Gerba leads way as Canada romps in World Cup qualifying opener
Jun 16, 2008 04:30 AM

KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent–Issey Nakajima-Farran opened the scoring in the 32nd minute and Canada went on to beat St. Vincent & the Grenadines 3-0 yesterday in the first leg of a two-match qualifying series for the 2010 World Cup.
Ali Gerba, who came on for the injured Rob Friend after only seven minutes, scored a pair of goals, the first coming two minutes from the break and the second two minutes from full time.
The return leg is set for next Sunday at Saputo Stadium in Montreal.
Seemingly unaffected by the afternoon's 30 C heat, the Canadians never allowed the Vincentians to settle, taking control of the midfield with ease as Julian de Guzman, captain Paul Stalteri and Tomasz Radzinski all combined with short passes to overcome the steamy conditions.
"We knew that the heat would be a factor but our intention was to play at a comfortable pace and keep control of the ball," said Canadian head coach Dale Mitchell.

[flatpicker]

wow... they really broke the bank on news coverage for that Canada match. Three newspapers with the exact same article... if you are gonna go cheap on the writing, at least give us a picture from the game to go with it. It ain't hard these days to have someone snap a pic on a cellphone and send it to you the media.

gotta love Ricketts quotes:

"I was just glad I could give back something to the fans today," Ricketts said. "All my goals are spectacular and I was glad I could score today.

"I'd been thinking for a while, when am I going to score? Why can't I score? I'm so skillful, why can I know score?" Ricketts said.

I laughed out loud at that chick.. hahahahahahah. she's trying wayyy too hard and turns into a joke.

Love it:

"I'm an upset coach despite the win, because we need to have the professionalism to drive home a 3-nil win and not get complacent and lazy like we did," Toronto FC coach John Carver said.

This is why we have a winning team. Carver will always have our guys working their asses off.
