By: Daryl | 4 Comments
I love Craigslist. You can find anything on there: Jobs, apartments, true love, one night stands (ahem, apparently) and - best of all - trades. Like this one.
One brave Toronoto FC fan has offered to trade one third of his reproductive equipment for Houston Dynamo’s Canadian goal machine Dwayne De Rosario. Not sure exactly what [...]

By: Laurie | 10 Comments
I love YouTube. I knew it was only a matter of time before we got to see for ourselves the hoolie porn actions of the fun guys at the previously discussed Columbus-West Ham friendly.
FYI, gents? There’s nothing ladies find more attractive than drunken guys duking it out. Especially when they’re wearing [...]

Yesterday in Seattle, the Canadians took on mighty Brazil, always a challenge, even at (or near) home. Granted, it was without Kaka and a few of the biggest stars, but Luis Fabiano was there, and as you can see above, so was Robinho. He hopped on what is described aptly in the video [...]

From NationalPost.com:
“If I score again against Real Madrid, I can go a year without sex.” — Canadian soccer player Julian De Guzman. …
His coach Miguel Ángel Lotina reportedly came out the next day saying, “How dare he say that, sex is sacred.” De Guzman has scored against Madrid before, in a 3-1 victory at home [...]

Bad news for Canadians yesterday as 20 year old attacking midfielder Jonathan de Guzmán turned his back on all things maple leaf and decided to play for Holland instead. De Guzmán was born in Toronto, but snapped up by Feyenoord Rotterdam at the tender age of 12. He’s been playing in the Eredivisie since he [...]
Category: North AmericaPie Chart of Owen Hargreaves’ Accent
By: Daryl | 7 Comments
Owen Hargreaves is settling nicely into Manchester United’s midfield, with a solid enough display in today’s 2-2 draw at Arsenal. But for the longest time he wasn’t popular popular in England. Partly because of his piss poor 80th minute substitute performances in an England shirt and partly, I suspect, because he talks funny.
It’s not English [...]

With MLS Thursday on ESPN now as American as an SUV full of apple pies and David Beckham on the way, the future of American soccer is safe. And it’s looking good north of the border too. Toronto FC are showing all the other MLS fans how it’s done, with great attendance, passion and - [...]

When she showed up for her team’s youth soccer match in Quebec, Canada, 11-year-old Asmahan “Azzy” Mansour was dressed as she always is for a game. She had on her team’s uniform, her shin guards and her boots. Mansour, a practicing Muslim, also had on her hijab, a traditional head covering worn by [...]

With more than 50 international matches slated for Wednesday, today is the proverbial calm before the storm. This offers us an opportunity to take a peak outside the football world for a moment. We all know that Canada hasn’t exactly set the world on fire on the pitch. I blame Owen Hargreaves [...]

By: Bob | 1 Comment
Maybe you watched the MLS playoffs this past weekend and thought that you could do better than some of the feeble shots taken by DC United’s forwards. Or maybe you are sitting on the bench right now in Madrid wishing you had the chance to bend it in the starting lineup once again. [...]
