Well if it's just senior team appearances I think this is most of them - I think I may be missing one or two in the 1988 - 1993 5 year gap.

Last name: Di Rocco

Canada vs. Costa Rica , World Cup Qualifying (1985) (this until 2000 all at Varsity)

Canada vs. Poland, 1988 Friendly

Canada vs. Mexico, 1993 World Cup qualifying

Canada vs. Germany, 1994 Friendly

Canada vs. Holland, 1994 Friendly

Canada vs. Portugal, 1996 Friendly (this was a combo senior/olympic/U20 Canadian team, but I'll count it)

Canada vs. Macedonia, 1998 Friendly

Canada vs. Guatemala, 1999 Friendly

Canada vs. Jamaica, 1999 Friendly

Canada vs. T&T, 2000 Friendly

Canada vs. Mexico, 2000 World Cup qualifier

Canada vs. Haiti, 2002 Gold Cup (in Miami)

Canada vs. Ecuador, 2002 Gold Cup (in Miami)

Canada vs. Scotland, 2002 Friendly (in Edinburgh)

Canada vs. US, 2003 Friendly in Ft. Lauderdale (again, a combo Senior/Olympic/U20 team, but FIFA counted as a senior team match, unfortunately, so I will too).

Canada vs. Costa Rica, 2003 Gold Cup (Boston)

Canada vs. Cuba, 2003 Gold Cup (Boston)

Canada vs. Belize, 2004 World Cup (Kingston)

Canada vs. Belize, 2004 World Cup (Kingston)

In terms of youth matches I saw Canada's matches at the U17 World Cup at Varsity back in 1987. Only one woman's match to date, 2001 friendly at Varsity, the last to be held there at the original* venue.

*I'm going to start saying that until being proven wrong in October. :)

The 92 Scotland game was also the day my father died. And I still remember the 93 Mexico qualifying game as it was yesterday - I replay that game over and over in my mind - a sad missed opportunity. Went out a hot chick met during the 94 Holland game.

The best games for atmosphere where 88 Poland (the Polska chants still ring in my ear), 93 Mexico (busloads of Mexico fans from Chicago), 95 Turkey, 97 Iran and 99 Jamaica (dazed for hours from all the drugs wafting in the air).

Kingston, Belize, 2004

The Hamilton game was an Olympic qualifier I think (going back too far) with the U20s playing an exhibition game against someone as part of a doubleheader. I think this was the team that went to Chile and did well and featured Craig Forrest, but I do not recall Forrest playing in that match. The only player I remember was Peter Sarantopolous, but I could probably remember more if I had time to think .. Billy Dometzedis.... ahh never mind. Also saw Pesch play as a 16 year old in Toronto in the U16 WC vs Italy and the women play the USA in Toronto in 2001.

I thought that I had seen one or two more in Vancouver in 1972, but they must have been Whitecaps games as CSA has no record of any played in that time.

That doesn't mean those games weren't played though - the CSA doesn't have records of some of the games I went to (I think that's why I don't immediately remember one of them) and some I've seen on tv (or were aware of at the time).

Yeah, I'd thought of that, but being just a young lad at the time, I can't even tell you who the opposition was. If it were the Whitecaps, it would not have been against other NASL teams, but possibly exhibition games against foreign teams, hence the possibility of "international" confusion on my part. But then, I am thinking that I didn't even attend a Whitecaps game until 1975 as I have no recollection of seeing them play until returning to Vancouver from Kingston in the fall of 1974.

October 2000 vs. Panama (Winnipeg).....Won 1-0

November 2000 vs. Mexico (Toronto).....Drew 0-0

June 2004 vs. Belize (Kingston).....Won 4-0

So does that record (P4, W3, D1, L0, GF6, GA0) make me some sort of "lucky mascot"??

It's nice to see the number of Canadian fans travelling to various parts of this great land, visiting different cities and provinces and meeting Canadian supporters from across Canada.

It's a great experience, and certainly accentuates the joy of watching Team Canada play. I would strongly encourage everyone to reach out beyond their provincial borders and visit a different part of Canada to watch the national team. Spend a few days at the location and get to know another part of Canada. It's sure to be a memorable experience.

Desperately trying to get out to Van city for the 18th.

If we qualify (I strongly believe we will) for the Hex, I think it would incredible to watch Canada battle it out in the Azteca. Any travel partners?

Funny- I could have said that I missed going to a lot of games because I was living abroad from 1998-2003, in Ecuador and then later in Japan (I swear I must have been the only guy in Ecuador or Japan rooting for Canada when we played them), but that wouldn't have mattered because the bloody CSA didn't give BC any games anyways during that spell. Sad statement, really.

I was just looking through the list again and Holy crap that's a lot of miles log by some of us. (Uh sorry... kilometers) Even for home games some of the distances would be unfathomable to a European.

When I was in Brugges for a UEFA cup game I chatted with a local bartender who was in fact German and I told him my Winnipeg trip saga. His face went blank as he tried to figure out where you would end up if you drove 14 hours from Belgium. "I think you can get to Moscow in 12."

We're all nuts, eh?

This was all part of my never having missed a Senior National Team, 86ers, or Whitecaps game played in the Vancouver area from 1981 until (sadly) this year.
