I appreciate you taking the time. My gruff on the V's board was aimed more towards the content of your blog, Planet Soccer (whose title, in retrospect, should have been a tip off as to the point of that particular blog). It would be great to see a blog called Canada Soccer from the Mothercorp, considering the role and mandate of the CBC. I realize that soccer journalists have to compete against many other sports for space (read hockey). I do appreciate your efforts in bringing Canadian stories to light. I just wish there was more, and a personal blog free from the competitive constraints of the newsroom seems like a great place to do it. Your position allows you access and gives you a perspective on the Canadian game that many of us casual fans don't have. It's a perspective I would love to hear more of. Hi John,

Thank you for the kudos. As for the guff about my failure to write about Canadian soccer (as you suggested on the Voyageurs) that simply isn't true. Although my blog rarely deals with the Canadian game, if you do a general search at cbcsports.ca, you will find I have written a fair bit: news items, features, in depth pieces. No hard feelings - but I just wanted to set the record straight. Keep up the good work with the blog, John Hello. Thank you for the kudos.
