Canada’s men’s national team completed its second day of training today in Montréal, QC under the watchful eye of head coach Dale Mitchell. Mitchell wants another win to close out Stage II of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ Qualifiers. Most importantly, he wants a win in front of the home crowd at Stade Saputo this Friday 20 June.
“There is always pressure,” says coach Dale Mitchell. “There are two games and you have to get it right or it’s done. For all the teams, it is a difficult task. Anything can happen in a two-game series. There is always pressure and expectations. As players and coaches, you deal with it.”
After its third win in three matches, Canada is heading back to the Peace Queen Cup final for a likely rematch with the United States. Canada’s women’s national team posted a 2:0 victory today over New Zealand to finish first in Group A with a perfect 3-0-0 record (9 points). Canada will be heading to the final just as it did at the inaugural Peace Queen Cup in 2006.
The United States is expected to finish first in Group B after Thursday’s matches. After wins against Australia and Brazil, the United States can clinch a spot in the 21 June final with either a win or a draw against Italy. The United States has six points while Australia and Brazil (who meet in the other Thursday match) are tied with three points each.
Après avoir enregistré sa troisième victoire en trois matchs, l’équipe nationale canadienne féminine senior s’est qualifiée pour la finale de la Peace Queen Cup en République de Corée, où elle affrontera probablement les États-Unis. Le Canada a battu la Nouvelle-Zélande sur le score de 2 à 0, aujourd’hui, pour s’emparer de la première place du Groupe A. Le Canada affiche un bilan parfait de 3-0-0 et a enregistré 9 points. Tout comme lors de l’édition inaugurale de la Peace Queen Cup en 2006, le Canada s’est qualifié pour la finale du tournoi.
On attend également la présence de la sélection américaine en finale. Elle devrait terminer à la première place du Groupe B après les matchs de jeudi. Ayant déjà battu l’Australie et le Brésil, les États-Unis peuvent se qualifier pour la finale, qui aura lieu le 21 juin, en battant ou en faisant match nul face à l’Italie. Les États-Unis comptent six points, alors que l’Australie et le Brésil, qui s’affronteront également jeudi, se retrouvent à égalité avec trois points.
The Impact de Montréal pulled away with a 2:0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps tonight, scoring two goals in the second part of the first half. Severino Jefferson and Joey Gjertsen scored the two Impact goals as the home side earned its first victory in the 2008 Nutrilite Canadian Championship.
Impact goalkeeper Matt Jordan posted the clean sheet, stopping 12 shots in the win.
The trophy will be presented to the winners of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship,
Canada’s men’s national team arrived home early Tuesday morning after a long day’s travel from Kingstown, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines.

The two sides will meet this Friday 20 June for the second leg at Stade Saputo in Montréal, QC.
In light of the team’s arrival, coach Dale Mitchell cancelled the team’s morning practice at Stade Claude-Robillard. The team is scheduled to train Wednesday and Thursday at Stade Saputo. Canada has a three-goal lead on its opponent and is in a good position to advance this Friday to Stage III.

The top teams in the North, Central America and Caribbean Zone started down the road to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ this weekend. And while most contests went according to the script or thereabouts, there were a few shocks, most notably Trinidad and Tobago’s 2-1 loss to rank outsiders Bermuda on home soil.
Of the eight Round 2 first leg matches played on Sunday, T&T’s defeat was by far the most surprising. Without injured Sunderland hit-man Kenwyne Jones, new boss Francisco Maturana’s Soca Warriors looked out of sorts from the start, and they found themselves a goal down after only eight minutes thanks to the predatory instincts of journeyman striker John Barry Nusum.
