Wor_p Cup SOCCER

Eric

Oh dear. That’s all | could mumble
after Team Canada’s 0-0 tie with
Jamaica on Sunday April 27 at
Swanguard Stadium. This draw meant
a couple of things to Team Canada.
Our chances of being in France for the
World Cup are virtually nil, and also,
perhaps Coach Lenarduzzi’s reign is
coming to an end.

Canada’s offensive performance
showed no signs of weakness despite
losing striker Paul Peschisoldio for his
prior red card against El Salvador.
Canada clearly dominated the match,
with most of the game played in
Jamaica’s end. For some reason,
Canada seemed reluctant to shoot
throughout the game, as if hesitant
about making a mistake. This hap-

pened time after time, so the crowd
ended up screaming in frustration
every few minutes.

At the other end of play in Canada’s
zone, goalkeeper Paul Dolan had little
trouble earning his shut out. He had no
difficulty defending the few scoring
chances that Jamaica posed.

Things looked hopeful for Canada
towards the end of the second half
because of the red carding of Jamai-
can defender Gregory Messam with
6:45 remaining in the game. However,
despite Jamaica playing one man
down, Team Canada could not land a
single goal while the anxious crowd
watched the clock count down to zero.

Post-game dressing room interviews
found Coach Bob Lenarduzzi soft-
spoken and calm. Questions of his
coaching future and relationship

 

 

problems with Domenic Mobilio have
continually been fired at Lenarduzzi. A
man of integrity and a belief that
problems shouldn’t be aired through
the media, he wouldn’t comment on
the situation with Mobilio.

And despite continued support for
Lenarduzzi to remain involved with
CSA, he gave no assurance that he
would return to coaching if Team
Canada failed to make it to the World
Cup next year.
