“There are parts of this team that I’m really comfortable with and, when I look to the future and I’m projecting out four years time and we’re in a World Cup playing against tough opposition, top opposition, which of the players are going be able to cope with that level of competition?”
So, no shaking it; Canadian content in MLS is up this year.
Crepeau’s exploits helped Ottawa to a win over Richmond and a draw with the Fury's old NASL rival, the Indy Eleven.
It just wasn’t that the Whitecaps gave up five. Jozy Altidore was rampant, scoring a hat trick. The Reds were as sharp offensively as they've been all season. But, wow, were the Whitecaps bad. Awful. Insipid.
And Jordan Hamilton, who has played 731 minutes for Toronto FC this season, was down in USL this past weekend, but it was his goal that spurred TFCII to only its second win of the season, a 1-0 decision over Richmond.
On Wednesday night, in the 95th minute of the first leg of the Canadian Championship final, Henry scored a fourth career Voyageurs Cup goal for Toronto FC. Problem is, he’s wearing a Vancouver Whitecaps jersey, now.
