StanleyCupOneDay Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 First matches of the year on the road to CONCACAF and World Cup qualifying. The inaugural Arnold Clark Cup starts today with Canada, Germany, Spain and England national teams facing off once each. Christine Sinclair is out for Canada due to the unfortunate recent passing of her mother. Jessie Fleming is now the captain of this team.

RUPERTKBD Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 As disappointing as it is to see Sinclair out, I think the torch had already been passed. Beckie is probably the team's #9 and Huitema looks to be the striker of the future. Fleming is an excellent choice for the captain as well. I still want to see Sinclair surpass the 200 goal mark, but I think it will likely be in a supporting role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the roles are going to start to reverse in future games with the team carrying the load so Sinclair can get her big time game busting goals. It reminds me a bit of Atiba Hutchison’s situation with the men’s team. For so long being the only Canadian of note to play soccer and carrying the country on his back. It’s a new generation taking over on both sides and they’re stronger, faster, tougher and smarter then all of the previous generations to play. Exciting times in Canada Soccer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Once again Soccer Canada is screwing over the national Team...this time the Women's team who are supposed to be training for the upcoming SheBelieves Cup, seen as a tune up for this summer's Women's World Cup: https://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/article/canadian-womens-national-team-players-demand-change-at-canada-soccer/ Quote The ongoing labour dispute between Canada Soccer and its men's and women's teams boiled over Friday with threats of job action from the women and a call for Sport Minister Pascale St-Onge to step in from the men. "Enough is enough," women's captain Christine Sinclair said in a social media post. Sinclair said the women, currently in Orlando, Fla., preparing for the SheBelieves Cup, will not train or play. "As a team, we've decided to take job action and from this moment on we'll not be participating in any Canadian Soccer Association activities until this is resolved,'' she told TSN. "Whether that's training, whether that's games.'' "Until this is resolved, I can't represent this federation,'' added Sinclair, the world's all-time leading goal-scorer who has won 319 caps for Canada. The two teams laid out a list of grievances in separate open letters posted on social media — and reposted by players from both squads. The women's squad said it is "outraged and deeply concerned with the news of significant cuts" to national team programs as it prepares for this summer's World Cup. "With the biggest tournament in women's football history less than six months away, our preparation for the World Cup and the future success of the women's national team's program are being compromised by Canada Soccer's continued inability to support its national teams," the women said. "Despite our strong track record of success and history-making achievements for more than a decade, we continue to be told there is not enough money to adequately fund our program and our youth teams." In an interview on Sportsnet today, Sinclair said that they had sent a letter outlining their concerns to Soccer Canada, but hadn't even gotten a response.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
