A long suffering fan of Canadian soccer since 1971 when I started
attending games of the Montreal Olympique of the pre-Pelé NASL.

This report includes Canada’s games played in 2008.
Canada started Olympic Qualifying with a big win over Trinidad & Tobago. Melissa Tancredi, who didn’t play in the Cyprus Cup for Canada scored Canada’s first goal. The 6-0 victory leaves Canada needing a victory over Costa Rica to make the semi-finals. The two semi-final winners will advance to the Olympic Games in China this summer.
If everything goes as expected Canada will meet Mexico in the semis. Canada will be looking for revenge in that game as Mexico eliminated Canada four years ago during the qualifying round. Canada plays Costa Rica on Saturday a 1:00 pm eastern time.
