Canada vs Jamaica WCQ and no one really gives a shit


Gawd, this is depressing. Less than a week before this nightmare WCQ campaign ends (Wednesday in Jamaica) and still no roster from the CSA. I guess they are having trouble finding players who will actually don the shirt for the MNT. But some good investigative work perusing club sites by OOT has revealed a few callups.

Meanwhile, I have been in a self imposed soccer cone of silence for the past few weeks as I tried to catch up with normal life. Since I have been gone, a hell of a lot has happened, including a horrible head injury to Iain Hume. Hume took and elbow to the face during a Barnsley game over the weekend and is in serious condition. Best of luck to Iain. If he is half the scrapper off the pitch as he is on it then he should be up and at it soon.

Julian De Guzman is also out injured with a muscle micorupture. Too bad as I am sure he would have enjoyed the trip to Kingston with the team, if he would have even decided to make the trip.

Then there is the whole Rob Friend kerfuffle. Did he get all froofroo over Dale Mitchell and quite the MNT in a huff, or was it all just taken out of context – a bad translation of a German language article? Really, I am having a hard time caring right now.

Will this be on TV? Sportsnet has nothing right now. Canucks are playing on Wednesday night at the same time so I am not holding my breath for coverage.

Let’s just be done.

Brutal elbow on Hume. That player deserves to be banned. Get him out of the game.

Absolutely. I have watched it a few times and have been reading more about it. This could really be bad news for Hume. And you have to wonder if anyone really comes back after an injury like that, especially a guy who plays with the intensity level of Iain.
