Doesn't it seem a bit ironic that the Canadian
Soccer Association is quick to.endorse and
sanction a new professional soccer league yet at
the same time decide that Canada will boycott the
World Youth tournament in the spring because
they don’t like the dates?

Ever the diplomat, West
Van's top soccer player
Tony Waiters, said he
“‘Welcames the idea of a new
Canadian league...if it’s set
up on a professional basis.”
That's a pretty big ‘if’.

At at time when the North
American Soccer league is
struggling with ailing

new pro sport ventures, it is
difficult to understand why
the CSA were so quick to
jump on the bandwagon yet
again. “.

. A couple of years ago the
same CSA sanctioned a new
professional league. That
league had a tournament
involving a few European

. by A nd VE raser

franchies and the economy
in general is not geared to

teams then died.
This new league which

will supposedly operate out
of 20 centres across Canada
is being represented by none
other than J.I. Albrecht, the
wheeler dealer who once
held the title of GM with the
old Toronto Metros-Croatia
and Montreal Alouettes.
For some reason
Albrecht’s name does not
create visions of success.
The idea of more
professional soccer and
more opportunities for
Canadians is appealing says
Waiters, but one wonders
who the backers of these 20
teams are and why some of
them didn’t bother picking
up some of the NASL

franchises which were
floating around looking for a
well-heeled home just a few
months ago. ,

It sounds more like a pipe
dream by a few who have
grandoise dreams of
‘showing’ the NASL.

The CSA would appear to
have discovered the secret of
the self-destruct button

without quite knowing what.

“Their abysmal lack of

the advancement of the

game, as witnessed by their |

following the World Cup
disaster, coupled with their

wonder just how much

And now they support this

WHAT'S IN A PAIN? - Buzz
Parsons, the affable and able
asistant playing coach of the
indoor Whitecaps has a
unique way of dealing with
specific pain.

A chronic arch problem

year just won't go away,
especially on the artificial
surfaces. So to deal with the
pain Buzz applies enough
heat before a game so that
the whole foot is extremely
uncomfortable. Then he says
he can ignore the sore arch
because all-he can feel is the
general discomfort and that,
he explains, is easier to deal
with.

the medical
profession may dispute the
logic, none can dispute
Parson's desire toplay.
