Soccer observers knew Jodi-Ann Robinson had talent: raw talent. A house league rookie at age 12, it took her but three years to make the national youth team and win a gold medal at the 2004 CONCACAF Women’s Under-20 Championship. A year later, she was making her debut with the full national team, at the time (and still to this day) the second youngest player to ever suit up for Canada.
Les connaisseurs de soccer ont constaté le talent brut de Jodi-Ann Robinson dès son entrée sur la scène de soccer. Ayant été découvert par une ligue récréative à l’âge de 12 ans, il lui a fallu seulement trois ans avant d’être remarqué par l’équipe nationale juvénile qui l’a aussitôt inscrit parmi ses rangs. C’était donc comme membre de l’équipe juvénile canadienne que Jodi-Ann a remporté l’or au Championnat féminin U20 de la CONCACAF en 2004. Un an plus tard, elle faisait ses débuts avec l’équipe nationale au niveau senior comme la deuxième plus jeune joueuse à avoir été admise au sein de l’équipe à l’époque et encore aujourd’hui même.
Canada will announce its roster for the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup this Monday 23 May. The 20-player lineup will not only compete in the biennial continental championship this 5-25 June, but also be present at the Men’s International Friendly match this 1 June at BMO Field in Toronto. The 1 June match will serve as Canada’s send-off match before the big competition begins less than a week later.
