Yesterday the CSA finally announced what every hardcore Canadian soccer supporter had long known, that its men’s national team would be taking on powerhouse Argentina in Buenos Aires on May 25.
Somehow, little Canada got chosen as the opponent for Lionel Messi and company’s final preparatory match prior to jetting off to South Africa for the World Cup. In fact, the match will also headline Argentina’s bicentenary celebration.

Apparently, Toronto FC is the biggest collection of morons in the history of world sport, for (possibly) donning a star above its crest in commemoration of last year’s Nutrilite Canadian Championship win.
So says repeat Canada-baiter Bill Archer, who apparently hates all things Canuck so much that he finds the time to laboriously pore through every piece of available information on us in order to feel better about being a Crew supporter. All supporters of the Columbus Crew are supposed to hate all thing Canadian soccer, especially the stuff emanating from Hades’ lair also known as Southern Ontario, in case you weren’t completely up to speed.

At TFC we’re discussing requiring Academy players to commit to Canada if called. We wont develop a player who turns his back on Canada.
That’s what Toronto FC Business Director Paul Beirne posted to his Twitter account earlier today. It’s an astonishingly profound statement to be coming from the club, even if it is merely a one-liner in the “discussion” stages.

The Canadian Soccer Association released today the roster for its men’s team’s upcoming friendlies versus Macedonia (Nov. 14) and Poland (Nov. 18), with very few surprises.
TFC’s own Julian de Guzman and DC United’s Dejan Jakovic are the only two North American-based players to be called to the squad, with the rest of the 17-man roster comprised of European-based internationals.

Amid all of the hullabaloo about the Vancouver Whitecaps and Montreal Impact possibly playing in a brand new American second division next year, their former (and possibly future) league has let loose that it may be adding two more Canadian franchises to its ever-fluctuating fold, possibly as early as 2010.
The USL has indicated that interested investors from Edmonton and Ottawa may land teams in its First Division within the next two years, effectively replacing (or joining) the disgruntled Whitecaps and Impact as the Canadian flagbearers of USL-1.
