THE STARTING 11: Reasons for Canada Soccer’s Recent Woes
Yes this is primarily a Toronto FC site and yes The Starting 11 is usually Reds or MLS specific but sometimes we have to root around our backyard. Amongst the recent weeds has been a largely mind-numbing journey with Canada Soccer. At press time (I have a fedora – shut it) whole flotillas of men’s and women’s national sides have not only failed to succeed in tournaments, but have managed to only find the net once –...

Thursday’s action started with Germany and Norway, I didn’t see much of it, but the result is definitely a surprise, 1-1, good for Norway and a very nice equaliser direct from a free kick.
