Spiffy pitch. Doesn’t that kid look like he was plucked right out of a Canada U-20 squad?

Speaking of which, in Olympic qualifiers, Canada’s on to the semis. After aborting Guatemala 5-0 (5-0?) on Sunday, they snuck in by a goal-differential nut hair over CONCACAF powerhouse Mexico. HEEUGE propers to Haiti’s keeper, who also let in a lot of goals, but had to play with what looked like a 0-0-10 formation for parts of their match against Mexico later that afternoon.

This Thursday, Canadian defenders are going to have to deal with this little fucker for the rights to Beijing. Whether we win or lose, I hope we at least tell them what’s up.
