REPORT: FORMER MADRID MANAGER FLORO TO COACH CANADA
TORONTO -- Veteran Spanish manager Benito Floro is expected to be introduced Friday as coach of the Canadian men's soccer team.
Floro's appointment was reported by Marca, a Spanish national daily sports newspaper.
The Canadian Soccer Association confirmed it will introduce its new coach Friday morning in Toronto but declined comment on the report or Floro.
Canada has been without a full-time coach since Stephen Hart stepped down in October following the national team's humiliating exit from World Cup qualifying.
Floro, 61, has a lengthy resume that includes being in charge of Spanish giant Real Madrid from 1992 to 1994. Nineteen managers have patrolled the sidelines at the Santiago Bernabeu since.
Most recently he coached WAC (Wydad Athletic Club) Morocco.
Other teams on his resume include Spain's Villareal, Sporting Gijon, and Mallorca among others. He has also managed Monterrey in Mexico and Vissel Kobe in Japan.
Floro earned headlines for leading Albacete Balompie from the third division to Spain's elite league in three seasons during the early 1990s. That precipitated his hiring at Real Madrid where he led the team to second place in La Liga and the Copa Del Rey before being fired the following season.
Flor fits in between Leo Beenhakker and Vicente Del Bosque in the Real Madrid managerial annals.
He returned to Albacete and then Madrid in 2005 when he replaced Arrigo Sacchi as the club's sporting director.
Floro has also worked as a TV commentator.
The next coach will be Canada's eighth full-time manager since Tony Waiters took the national team to the 1986 World Cup, Canada's only trip to the men's world championship.
He will take over a team ranked 88th by FIFA, sandwiched between Trinidad and Tobago (which recently appointed Hart as its new manager) and the Central African Republic.
With the 2014 World Cup out of the question, Canada must look ahead to the 2018 World Cup in Russia and beyond.
The Canadian men are currently at the Gold Cup, the regional championship for the CONCACAF region, under interim coach Colin Miller.
Reporters taking part in a Miller conference call Thursday were asked to restrict their questions to the Gold Cup. Miller has taken a young squad to the Gold Cup, with the CSA electing not to call up older players such as 35-year-old Dwayne De Rosario and 33-year-old Patrice Bernier.
The Canadian Soccer Association had set a Hispanic coach as a target, according to one source. After the 8-1 loss in Honduras that sealed Canada's World Cup qualifying fate, association president Victor Montagliani said something had to be done to better prepare Canada for playing in the hostile confines of Central America.

Soccer league keeps ban on turbans
The Quebec Soccer Federation announced Sunday it has decided to keep a ban against players wearing turbans on the field. The federation began cracking down on turbans — the religious headgear worn by Sikhs — in the past few years. Referees who don’t apply the rule could face penalties of their own. In April the Canadian Soccer Association asked provincial associations to allow turbans on the field. The Quebec federation said that its decision is in line with the position of the international soccer organization FIFA, which has yet to take a clear stand on the issue. The federation said it would lift the ban immediately if FIFA does. Members of the Sikh community, however, say FIFA’s position is beside the point. Balpreet Singh, a spokesman for the World Sikh Organization of Canada, said FIFA is responsible for major international tournaments, while the Quebec Soccer Federation oversees recreational leagues.
Quebec's aint easy they not going to budge on dat, even if fifa says allow they may even fight it

PARENTS BRAWL AT SOCCER GAME - (Barrie is a small town 60 minutes north of Toronto).
I think we have a forumite or two living in Kitchener Ontario, 60 minutes west of Toronto
Up to 30 parents got into a fight during a youth soccer game in Barrie Saturday afternoon. Barrie Police were called to a local park when an argument escalated between parents of a Barrie soccer team and a Kitchener team. A parent from one team allegedly uttered racial slurs towards a parent on the other team. Barrie Police Sgt. rob Gravel said parents were mostly yelling at one another and that they were “visibly upset” when police arrived on scene. he said there was one allegation of a possible assault but the parent didn’t want to pursue criminal
Not surprised with the racial slur 2 hick downs

Football / Re: Man Utd, Barca to play in TT as...
« on: October 11, 2012, 11:52:35 PM »Plan?In addition to branding the former Sports Minister said they have been in discussion to bring some top international teams such as Manchester United and Barcelona to play two matches a year, one in Trinidad and one in Tobago.
He said once they get the necessary finances this would become a reality, which will no doubt draw hundreds of thousands of people to the twin island.
Barca and Man U play 60+ competitive games a season in Europe and a half dozen friendlies each in their primary overseas fan markets. So where are these hundreds of thousands of people gonna travel from to see a fete match?
(Ignoring the fact that we have no stadium holding more than 25k)
Meanwhile, Barbados links up with Chelsea and is emblazoned all over Stamford Bridge at every home game, they even have women in carnival costumes there every now and again. Pretty sure their plan is working better than ours ever will.

« on: June 14, 2011, 11:27:25 PM »A Toronto man is seeking to join the Toronto Police Force.
The Sergeant doing the interview says: "Your qualifications all look good, but there is an attitude suitability test that you must take before you can be accepted."
Then, sliding a pistol across the desk, he says:
"Take this pistol and go out and shoot six illegal Jamaican immigrants, six drug dealers, six Muslim extremists, and a rabbit. "
"Why the rabbit?"
"Great attitude," says the Sergeant. "When can you start?"

Trinidad and Tobago’ meanwhile, have slipped a whopping 21 places in the latest official FIFA world ranking. The ‘Soca Warriors’ is now 97th in the world after being 76th during the last ranking in August.
We are competing with Faroe Islands, Iceland, India & Equitorial Guinea for being the biggest fallers in the World Fifa rankings and some folks feel we should be celebarting beating St Lucia 3-0?!
