Seven players who have yet to play a senior “A” match for the women’s national team have been named to what has to be called an experimental Canadian roster ahead of the Yongchuan Cup.

Canadian national-team forward Tosaint Ricketts is fielding offers from various European clubs, but he also respects what Norwegian side, Valerenga, has done for his career. Meanwhile, fellow Edmontonian Matt Lam has recovered from shoulder surgery and has also fielded some offers, but expects to try his luck on a return to Europe.

It took till the final match of the Norwegian League season, but Edmonton’s Tosaint Ricketts finally got himself back onto a scoresheet in a European match.

The Laval Cometes dominate the Canadian roster for the upcoming U-20 Women’s World Cup.

Woods got both of the markers as the Fury beat Laval 2-1, then scored two more in 10-rout of London, as the Ottawa team continues to be the most dominant team in Canadian women’s club soccer.

In an interview today, Hill told The 11 that he welcomes the CSA or the CSL to call him to help with the inquiry — and that there is no excuse for delays. “Right now, innocent or guilty, there is a dark cloud hanging over Canadian soccer,” said Hill. “A court has identified a game that it considers suspicious. Done. Let’s get the investigation started. I am not talking about making arrests. I’m not saying that someone is guilty or innocent. But the investigation has to start right away.”

Canadian soccer followers will have to wait for the German courts to wrap up their match-fixing trials before we have any definitive answers over allegations a 2009 CSL match between the Trois-Rivieres Attak and Toronto Croatia was rigged. “The Canadian Soccer Association is taking the lead on the matter and will be working with FIFA,” said CSL chairman Vincent Ursini. “They are waiting for the German court case to complete its findings.”
