So, well, Fraser Aird sure looked like he was pretty pumped to play for Canada in Scotland, didn’t he?

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!

But it didn’t come to pass. Canada now has gone eight international matches without scoring a goal. The last marker came back on March 22, against Japan.

The Canadian Soccer Association confirmed Tuesday that forward Simeon Jackson, who came on as a sub in Sunday’s shocking Gold-Cup opening loss to Martinique, has left the team. 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.

It is the archetype of the Canadian striker playing professionally in Europe.

English Premier League appearances have been few and far between for Mississauga’s Simeon Jackson — but Canadian soccer followers can hope that his pretty lob goal in FA Cup play Saturday can jump start his season.

Mississauga’s Simeon Jackson has knocked Tottenham out of the Capital One Cup.

“I think I have six months left on my contract and I have to really sit down and think about this,” said Hart. “Personally I did my best but with this result I don’t think the country’s fans will forgive me.”

"We could've at least scored seven goals today, we had so many chances," said Atiba Hutchinson. "There could've been a lot more. Players kind of had their heads down a little bit because we know we could've had more goals."

With Will Johnson out because of yellow-card accumulation and striker Olivier Occean not even making the trip to Central America because of an injury picked up in Friday’s win, Hart will have to make some changes.
