Blue and White Army Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Canada drew 2-2 against Kyrgyzstan, but lost in penalties. They finished fourth in the consolation "The Host Cup, Big Issue" trophy. Canada were on a bit of a tear for a while. Did well against the Ivory Coast, proceeded to win five matches on the trot, and then lost to Italy in the "The Host Cup, Big Issue" trophy semi-final by only a single goal. Oh, and Ukraine won the whole shabang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
