Hirschfeld returns for Canada

TORONTO (CP) - Lars Hirschfeld returns from injury as Canada travels down to Bolivia for a friendly match next Wednesday.

The keeper, who plays for FC Engerie Cottbus in the German League, picked up his 30th cap against Iceland but missed the 3-2 loss to Macedonia with a shoulder injury.

Stephen Hart has also recalled Adrian Serioux and Jim Brennan, who stayed back in what was a failed attempt to get Toronto FC their first playoff berth in club history. The Reds finished with 37 points, good enough for 3rd in the Eastern Conference, but six Western teams had more points than they did which allowed them to crossover.

Andrew Hainault stays back as his Houston Dynamo take on Chivas USA in the Western Conference final. Issey Nakajima-Farran and Paul Stalteri will miss out due to injuries.

Simeon Jackson seems to have worked his way into the Canadian starting lineup, as he continues to score club goals at a frightening pace. The Gillingham man has 17 scores in 19 matches for his side. Atiba Hutchinson has also impressed, leading FC Copenhagen to the group stage of the Champions League, where they are currently in 4th place in Group A.

Bolivia finished 9th in World Cup Qualifying out of the CONMEBOL section, with their biggest win being a 6-1 smashing of Argentina. While most of their team is domestic based, forward Marcelo Moreno has scored thrice for Werder Bremen of the Bundesliga, and Juan Carlos Arce stars in the Brazilian League.

Canada is ranked 69th in the World (6th in CONCACAF), while Bolivia is ranked 61st (9th in CONMEBOL)

Canucks fight back in heat

LA PAZ (CP) - Before the Canadian team could even touch the ball, they were down 1-0.

However, Jhasmani Campos's first minute goal was all Bolivia could muster, and in 33 degree heat at Hernando Siles, Ali Gerba's 65th minute strike was enough to give Canada a respectable 1-1 draw with Bolivia.

Bolivia had many chances in the first half, but Lars Hirschfield was very strong, stopping three shots. The Bolivians couldn't even manage a single shot on target in the latter portion of the match, as the Canadians managed the heat very efficiently, and David Hoilett's cross found Gerba's head to earn Canada a result.

There is now a long break for the Canucks, as a lack of FIFA match dates ensures that they won't be playing for almost 7 months, before taking on Trinidad & Tobago from Port of Spain in early June 2010.

In CONCACAF news, the United States, who embarassingly lost to Costa Rica at home in their last qualifying match to move them into the CONCACAF/CONMEBOL playoff, beat Uruguay 4-3 on aggregate to advance to the World Cup. As such, they will be joining Mexico, Costa Rica and Honduras in South Africa 2010.

Scoring
First Half
BOL: Jhasmani Campos (Moreno) 1'
Beautiful ball control from Bolivia, Moreno finds Campos from 6 yards out

Second Half
CAN: Ali Gerba (Hoilett) 65'
The Canadian poacher supreme towers over the Bolivian defender and heads ball low into goal

Cards
CAN: None
BOL: None

Stats
Shots: 12-11 Canada
On Target: 4-4
Possession: 56-44 Canada
Corners: 8-4 Canada
Fouls: 11-9 Canada

Attendance: 27,265

Man of the Match
Jhasmani Campos and Ali Gerba share this after they both scored the only goals for their sides. On the Canadian side, a very impressive performance as well from Rob Friend who was a force up front all night.

Upcoming Matches
June 5, 2010 - at Trinidad & Tobago
September 8, 2010 - vs Honduras

World Roundup
I will do an International/MLS roundup on January 1st, a European domestic one on June 1st and then separate ones for the Gold Cup, World Cup and Euro Championship.

Canada
Year in Review
The Canucks participated in the 2009 Gold Cup, finishing at the top of Group A. Canada beat Jamaica and El Salvador before tying Costa Rica, to advance to a quarterfinal matchup against Honduras. Despite controlling a majority of the game, a questionable penalty call gave the Hondurans a 1-0 win and denied a trip to Chicago (random personal story: I actually booked a trip to Chicago to see Canada, but since they lost I ended up going to the White Sox game instead in the afternoon. It just so happened that game was Buehrle's perfect one).

The year also saw the debut of many new national team players. Simeon Jackson, David Hoilett and Nana Attakora were among many to receive their first cap. One player who did, Jacob Lensky, won't be featuring for Canada anymore after announcing that he will play for the Czech Republic (in real life).

Canada won't be in any major competitions in 2010, and will instead look to establish a core for the 2011 Gold Cup.

Canada Match Results
May 30: Cyprus 0-1 Canada
June 30: Canada 3-0 Guatemala (Oxnard)
July 3: Canada 1-0 Jamaica (Carson)
July 7: El Salvador 0-1 Canada (Columbus)
July 10: Costa Rica 2-2 Canada (Miami)
July 18: Honduras 1-0 Canada (Philadelphia)

September 5: Canada 4-1 Haiti
September 9: Canada 2-0 Iceland
October 10: Macedonia 3-2 Canada
November 18: Bolivia 1-1 Canada

Canada Best XI
Age in parenthesis

S - Simeon Jackson (22)
S - Olivier Occean (28)

Voyageurs Player of the Year
1. Ali Gerba, Toronto FC
Although Gerba had some club struggles, jumping from MK Dons to Toronto FC in July, the 28 year old striker was deadly for the Canucks. Gerba scored winning goals in Gold Cup matches against Jamaica and El Salvador, and added three more goals in friendly matches. He has 16 goals for Canada, three off Dale Mitchell's record.

2. Simeon Jackson, Gillingham
Jackson had his first cap on May 30 against Cyprus, and scored the only goal in a 1-0 Canada win. He also added a strike against Macedonia. The Jamaica born but Canadian raised player starred for Gillingham, scoring 12 goals in the latter half of last season, including the winning header that sent the Gills up to League One of the English system. In 26 matches during the 2009-2010 season, Jackson has been absolutely incredible, scoring 22 goals in 26 matches to lead the whole division.

3. Dwayne De Rosario, Toronto FC
This pick was somewhat controversial, as De Rosario skipped the Gold Cup to focus on club play. He was the best player on Toronto FC, scoring eight times for The Reds. DeRo also played well internationally, scoring twice against Haiti and again when facing off against Iceland. De Rosario's age will likely prevent him from being a major factor in qualifying for Brazil 2014, but he should still feature prominently in the 2011 Gold Cup.

Stalteri to make last appearance against Costa Rica

TORONTO (CP) - Stephen Hart has selected both Senior and U-20 sides for a pair of friendlies against the respective Costa Rican teams.

After a friendly matchup with Belgium fell through, Hart managed to arrange a friendly with the Ticos, who are prepping for the World Cup that starts in less than three months.

Canada will be without Daniel Imhof, who announced his retirement from the national team program back in January, and Ali Gerba, who strained his groin in training with Toronto FC and will miss the match. Vancouver's Kyle Porter has the chance to make his first national team appearance, and Paul Stalteri will make his final appearance for the national team after declaring he will retire after the season.

The U-20 team will also play a friendly against the Costa Rican U-20's. They are led by Vancouver's young defender Ethan Gage, as well as West Ham keeper Adam Street. Genoa keeper Robert Stillo rejected the callup, and its believed that he will play for Italy instead of Canada internationally.

Many of Costa Rica's national team players star for Saprissa of the Costa Rican League, but star player Celso Borges is out with a hamstring problem. Bryan Ruiz of FC Twente in Holland will be a player to watch for.

Canada is ranked 70th in the world (6th in CONCACAF), while the Ticos come in at 25th (3rd in CONCACAF).

Canada finds late equalizer

LA PAZ (CP) - Dwayne De Rosario tied Dale Mitchell's all-time Canada goals record, as the Canadian team fought to a 1-1 draw against World Cup-bound Costa Rica at BMO Field.

In what was a surprisingly warm March evening, the Canucks didn't look out of place against a team that's ranked 3rd in the region and will be heading to South Africa in June.

Costa Rica took the lead in the 64th minute when Erick Scott stripped Mike Klukowski of the ball in the box, and fired a brilliant shot just inside the post to make it 1-0. After that, Canada turned to a fully offensive strategy, putting eight players up to attack, and it paid off, with De Rosario being wide open in the box to head in a cross to equalize.

Kyle Porter made his debut for Canada, and he came on for Paul Stalteri, who received a standing ovation upon leaving what will be his final match for the national team. Stalteri's 80 appearances put him two off the all-time record, set by Randy Samuel.

Hart calls 23 for trip to Trinidad

TORONTO (CP) - As the European domestic seasons come to a close, Stephen Hart has called a 23 man squad for a trip to Trinidad & Tobago for a friendly against the Soca Warriors.

Canada will now only call up 23 players to all matches, based upon a new CSA travel policy. Although the U-20 squad currently has 26 at this point, it will also be trimmed to 23 in the future. The Canadian U-20's will take on their T&T counterparts.

T&T is led by Jason Scotland, who has made 43 appearances for his national side. Both of these teams will not be participating in the World Cup, which starts in a week.

Canada has fallen to 79th in the FIFA rankings, but still are 6th in the continent. T&T is one spot ahead of them in CONCACAF, and 55th in the world.

Canada makes statement with huge win

TRN (CP) - Canada went into the heart of CONCACAF and came away with a dominant victory.

The Canucks had four different scorers in a 4-1 romp over Trinidad & Tobago that ended Canada's three game winless streak.

"We came out there today and just fired on all cylinders," manager Stephen Hart, who was born in Trinidad, commented during the post game press conference. "It was a total team effort and its nice to see grab a result like this over an opponent in our region."

The Socas made it to the World Cup in 2006, but failed to qualify for the upcoming tournament, that starts next Friday in South Africa. Canada hasn't qualified for a World Cup since 1986, their only appearance in international soccer's largest event.

Rob Friend, Atiba Hutchinson, Simeon Jackson and Josh Simpson, four players who will be large factors over the next few years for the Canadian side, all scored. Carlos Edwards scored for Trinidad once it was already 4-0.

"We did a great job moving the ball down the flanks today," said Simpson, who scored the 4th goal on a keeper blunder. The Canucks dominated the outside game, throwing crosses into the box and managing to find trailing midfielders all day long.

David Hoilett left the game late with an injury, but Hart did not believe it was serious. Hoilett is gaining an expanded role with the squad after performing above expectations in the Belgian Jupiter this season.

For now, both teams will go home and watch the World Cup, but Canada has a few friendlies in the near future, including a spotlight match against England on August 15th.

Scoring
First Half
CAN: Rob Friend (De Rosario) 28'
De Rosario whips the corner in and Friend gets above the defender to head it home
