Mexico wins again...oh hum!

            MLS is inferior…well that is what the stats tell us. The last 3 Champions
League era there have been 3 Mexican winners. To take it a step further of the 6 participants there has only been one MLS team (RSL). The CONCACAF Champions Cup (Champions League replace this) we have to all they way back to 2000 to find a MLS team in the Final (LA Galaxy) Wow…MLS is suffering an inferiority complex.

            Yes MLS has got better but I have been promised my the media since the 1994 World Cup the USA would be a power in soccer. Well we are no power in CONCACAF with the clubs…that goes to Mexico…..

So I sit and wait and pretend MLS games are better than the Mexican League games on the Spanish channel...I am kidding myself...and so are you.The Mexican clubs just do not want to hear this.

CONCACAF new qualifying proposal

This is MLS take on CONCACAF....

T&T get a quality international coach to turn thing around

Here is a great interview with Otto by Fifa

German coach Otto Pfister



I use to like when T&T had a good attacking team. Now they have hired a quality international coach to lead them into WCQ. He is old 73 yikes. Lets hope he can organize this team. I like the rivalry they had with Jamaica.

Fifa Article on Canada

Canda's Josh Smith battles with a Greek international player.

I think Canada is one of the stronger CONCACAF nations. I believe they are as good as the Teir 1 Central American Nations. Those being Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama. I would also throw Jamaica into the Teir to be fair.

Canada does not play in the Central American Cup so we can only gauge them in WCQ and the Gold Cup. The last Gold Cup they beat Jamaica and El Salvador and tied Costa Rica. They won Group A in this Gold Cup. They then lost the Honduras in the quarter finaals.

Gold Cup 2007
The opening game they beat Costa Rica 2-1. Lost to Guadeloupe. Then beat Haiti. They earned enough points to again won Group A. In the quarterfinals they belted Guatemala 3-0 then lost in a controversial game against the USA.

The important ganes were World Cup qualification.
  They pounded St Vincent 7-1 aggregate but then were placed in the most difficult group of Mexico, Honduras and Jamaica. The Canucks did not win a single game.


Another aspect of Canada that I like is they play very good European competition...not other weaker CONCACAF nations like most teams in CONCACAF.

They played Greece in Greece and lost 0-1
Then they played Belarus in Turkey and won 1-0.

They other match in 2010 was against Ukraine which was a draw.

They will play Ecuador (56 Fifa ranking) before the Gold Cup.
