I have always said that Dale Mitchell should be given the full qualification cycle. I think that, if we want to attract top people, we have to at least give them some assurances that they will have some time to prove or fail themselves. Dale Mitchell belongs in the fail category. Qualification has been an abject failure. [...]

Looks like there is fire underneath the Jim Brennan smoke I posted about a few days ago. The Toronto FC defender has publicly spoken out against both Dale Mitchell and the CSA. He hasn’t retired from the MNT, but emphatically states that he won’t be suiting up as long as Dale Mitchell is at the [...]

The dream for South Africa 2010 is officially over, with Canada dropping a 3-0 decision to Jamaica last night. The CSA blow by blow details are here.

... 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...

Great. Just when I spew on Dale Mitchell, up Canada pops with a 2-2 draw with Mexico and, from all accounts I have read so far, a pretty decent outing (between my night job and my day job, I have yet to watch the tilt.) A decent outing without Atiba Hutchinson, Dwayne DeRosario, Julian De [...]

Not a very good Thanksgiving for Canadian soccer fans. Canada lost to Honduras, 1-3 and their World Camp campaign came to a screeching halt. Much of the damage had been done already with some squad members speaking out against Dale...

Earlier today, Dale Mitchell responded to Jim Brennan and, well, it looks like we’ve got us a good ol’ fashioned tit for tat going on in Canadian soccer.
