RJB Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 quote:Originally posted by El Hombre Here you go RJB: Player of the Week: Christine Sinclair And they're only a day late with respect to their last POTW announcement. Any other axes to grind? Thanks El Hombre... I'm in Korea and sometimes make reactionary posts without realizing I'm a day ahead. Probably a bad thing to do. And I'm full of axes to grind. This one was one, Yallop is another... TFC... The Stadium in Toronto... Linford blowing hot air... a Canadian league... These are all things that keep me up at night, so I have to squawk about it here[] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyola Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Here it is: Dwayne DeRosario Players In The News Wednesday, March 21, 2007 Player of the Week: Dwayne De Rosario This past week, Dwayne De Rosario helped his club Houston Dynamo win 2:0 over Panchuca in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Dwayne came in as a substitute and initiated the play that led to Houston’s second goal, a penalty-area strike by Chris Wondolowski. The return leg against the Méxican club takes place 5 April in Panchuca. Dwayne was born 15 May 1978 in Scarborough, ON. The midfielder is now in his eighth season with the Dynamo franchise, albeit only the second since the club moved from San Jose to Houston. He began his professional career in 1997 at the age of 19 after signing with the Toronto Lynx of the A-League, joining another Toronto-area native and Canadian youth international Paul Stalteri. Midway through Dwayne’s first season with the Lynx, though, he moved overseas to Deutschland and signed with the FSV Zwickau. Two years later in 1999, Dwayne returned back to North America and signed with the Richmond Kickers of the A-League. The following year, he moved up to Major League Soccer and had a successful rookie season with the San Jose Earthquakes. In 2001, he won MLS Cup Most Valuable Player honours after scoring the winning goal in the 96th minute against cross-state rivals Los Angeles Galaxy. In 2003, after recovering from an ACL injury, he won a second MLS Cup with the Earthquakes, this time against the Chicago Fire. Three years later in 2006 with Houston, he won his third MLS Cup championship: a 2:1 victory over the New England Revolution on penalty kicks after a dramatic overtime in which both teams scored just 66 seconds apart. Dwayne is also an important member of the Canadian national team, having won Canadian Player of the Year honours in 2005 and 2006. He made his senior-team debut just three days after his 20th birthday on 18 May 1998 against Macedonia. Through 2006, he has won 36 full caps and has even served as team captain. He has scored seven goals, two of which came in a 4:0 World Cup qualifying win over Belize in June 2006. He is currently training in Hamilton, Bermuda with the Canadian team in preparation for the country’s 25 March friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 Sorry guys I missed last week POTW....looking forward to hear about BF complaining about Neil doing nothing to be given this award which looks like a weekly feature about a Senior NT member. The Soccer Spotlight - Women Player of the Week: Andrea Neil 28 MARCH 2007 - This week, Andrea Neil and her Canadian women’s national teammates opened the next stage of their 2007 residency camp in Vancouver, BC. This two-week training stage runs from 26 March to 5 April 2007, closing up just before the Easter break. Andrea was born on 26 October 1971 in Vancouver, BC. She was just 22 years old when she made her national-team debut on 19 April 1991 in Haïti against Jamaica. Through to her most recent match on 26 November 2006 (Gold Cup final), she has 121 international caps, the most of any player that has taken part in the 2007 residency camps. Included in those 121 caps are FIFA Women’s World Cup matches in 1995, 1999 and 2003. This September will mark Andrea’s fourth trip to a FIFA Women’s World Cup. By reaching the CONCACAF Gold Cup final in November (Canada lost 1:2 to the United States), they qualified for China 2007. Andrea will not only represent her country in the FIFA Women’s World Cup, she will also represent her country in a special all-star match. Neil will be part of a special FIFA Women’s World Stars team that will face hosts China. The match takes place in Wuhan on 21 April, the day before the official draw for the FIFA Women’s World Cup China 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 And this week POTW is Kevin Harmse: The Soccer Spotlight - Men Player of the Week: Kevin Harmse Kevin Harmse Kevin Harmse earned his first senior cap on 25 March in Hamilton, Bermuda. The 22-year old midfielder came on in the 75th minute of a 3:0 victory against Bermuda, replacing birthday-boy Julian de Guzman (26). Atiba Hutchinson, Tomasz Radzinski and Paul Stalteri were the goal scorers in Canada’s first international friendly of the 2007 season. Kevin, who was born on 4 July 1984 in Johannesburg, South Africa, grew up in Vancouver, BC. While he is a rookie at the senior level, he is a veteran of five U-23 (Olympic) team matches and 15 U-20 youth team matches. At the U-23 level, Kevin scored two goals in a 10:0 victory over Virgin Islands on 7 September 2003. Unfortunately, the team was eliminated in Olympic qualifications in February after losses to Honduras, United States and Panamá. At the U-20 level, Kevin represented Canada at the FIFA World Youth Championships UAE 2003. After losses to Brasil (0:2) and Australia (1:2), Canada won their third round-robin match in Dubai against Ceska Republika (1:0). In Abu Dhabi, Canada eliminated Burkina Faso with a 1:0 victory in the Round of 16 before losing 1:2 (extra time) to eventual-champion España in the quarter final. Kevin currently plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy, having been on trial with the team this past month. He not only hopes to make the Galaxy’s final roster, but he also hopes to be a part of the national senior team this June when Canada takes part in the CONCACAF Gold Cup in the United States. Canada will face Costa Rica (6 June), Guadeloupe (9 June) and Haiti (11 June) in the opening round at the Orange Bowl in Miami, FL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what was Canada’s first international friendly of the 2007 season, Hutchinson, Tomasz Radzinski and Paul Stalteri all scored in the first half as they made their way to a victory at the National Stadium in Hamilton, Bermuda. It was Atiba who opened the scoring in the 21st minute. Atiba received a quick throw in from Radzinski and then beat the Bermuda defender on his way to goal. He placed a hard shot in the corner to beat goaltender Timmy Figuerido. He almost added another goal in the 63rd minute, but he just overshot the net, hitting the crossbar hard from a long rage shot.
