Massive Attack Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Women's Under-20 Team Monday, July 11, 2005 Bridge Assembles 22-Players For Camp and Friendlies Ottawa, Ontario – Canadian Women’s Under-20 Team Head Coach Ian Bridge has assembled 22-players for a camp and friendlies in Mexico City and Toluca, Mexico. The camp begins today and will end on Sunday, July 17, 2005. The camp roster consists of a mix of Under-19 and Under-17 players. The Under-20 team will play a friendly against Mexico on Wednesday, July 13, while the U-17’s will compete against Mexico and USA on Friday, July 15th and Saturday, July 16th respectfully. “These are important games, especially for the U-19 group,” said Bridge. “These players will be the core of my U-20 team next year that will play qualification matches in the spring for the FIFA 2006 U-20 World Championships and hopefully compete in the final competition in Russia later in the year.” “We have an exciting, talented group of players with several of the younger (U-17) group capable of playing up with the U-19’s. These four international matches will give all the players and staff more experience competing at a high level against our North American CONCACAF rivals; Mexico and USA.” An added challenge for the group will be playing the games at high altitude: Mexico City is at 2300m and Toluca is at 2650m. In January, following the FIFA Under-19 Women’s World Championship Thailand 2004, FIFA raised the age limit of players from 19 to 20. As a result, the competition will be renamed the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Championship. Additionally, the number of teams in the final round of competition will increase from 12 to 16.

The Ref Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 What used to be a sure thing, winning against Mexico, it is no longer. Some blame the altitude and the heat, but heck one can always find excuses. The CSA quotes Ian Bridge as saying: “Although we created more goal chances than Mexico, we lacked punch in the box. This is an area we must work on; you must score goals to win games." It sounds familiar doesn't it? if we consider the men's team problems in the Gold Cup.

Chet Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I recognise most of the names on the Canadian roster. But one I'm not familiar with is Loredana Riverso. I know she plays for the Lady Lynx and her birthdate is 2/2/1988. Anybody seen her play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
