Ottawa, Ontario – Canada’s Men’s National Team will play the USA, Costa Rica and Cuba in Group B at the 2005 CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) Gold Cup™ which will take place from July 6-24 across the USA, it was announced today.
Canada will play its first two games against Costa Rica (July 7) and the USA (July 9) at Seattle’s Qwest Field before moving to the Gillette Stadium in Foxboro near Boston to face Cuba on July 12.
“I am delighted to be located in Seattle and to give some of our fans a chance to come and support us,” said head coach Frank Yallop. “We are very familiar with Costa Rica having played them twice in qualifying and of course the US game will be a great test for us. We also have some unfinished business with Cuba as they beat us last time out. It’s an exciting draw and it should prove a real test for our young team.”

Canada’s Men’s National Team turned overcame playing a man down for nearly 70 minutes and terrible playing conditions as they battled to a memorable 1-0 win over Northern Ireland in an international friendly at Windsor Park in Belfast on Wednesday.
Playing in what felt like gale force winds at times and in a continuous swirlist mist, Canada found themselves down to 10 men after only 20 minutes when Gabriel Gervais was sent off for his second bookable offence when he was forced to foul in order to avoid a potential breakaway.
Minutes later, Jim Brennan delivered an inch perfect cross off a free kick to Olivier Occean who rose majestically and powered an unstoppable header past Northern Ireland goalkeeper Maik Tyalor.
