De Guzman rips into Canadian Soccer Association
The Associated Press

Canadian midfielder Julian de Guzman blasted the Canadian Soccer Association on Thursday, saying it does not take the game seriously, and that is what led Canada's national team to play like "a bunch of amateurs" in its failed bid to qualify for the 2010 World Cup.
De Guzman, a midfielder with Spanish club Deportivo La Coruna, told the Associated Press that Canada's national team would never succeed internationally until major changes are made.

Names, please
Ryan Johnston
If Julian De Guzman is sincere about changing the fortunes of Canadian soccer, he needs to start naming names.

There is merit in the words of Canadian midfielder Julian De Guzman; but there is also meekness.

Just three weeks after referring to the Canadian Soccer Association as a cancer (http://canadianstretty.blogspot.com/2009/01/julian-deguzman-interview.html), the midfielder was back on the job by adding a bunch of amateurs (http://canadianstretty.blogspot.com/2009/01/julian-deguzman-interview.html) to his assessment. A cancerous bunch of amateurs may indeed be harsh, but it is nothing a little thick skin can't fix. If JDG is serious in his plight for change he needs to start naming names and quit with the ambiguity.

Johnston's piece lacked bite in its message. The CSA, Dale have been called out already. JDG is going about it differently so as to remain on the team. I don't see how calling them Cancerous is wimpy. He's got my and their attention.

Moring D, Moring guys! Techno players have been saying stuff about Mitchell for the longest time. DeRo, Brennan, Friend...just to name a few. The responsiblity lyes souly on the CSA to do what is right for the Canadian Soccer Team (Men's and Women's). They havn't done jack, and I do see them doing jack. Until this were not good enough attitude leaves the CSA we are stuck in this state for a while.

The Voyageurs Demand Soccer Coaching Change


PRESS RELEASE

The Voyageurs, Canada’s leading soccer supporters group, call on the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) to reconsider its decision to ratify Mr. Dale Mitchell as head coach of the senior men’s national soccer team.
Given the extremely poor results, substandard play and lack of leadership in the men's national program, the Voyageurs believe that Mr. Mitchell should be immediately relieved of his responsibilities.

oooohhhh the Voyageurs are calling for change! what a bunch of twats. As far as i'm concerned they are a substantial part of the problem. At some points they have to realize calling for change, wearing clever t-shirts and funny chants are not going to work. Something more severe has to be done, simple as that. Until then everyone enjoy watching the World Cup from the sidelines.

Don't pretend that's a bad thing Jabbronies.

On a TFC note it is about time the Voyagers voiced their opinion. Footy fans in this country have been quite for too long. It's time showed how great a country Canada is. Get some talent behind the bench and get a working system in place to infuse our NT with more talent.

sorry, i'm just still very bitter over the whole WCQ last year, I really thought this was the year. I dont think I can take another WCQ without making the WC, I think i'm giving up on the Men's Soccer team, unless we're handing out ass kickings at CSA events, i'd be in for that.
