Blue and White Army Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Fell upon an article on the Football Asia website that claims a Canadian side was involved in an international tourney featuring sides from the UK, Brazil and India. Anyone know which Canadian side was involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 It's the Ian Rush Trophy, as the article says, which is an annual youth tournament in Wales. It's open to a large variety of age groups, both boys and girls, so the Canadian team could have been any of these. No Canadian team took part in the age group won by the Indian U18 national team (see http://www.indianfootball.com/specials/india/m_u18.html --- scroll down to the bottom).

Crazy_Yank Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 If I'm not mistaken the majority of the teams that attend that tournament are club teams. It would be pretty bad if a national team couldn't beat a club team. "Try not, do. Do or do not. There is no try" - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the teams that the Indian team played against were Tranmere Rovers, Botofogo, Hersord (Wales) and some team from New York. They drew Tranmere and the New York team 0-0, hammered Hersord 6-0, and lost 3-2 to Botofogo in their group match but defeated them 3-0 in the tournament final.
