Canada In Long Shot World Soccer Cup Bid

Can there be a more thankless task than organising a beach soccer team in Canada, in winter?

As with any team funds are generally tight, most clubs never seem to have “dinero facil” Team Canada coach Ross Ongaro had to work miracles in advance of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup CONCACAF qualifying tournament which takes place in Vallarta, Mexico, running from Wednesday through to Sunday.

Ongaro’s team have had only one day to play together in advance the tournament and that was on Tuesday. Ongaro said “It will be a challenge.”

The rest of the teams in Group A are Mexico and Jamaica. Group B has the US, Costa Rica, Bahamas and Guatemala.

After eliminations the two finalists will represent North and Central America and the Caribbean at the 2011 FIFA Beach World Cup in Italy in September next year.

In the past Ongaro has relied upon talent from where he lives in the Edmonton area, which made sense as he knew the players and could train them at the outdoor beach volleyball court in the cold when the weather permitted but he received a lot of criticism for relying solely on Alberta players. This year he has gotten hold of players from outside his vicinity like Vancouver forward Sipho Sibya and the Edmonton goalkeeper Greg Bonar as well as many younger players, under 20 and university talent from across the country who, it is hoped, will remain a part of the program for years to come.

Ongaro has even looked to Portugal for the defender Bruno Xavier. “We have players from everywhere. But there’s zero training as far as team training.” Ongaro has had to rely on individual training programs. But he believes he has found some young skilful players who may be lacking in beach experience but won’t be short on fitness.

Canada doesn’t have the most habitual beach soccer players which has resulted in such ignominious results as the 12-1 pounding they got from Brazil in 2006 and a 10-0 defeat to Mexico in 2009. Because of money, there are no “prestamos personales en efectivo” for football teams heading south of the boarder they were unable to play in 2007 and 2008. So even if Canada can get the “prestamos inmediatos” by the time they get to the rest of the Americas where they have pro and semi-pro teams they have a history of hammerings anyway. The Canadians might not be used to the sun but “[It's a] little bit of a different situation for us,” Ongaro said. “But our guys have accepted the challenge and we’re going to go and do the best we can.”

Excerpt: Senior club appearances and goalscounted for the domestic league only.* Appearances (Goals) Gordon Bradley (November 23, 1933 April 29, 2008) was an English-American football (soccer) midfielder born and raised on Wearside who played several seasons with lower division English clubs before moving to play in Canada at the age of 30. During the Canadian off-season, he played and coached in the U.S. based German American Soccer League. In 1971, he became a player and head coach for the New York Cosmos. In addition to coaching the Cosmos, he has coached the U.S. national team and at the collegiate and high school levels. Bradley also earned one cap with the U.S. national team in 1973. He is a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame. He spent his last years out of the public eye, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and spending his last month in a full-care facility in Manassas, Va. Bradley grew up in Sunderland, England where he turned professional with the local Sunderland club at age sixteen. However, his career nearly ended just as it was beginning. During a training session, he shattered his right kneecap kicking a ball and it took over two years before he was fit to play again. In 1950, English conscription laws forced Bradley to choose between working in the government coal mines or entering the military when he turned nineteen. Bradley chose to work in the coal mines at Easington Colliery. In addition to working in the mine, Bradley continued to play football. While he began his career as a forward with Sunderland, the injury slowed Bradley and he moved into defense. Bradley signed with Bradford Park Avenue in 1955 then in 1957, he moved to Carlisle United where he eventually played 130 games, scoring 3 goals. In 1963, Bradley receive… More:

Excerpt: The Baltimore Stallions were a Canadian football team based in Baltimore, Maryland, which played the 1994 and 1995 seasons. They were the most successful American team in the Canadian Football League having two winning seasons, a division title and became the only American team to win the Grey Cup in 1995. Owner Jim Speros’ approach was simple: he knew that Canadian football was different from the American game, and therefore made a point of hiring personnel and players with CFL experience. Speros made Jim Popp general manager of the new team, and named the legendary Don Matthews as head coach. Popp and Matthews, in turn, brought in experienced players like QB Tracy Ham, RB Mike Pringle, LB O. J. Brigance, DT Jerald Bayliss, DE Elfrid Payton and former National Football League veteran K Donald Igwebuike. However, the franchise quickly ran into trouble, becoming known as the “team without a name.” Speros had started calling his new franchise the Baltimore CFL Colts and the NFL sued because of possible public confusion with their Indianapolis Colts, who had played in Baltimore from 1953 until 1984. The NFL won an injunction because the CFL version of the Baltimore Colts didn’t want to go bankrupt fighting it, and the franchise became known as the Baltimore Football Club (Baltimore F.C.), sometimes called the Baltimore CFLers. The team’s fan base resisted the change; for most of the ’94 season, the public address announcer at Memorial Stadium, Jack Taylor, would announce the tea… More:
