Training camp rocks

January 20, 2007

The Canadian National men’s soccer team is training in Florida.

Today I interviewed Dwayne De Rosario for grassrootsnorth.ca.

Dwayne made a great point that, in order to be competitive against other countries, the men’s national team needs time like this training camp to practice and play together.

It just makes sense that even as professionals you can’t expect a team to come together a day or two before a big game and sort everything out.

This training camp is good for Canada soccer. Good work coach Hart.

I’m sculpting my philosophy…

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey – Awooooooooo!

Oh man oh man, I’m loving This sentence will ruin/save your life by the Midland Toronto Ontario band, the born ruffian.

I heard it first on the CBC radio 3 podcast a few weeks back.

It is so kick ass. The guitar, the sparse lyrics, the desperation in the singer’s voice. Okay, perhaps it’s not desperation, maybe just despondency of buying your guitar strings in Midland and strumming your guitar on the town dock while the tourists take pictures from the Miss Midland.

Just have to say – and this is about being toronto based – boys, don’t turn your backs on Huronia. It’s about time there was a solid rock band from Huronia. But all of this talk of where the born ruffians are from, well  it doesn’t matter – This sentence will ruin/save your life is great.

Beckham rules

LA Galaxy just signed David Beckham.

You know, it was sort of to be expected – what with the MLS going through all that trouble calling their new designated player “The Beckham Rule”.

You can read about it here.
