Canadian National Soccer Teams

After five consecutive draws, the Canada-Brazil deadlock was broken today in Canada's favour in a Women's International Friendly match in Foxboro, MA, USA. The Canadian team won 2:1 over Brazil in the 24 March 2012 match, with superstars Christine Sinclair (two for Canada) and Marta (one via penalty for Brazil) providing the offence. Canada and Brazil had drawn even in each of the previous five women's international matches dating back to 10 July 2008.

Canada's Women's National Team has already qualified for the 2012 Olympics.
Good going Girls!

The Men's National Team has not yet qualified for the Olympics, but is working hard at it.
Canada won 2:0 over host USA in the second match of the 2012 CONCACAF Men' Olympic Qualifying tournament on Saturday 24 March, an emphatic win that puts Canada within a point of securing a semi-final berth in the competition. With two matches in the books, Canada is two positive results away from achieveing its mission of qualifying for the London 2012 Olympics.
Go Canada!
