Defensive frailties reared their ugly head once again for Canadas mens national team, as they conceded a third-minute goal to the Czech Republic on their way to a 2-0 defeat in Olomouc on Friday. The game was the first of two international friendlies that Canada is playing during the international break, with the second game against Slovenia set for Tuesday in Celje. Canada looked uncomfortable defensively throughout the game, and every free kick that came into Canadas penalty box looked like ending up in the back of the net. They were fortunate to go into the break only trailing 1-0. At the other end of the pitch, Canada had chances to equalize in the first half. 30 minutes into the game, after a well-worked free kick, Tosaint Ricketts saw his shot blocked by Petr Cech. Minutes later, Canada was awarded a dubious penalty kick after Dwayne De Rosario fell in the box under pressure from Marek Suchy. De Rosario picked himself up to take the kick, but his effort was pushed around the post by Petr Cech. It was the last time that Canada would genuinely threaten Cechs goal. In the second half, only the Czechs looked like scoring, and it was no surprise that they got a second goal to put the result to bed. Some will try to put a positive spin on the performance by suggesting that a 2-0 loss was a reasonable showing against the 27th ranked team in the world. The reality is that the score remained respectable due more to the wastefulness of the Czechs and to the performance of Lars Hirschfeld in Canadas goal, rather than to anything Canada did to influence the game. Its becoming a tired narrative. Canada concedes sloppy goals and, when combined with creating very little scoring chances, come away with their tails between their legs. Which brings about the usual questions: When is Canada going to have a competitive mens team? When are we going to become legitimate contenders to qualify for the World Cup? Spaniard Benito Floro was hired to coach the team in July, and has only had four games in charge of the team. Four games is nowhere near enough of a sampling to pass judgment on Floros ability to take the program forward - he is still, in many respects, coming to terms with the size of the task before him. But it is enough time to make some observations about what he has done so far. Defensively, Ive never seen Canada look more fragile. Whenever we come up against decent opposition, defensive errors and organizational mistakes are our undoing. That is partly down to the players failing to take responsibility on the pitch, but it is also down to the coach. Against the Czech Republic, the first goal was conceded because Canada were far too deep defending a free kick. In fact, Canada dropped right onto the edge of their own 6-yard box - a cardinal sin when defending - before the ball had been played. This left no room for Hirschfeld to come and claim the ball and, coupled with poor marking from Marcel de Jong, left Ondrej Celustka with an easy header to give the Czechs the lead. If this had been a one-off, you could put it down to individual errors. But it was a theme that was prevalent throughout the first half, and worryingly, it continued into the second half, as well. This tells me that the problem was never properly addressed at the half by the coach. Floro did acknowledge after the game that the team "needs to improve" when defending set pieces, but there was little evidence to suggest that he addressed the issue during the game or at the half. This isnt a problem that has magically appeared though - Floro should have spent more time addressing it in training in the camp leading up to the game. Canadas lack of creativity at the other end of the pitch was not unexpected; it is the norm for scoring chances to be as rare a sighting for Canadian forwards as Halleys Comet. When Ricketts and De Rosario did have a sight of goal, they couldnt find a way past Petr Cech. Its hard to be critical, as Cech is one of the worlds best goalkeepers. But when you get a penalty kick, regardless of the opponent, you need to find the back of the net. De Rosarios penalty kick was poor, and Cech easily parried it around the post. Floro was hired to take Canada forward into World Cup qualifying in 2016, to give them the best chance possible of reaching the final qualifying round, the Hex. While that process wont begin for another three years, in the short-term, Floro needs to show tangible signs of progress. Otherwise, the little hope that Canadian soccer supporters have for a brighter future will fade away to nothing.

LOUIS -- St.ARLINGTON, Texas -- Chris Herrmanns parents were watching him play in the majors for the first time. The Minnesota catcher gave them something to tell the grandkids someday. Herrmann broke up Yu Darvishs latest no-hit bid in a big way with a tying, two-run homer in the seventh inning and Justin Morneau followed with a home run that sent the Twins over the Texas Rangers 3-2 Friday night. "They were up in Minnesota last year when I was called up but I never got to play," said Herrmann, who grew up in the Houston area. "Its just a good feeling and theyre waiting outside and I cant wait to see them." Minnesota snapped a five-game losing streak on a night when it looked as if the strikeout-prone Twins had no chance against the major league strikeout leader. Instead, Darvish (12-6) had a third straight start without a win and the right-handers home run total jumped to 22 after the Japanese ace allowed 14 his entire rookie season. "In that situation in the seventh inning, I told myself I cant allow a home run," Darvish, who has taken three no-hitters into the seventh inning this season, said through an interpreter. "And as soon as I told myself that, you know what happened." Nolan Ryan, the Rangers CEO who had the last two of his record seven no-hitters with Texas in 1990 and 1991, was watching from his usual spot on the front row as Darvish faced the minimum number of batters with 10 strikeouts through six innings. But Darvish didnt make it out of the seventh. He walked Brian Dozier to start the inning -- the Twins second baserunner of the game -- and Herrmann drove a fastball down the right-field line for a 2-all tie. Four pitches later, Morneau hit a hanging slider 409 feet into the upper deck in right. "I just feel like after that home run happened, he just kind of got rattled and things just kind of went haywire for him," said Herrmann, who has four homers. "I was the one that started it and things just got a little crazy for him, and, I dont know, it was nice. It was fun." After Morneaus drive, Darvish got Josh Willingham for his 11th strikeout and Ryan Doumit flied out. But manager Ron Washington pulled Darvish after a double by Trevor Plouffe, who struck out his first two times oon a 94 mph fastball and a 61 mph curve.dddddddddddd "He made two mistakes and they didnt miss them," catcher A.J. Pierzynski said. "Strikeouts are great, but the biggest thing is weve got to win the game." Twins starter Liam Hendriks (1-2) got his second career win by holding Texas to two runs -- one earned -- in six innings. Glen Perkins struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 31st save in 34 chances after relievers Brian Duensing and Josh Roenicke pitched around a one-out triple by Craig Gentry in the seventh. "You cant really think about it too much," Hendriks, the Australian right-hander, said of watching Darvish dominate on the other side. "Its me against their hitters and I need to try to match up my best and see what I can do against their guys. It was quick innings, so I didnt get too much of a breather some of the time." Darvishs other two no-hit bids came in Houston. He was an out away from a perfect game on April 2 before a single by Marwin Gonzalez, then pitched 7 1-3 hitless innings before a home run by Carlos Corporan on Aug. 12. Darvish gave up three hits in 6 2-3 innings and finished with 11 strikeouts -- his 11th double-digit strikeout game of the season. He now has 236 strikeouts, second to Ryans franchise record of 301 in 1989. For the first six innings, the Twins didnt even come close to a hit. Ninth-place hitter Pedro Florimon was so flustered he thought he had walked on a 2-2 count in the sixth -- one pitch after third-base umpire Tim McClelland kept his at-bat alive after ruling he checked his swing on 1-2. Darvish waved Florimon back to the plate as he walked down the first-base line, then struck him out on the full count. "That we were going to get him," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said of what he was thinking after six innings. "Always think that way. He was punching us out, absolutely. But we also had a couple of guys put some swings on him, so youve just got to figure out a way. Youve just got to hang in there." NOTES: Rangers RHP Neftali Feliz will skip his final rehab appearance Saturday and be activated when rosters expand Sunday. The closer turned starter hasnt pitched in the majors since May 18, 2012. He will be in the bullpen. Cheap China Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China ' ' '
