It's been quite the summer so far. Busy and exciting and sometimes painful. On the good side, we have had the densest concentration of Canadian team soccer games likely in Canada's history. On the bad side, being so busy trying to travel to these has made it very difficult to do any podcasting. But finally we have put together our 51st episode. It is a long rambling and crazy thing. Here is a list of the different topics we've attempted to discuss:



1) We discuss the Women's World Cup and its aftermath (although we really intend to do a more in depth treatment of this in the future).



2) We recorded a segment in the middle of the Canada vs Jamaica Gold Cup game at the Touchdown Pub in Hamilton. Joining us were Sam Gregory, James Hutton, Richard Wyatt, and Caroline Duthie. We also recorded while dejectedly walking toward the stadium in Hamilton hoping that the Canadian Women's PanAm team would be cathartic.



3) In the aftermath of the women's PanAm game versus Ecuador we had the great fortune of meeting Melsaide Tate (mother of Kadeisha Buchanan), Tina Lawrence (mother of Ashley Lawrence), and Mary Zadorsky (mother of Shelina Zadorsky) and they generously agreed to give their perspective on the game and their daughters' performances.



4) Grant Surridge poses serious questions about Daniel Squizzato followed by Mike Shwanke and Nicky Cottee discussing our Gold Cup prospects vs Costa Rica.



5) Finally Jeff and I summed up our thoughts on Canada's performance in the Gold Cup while waiting to fly back to Saskatchewan. It was a pretty busy few weeks. Hope you enjoy this rambling reliving of some of these experiences.
