    CONCACAF Nations League

    As we return to the Club Footballing season (COYG!!), i just wanted to give John Herdman and the CMNT a big thumbs up for their recent performance. Yes it was against a "minnow" however, I thought that the quality of the players that made up the team was in and of itself a good sign for the...

    CONCACAF Nations League

    I must admit that I am excited about the new Concacaf Nations League format that has started this week. It's something that I believe will help strengthen the region and in particularly our CMNT. After the initial seeding round is done, national teams will get to compete with each other in...

    Canadian Premier League - Startup Spring 2019?

    Mud indeed! I blame the ambiguity of my previous post on the inhalation of too much smoke (BC forest fire kind). Agree that they need to find a better solution / location. I'm not privy to all of the history in the region so it may seem funny when i ask "What about Swanguard Stadium?

    Canadian Premier League - Startup Spring 2019?

    So it would seem that the roll out of announcements for the first teams in the newly minted Canadian Premier League (CPL) are complete. Seven teams so far. They were originally hoping for 8 to 10 teams to begin next season. Interestingly the team slated or hoped for the lower mainland went to...

    Arsenal's Mesut Ozil

    In the spirit of "a little hyperbole never hurt anyone". “Lasting six seconds from the first touch until the moment it nestles in the back of the net and so exquisite it deserves to play on an endless loop until the end of time, Mesut Ozil's winning goal against Ludogorets could be enough to...

    ENGLISH PREM LEAGUE 2016/17

    Another 3 points for the Gunners in Champions League. Almost made a mess of it at the start but righted the ship in time to go top of the group. Next up Spurs who have their own CL match to play tomorrow. Going to be a heck of a derby day at the weekend.

    5 District Schedules for 2016-2017?

    The U11 & U12 divisions in Dist 5 have been "tiered further" by splitting them up into A,B, & C sub-divisions. Most of the sub-divisions have 10 teams each, with a couple of exceptions that have 8 or 12 teams. Looks like they're moving things gradually to avoid potentially jumping the gun on...

    October 7th - October 10th Weekend Recaps

    Thank you for that. We agree that increasing coaching standards is fundamentally more important as it pertains to improving player development in Canada. At the end, the whole will be greater than the sum of its' parts :D

    October 7th - October 10th Weekend Recaps

    To clarify, the Wesburn tournament which we participated in over the thanksgiving weekend did not have any finals. Each team in their various groups (Gold, Silver, etc.) played four games. Everyone received a medal. Scores and results were were kept by the official in charge of the match...
