Results the issue for CSA, players
By GARETH WHEELER

Things are quiet -- a little too quiet.
Like a good horror movie, the silence from the Canadian Soccer Association is eerie.
It has been nearly three weeks since Canada's nondescript 3-0 loss in Kingston, Jamaica, concluded its disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign -- not that you would have noticed with the game not being televised in Canada.
Talk about going out without a bang.
Now, instead of sweeping changes coming from the CSA, which is how most other countries react after a massive letdown, nothing has happened.
So, it is meeting time for the CSA executive and the future of Canadian men's national team head coach Dale Mitchell has to be on the top of the docket.

Future? What future. I think it's pretty obvious he doesn't have one.

IF RECENT TRENDS ARE ANY indication, AC Milan had best cash its investment on David Beckham as soon as he arrives. And MLS must ponder if keeping him beyond 2009 makes sense.

So tepid has been the response to Beckham's arrival with the Galaxy to play a team of Oceanic confederation all-stars in Auckland, New Zealand, that promoters of the game are offering fans a two-fer: buy one ticket, get one free.

"It's important that I keep my fitness up and that's one of the reasons I'm going to Milan for a few months," Beckham said (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iESBslUDampH7pUIS0wjklYaGQlwD94RKKKO1) to the Associated Press upon his arrival to play a friendly match with the Galaxy against a team that will include ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Mark Bosnich and former French international Christian Karembeu. (It will be televised on Fox Soccer Channel at 2 a.m. ET Saturday.)

Mt. Smart Stadium holds just 32,000, but with about one-half of the tickets unsold less than 48 hours before kickoff, the Auckland Regional Council announced the deal and soon was hearing from irate fans who'd bought tickets at the regular price.
