Looks like Richard Hastings will have a busy summer ...... he played the full 90 minutes in Canada's 1-0 win over Cyprus in Larnaca on 30th May [REPORT] and came on for the second half in last night's 3-0 friendly win over Guatemala in California. New Toronto FC striker Ali Gerba scored twice for the Canadians [REPORT].

The friendly was the final warm up game in preparation for the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup that starts tomorrow in Los Angeles .....

Canada will play Jamaica tomorrow in the opening game of the tournament in Carson, California, then El Salvador on the 7th in Columbus Ohio and Costa Rica on the 10th in Miami. The QFs are on the 18th/19th in Philadelphia and Dallas, the semis on the 23rd in Chicago and the final on the 26th in New Jersey.

Its 3 groups of 4 with the top 2 teams going through from each group plus 2 of the 3rd placed teams so Canada must have a chance of reaching the QFs at least .....

ohh..... and Richard makes an appearance on the front page of the Canadian Soccer Association website !

Davide Xausa used to play for Vancouver Whitecaps did he not?

Yes. After he left Falkirk he went to them

Well, who knows Scotty-- about Richard Hastings---you may be right damn your eyes. LOL

Yes, Xausa did in fact play in Vancouver as far as I remember .
