IF ANYONE had any silly
idea that Canada would
continue to remain superior
to the United States in the
world of soccer, they can
now put those feelings to
rest.

The United States national
team who Canada knocked
out of World Cup com-

competiting in Trinidad later
in March. They are keeping
the team concept alive and
well and working at
becoming a better team.

Here in Canada it is highly
unlikely that 11 players of
national! level could be found
who would play with the
present CSA administrative
and coaching set up after the
