Toronto FC took a step closer to repeating its Nutrilite Canadian Championship riding Alan Gordon’s first-half strike to a 1:0 win Wednesday 4 May over FC Edmonton in the semi-final series.
Call them the Group of Seven, they are the silver backbone to the Canadian team that aims to win a medal this summer at the FIFA Women’s World Cup Germany 2011. They are the seven players that won a silver medal at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Canada 2002, still with the team today and still getting along famously 10 years later.
Il était une fois sept joueuses canadiennes ayant jadis remporté une médaille d’argent à la Coupe du Monde Féminine U-20 de la FIFA au Canada en 2002, disons « les sept merveilles argentées de l’équipe canadienne ». Elles sont toujours à l’appel de l’équipe aujourd’hui avec le même espoir d’atteindre le podium de nouveau lorsque le Canada participera à la prochaine Coupe du Monde Féminine de la FIFA 2011 cet été en Allemagne. Elles sont sept joueuses dotées d’expérience parmi les rangs d’une équipe douée de talent et dont les joueuses s’entendent toujours à merveille après dix ans de parcours.
The two finalists for the 2011 edition of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship will be decided this Wednesday 4 May with the conclusion of the semi-final legs in Toronto and Vancouver.

The Canadian Soccer Association concluded its tour of the seven Candidate Bid Cities sites on Friday 29 April in preparation for the hosting of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup 2014 and FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015™, awarded to Canada on 3 March 2011.
L’Association canadienne de soccer a conclu sa tournée d’inspection de sept sites chez les villes-hôtes candidates, le vendredi 29 avril dernier, en vue de l’organisation de la Coupe du Monde Féminine U-20 de la FIFA 2014 et la Coupe du Monde Féminine de la FIFA 2015™, deux compétitions d’envergure ayant été récemment conférées au Canada le 3 mars 2011.
Impact Montréal is riding a wave of confidence as it arrives in Vancouver for the return leg of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship semi-final leg against Whitecaps FC. The Impact is coming off an impressive 5:0 victory in league action over FC Edmonton on Sunday night. The Impact now hopes it can continue that scoring trend to reverse a one-goal deficit in the championship playoff series.
FC Edmonton knows it can play better football. After opening its inaugural season with some success, it has suffered back-to-back defeats in cup and league action in which it has finished with less than XI players on the pitch.
