Canada ready for Cuba, TFC dumps Winter, Euros begin

The soccer world is buzzing right now.

Canada makes a start to the next round of qualifying for Brazil 2014 by traveling to Cuba to play in the stifling afternoon heat of Havana Friday on a pitch that will undoubtedly be terrible.

I’m heavily backing a good win despite the problems. This is as good a side as we have ever had in this country. Cuba should not be bothersome. Then it will be back to Toronto to take on Honduras, a much more difficult prospect but also possible.

Toronto FC has finally put an end to Aron Winter’s misery by firing him. Nine MLS  defeats in a row was obviously too much even for TFC. Now Paul Mariner is stepping forward to take on the job.

This is a true soccer man with a great deal of playing and coaching experience behind him. Everyone, myself included, will be keeping fingers crossed he can make a difference.

And Euro 2012 opens friday in Poland and Ukraine. Stand by for exciting stuff for three weeks.
