This June, the Canadian Men's National Team continues their World Cup Qualifying run. Canada was drawn into a group with Cuba, Honduras, and Panama for the third round games, with the winners and second place teams moving onto the fourth round, commonly known as the "Hex".
Canada opens their schedule on Friday, June 8th in Havana and follows it up with a game at home in Toronto against Honduras. All of this follows the Centenary game against the United States on June 3rd.
The Voyageurs, Canada's supporters group, has organized a bus trip in conjunction with The Supporters Section for the first Canada home qualifier on June 12th.
A blog about supporting local football (aka soccer) focusing on south eastern Ontario and the Kingston area, but wandering so far as to talk about Toronto and the Canadian national teams.

World Cup Qualifying: Canada 7, St. Lucia 0
Tonight, Canada played in St. Lucia at the Beausejour Cricket Field. The game was not televised, but Canada took control of the game early, and the (approximately) 25 Canadians there outnumbered the 200 St. Lucian supporters.
The game was streamed over the internet with commentary by Max Bell and RedNation Online's Gavin Day. Due to a complete and utter lack of television highlights, I decided to interpret the commentary and present a brief highlight package using... puppets.
Yes. Puppets. So, read on for "Fables from Canada's trip to Fraggle Lucia."

World Cup Qualifying: Canada visits St. Lucia (Updated)
Tomorrow evening at 6pm ET, the Canadian men's national team (CMNT) will be playing their third game of the second round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The game is being played down in St. Lucia, and Canada beat them in Toronto on the 2nd of September by a 4-1 scoreline. Canada won both of their qualifiers to date by scores of 4-1 and 3-0 (at Puerto Rico) and can eliminate St. Lucia with a win.
Unfortunately, the game is not being televised due to a lack of broadcast facilities at the source, but Canada Soccer will be tweeting a commentary of the game for people to follow along with. Rogers Sportsnet has sent down a small camera crew to do interviews and collect highlights to be shown later.
