This is actually a pretty skillful team (one of the best in recent Canadian history). They were unable to show off their talent on these fields.
Way to go CSA!

Both teams had to play on that crap. Frankly, it should have been an advantage to the Canadian team. Most of their players are MLS or A-League, and would play on football fields or dilapidated fields. They also practice as a team in this country with our inadequate fields. Even Honduras is probably used to a better class of field.
Regardless, the CSA is totally pathetic. The admin, the coaching, the stadia, everything. Until there's a purging and a real dedication to winning (real coaches... perhaps even a high-priced foreign coach), and new stadia nationwide (take advantage of our geography like other countries do... Calgary should be where the Canadian NT plays because of the high elevation and relatively inhospitable climate... that's what Mexico does) we should not expect anything less than getting knocked out by lesser nations in embarassing fashion.
