5 reasons to pay attention to the Gold Cup:

http://www.metronews.ca/toronto/comment/article/257077--5-reasons-to-pay-attention-to-the-gold-cup


For whatever reason, hardcore soccer fans in this country tend to turn up their nose at the Gold Cup.

There are very valid reasons for any established soccer-loving country to do that, but this is Canada. And, frankly, we’re barely on the beautiful game’s radar right now.

Tournaments like this can help that. In 2000, when Canada shocked Mexico in the quarter-finals and beat Columbia 2-0 in the final, the soccer world sat up and took notice — as did the sporting public here. Canada jumped to 63rd on the world FIFA rankings and earned a berth in the Confederations Cup. We were at least on the world stage — even if it was in an extra’s role.
There are plenty of reasons to take an interest in this year’s Gold Cup, but here are the top 5:

1. Ali Gerba. In Gerba you have a pure goal scorer who can brood up and down the pitch for 80 minutes, before turning on a dime and scoring a goal that will have you out of your seat singing his name (applicable even if you’re watching the game by yourself). The half-volley he took out of the air, giving Canada the win over Jamaica Friday, was simply world class.

2. Julian De Guzman is the kind of player who is easy to miss if you’re not looking for his contribution.

Just as a way of comparison, would TFC supporters be able to get 10 500 signatures and organize a protest on a Sunday afternoon during the off-season just to convince the GM that a player should be re-signed?

Apparently, Canadiens fans did it for Kovalev.

^^^ The Canadiens play hockey in Montreal and have been doing so for about 100 years...

How's that for comparison... ;)

And, did you see Jean Beliveau's comment? Wondering if the team should resign a captain that hasn't won the Cup. That's so Montreal...

It's great to have fans involved, but they don't always make the right choices.

^^^ Agreed. Being a Leafs fan is tough enough, but I had had to live in Montreal for 4 years then then work at Ford for 2 years. No wonder I hate the Habs and the Red Wings :p

Beliveau just doesn't want Koivu to surpass him as the longest serving captain in franchise history.

Well, he's certainly not worried about Koivu getting more Stanley Cup rings as captain than he did ;).

I know he's no longer on TFC, but Croatian 1st league side HNK Rijeka have signed former TFC player Johann Smith

More than likely, unless they sell Anas Sharbini, the club will be in serious financial trouble.

On the plus side, Rijeka are in the 2nd round of Europa League group play.

Beliveau is probably the classiest player to ever play the game, its hard to imagine him being petty.
