 — Canada Day?
- [FC Edmonton's Saiko hopes to appeal controversial card decision in 1-1 draw with Minnesota](https://the11.ca/fc-edmontons-saiko-hopes-to-appeal-controversial-card-decision-in-1-1-draw-with-minnesota-2/) - FC Edmonton midfielder Shaun Saiko hopes that he can appeal the second yellow card he received in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with the NSC Minnesota Stars. The red card would see him miss next Sunday’s home date with the Montreal Impact, who FC Edmonton, currently second in the NASL standings with a 6-4-2 record, hasn’t beaten this year.
- [Halfway home: Minnesota edges closer to NASL title](https://the11.ca/halfway-home-minnesota-edges-closer-to-nasl-title-2/) - The Stars’ Cinderella run through the NASL playoffs looks like it might never strike midnight.

He’s got his long blond locks tied into a knot atop his head, in a design that makes you wonder if there’s such a thing as a viking-samurai crossover.
- [Quintessentially Canadian Power Rankings, MLS Week 14/NASL Week 10](https://the11.ca/quintessentially-canadian-power-rankings-mls-week-14nasl-week-10-2/) - It was moving day on the Quintessentially Canadian Power Rankings.

The Loons won the spring season and have the best overall record in NASL. And, the team also is home to the league’s top striker, Christian Ramirez. He leads NASL with 13 goals. No one else in the league has more than eight goals.
- [For TFC, is an Altidore reclamation project worth the risk?](https://the11.ca/for-tfc-is-an-altidore-reclamation-project-worth-the-risk-2/) - When the CBA expires in the middle of the month, we can’t say for sure how many DPs a team will be able to have, and what the cap hits for those DPs will be. Basically, Altidore’s signing would play into a series of moving parts that makes it hard to truly pinpoint the kind of domino effect he would have on the roster.
- [How FC Edmonton could turn its cursed luck into the marketing campaign it badly needs](https://the11.ca/how-fc-edmonton-could-turn-its-cursed-luck-into-the-marketing-campaign-it-badly-needs-2/) - It’s the team nobody wants. The team that’s the black sheep of its league. The team that’s the black sheep of its home and native land. And that’s how FCE should sell itself to Edmonton. That’s it’s a club that has to overcome its own history of cursed luck and circumstance; it could be a unique selling point.
- [The Impact threw away the Voyageurs Cup 10 minutes before Cabrera was sent off](https://the11.ca/the-impact-threw-away-the-voyageurs-cup-10-minutes-before-cabrera-was-sent-off-2/) - Montreal’s four-on-two was a comedy of errors.

According to a release from the league, “The NASL will need to meet certain requirements defined by the Board of Directors to be granted full sanctioning beyond the 2011 season.”

- [Impact snatches draw out of the jaws of defeat in Chicago](https://the11.ca/impact-snatches-draw-out-of-the-jaws-of-defeat-in-chicago-2/) - In a match more memorable for milestones and miscues than technique or tactics, the Montreal Impact scored first, scored last and managed to snatch a draw from the jaws of all-but certain defeat, tying the Chicago Fire 2-2 at Toyota Park.
- [Impact leaves it late, but club returns to winning ways](https://the11.ca/impact-leaves-it-late-but-club-returns-to-winning-ways-2/) - “It was a happy ending,” offered head coach Marco Schallibaum, who managed to remain on the sidelines for the entire game rather than making an early exit as he has in both games against SKC played earlier in the schedule. “When you change someone to bring on fresh legs and the guy you send on gets the goal, there’s a bit of luck involved. We deserved it because we dominated the second half and managed to defeat the team that, I think, is, at the moment, the best team in MLS.”
- [Despite some glimmers of hope, Canada shut out yet again in international play](https://the11.ca/despite-some-glimmers-of-hope-canada-shut-out-yet-again-in-international-play-2/) - But it didn’t come to pass.

- [MLS officiating crackdown already taking its toll](https://the11.ca/mls-officiating-crackdown-already-taking-its-toll-2/) - Before the kickoff of the season, MLS headquarters instructed its officials to crack down on fouls in the box and to make absolutely certain that a player was in an offside position before raising the flag. More penalties, more cards, less offside calls — the recipe to boost scoring. We are clearly seeing the effect of the mandate. Fans will likely have to get used to seeing the flag stay down more often than not.
- [Stats show link between number of draws and playoffs; are there lessons there for MLS?](https://the11.ca/stats-show-link-between-number-of-draws-and-playoffs-are-there-lessons-there-for-mls-2/) - But if MLS wants to see more exciting games, more late match-winners, especially with its new TV deals in the United States, it could look at reducing the number of teams that make the playoffs. As it becomes more competitive to get a playoff spot, coaches and players may not be as willing to settle for draws.

Just with the four Florida teams, the Eddies are looking at four road trips of 3,000-4,000 km (one-way) each. It’s given wisdom that flying an NASL team and paying for hotels and meals costs north of $20,000 a trip. But Fath told me that, when the Eddies faced Fort Lauderdale in the playoffs back in the FCE’s inaugural season, booking seats and hotels last-second ballooned the costs to over $40,000 for that trip.

And, it most certainly means more editors saying “no” to doing anything more than using wire copy for MLS Cup.

Your leagues — Serie A, La Liga and, yes, even the English Championship — they’re the hot girl who treated you like crap in high school but you kept trying to talk to her anyway.

I’d rather be going in with a 6-2 aggregate win, which is how we beat Brighton, than coming in on a 2-1 score after extra time that you had to claw and scratch to win, like they did over Wigan. They are going to have the mindset that they’re happy to be there, while we feel that we have shown we deserve to be in the Premiership.”

But what was surprising that Baart wasn’t even dressed. Jaswinder Gill had the back-up duties last night. And the club confirmed Thursday that Baart’s absence from the starting lineup and the bench was a coach’s decision. There wasn’t an injury situation.

- [Leathers doesn't deserve extra scrutiny because of Mullan tackle](https://the11.ca/leathers-doesnt-deserve-extra-scrutiny-because-of-mullan-tackle-2/) - Jonathan Leathers shouldn’t become a victim of bad timing. Each and every week during the season, the league’s disciplinary committee reviews the goings-on of the previous week’s games. Of course, the red cards are looked at, but so are all of the other incidents. General managers will ask the league to review plays; those requests are always agreed to.

But, when 2011 comes to a close, the Fury deserve to rank with any of the hockey teams that traditionally dominate that vote.

There’s a recognition that if you have a talented generation of footballers, you need to develop them, post-haste. It’s an exceptionally ballsy, lay-it-on-the-line goal to say that you want to be a top-10 FIFA nation... in just a little over three years.

The rest of his FC Dallas teammates, losers of a 2-1 decision after extra time in Toronto, had left the field. But McCarty stood and stared at the Rapids’ celebration. Wondering what could have been. Wondering what would have happened if a ball off the foot of Colorado sub Macoumba Kandji hadn’t taken a strange deflection off defender FC Dallas George John in the 108th minute and looped past the goal line. What could have happened in penalty kicks had John’s last-gasp effort at redemption, from point blank range, not been stopped by the outstretched hand of Rapids’ keeper Matt Pickens.

And he has obviously learned that management is a cruel business.
