First things first, congratulations to Paul Stalteri on winning his 83rd and record breaking cap, which is no mean feat considering at times the national team has seemed to be nothing but a distant memory. Now to the game and a very impressive performance. Canada’s central three in midfield did an excellent job of stopping Honduras [...]
There is little doubt amongst Canadian football fans that the crowd tonight in Montreal is going to be pro-Honduran. There has also been a lot of bitterness towards the size and makeup of the crowd in Toronto for the Peru game. I would even go as far as to say some of the comments I [...]
Canada lost 2-0 in Toronto to Peru, but what did it teach us? Well first of all, while Canada can’t really complain too much about the result, 2-0 probably flattened the Peruvians a little. The game was for the most part played out by two relatively even teams. The difference between the teams was the [...]

Cheekbones, or James Milner as he is also known has had a busy summer. I was lucky enough to spend some quality time with him in South Africa which was nice. Despite both playing for Aston Villa we don’t get much of a chance to hangout. Cheekbones tends to hang out with the ‘cool’ guys [...]
Well it was great to finally get the games underway.
