Today is your day Boomer! I am not a big soccer fan, but it is hard not to get excited about Canada's mens national team! This week they qualified for the World Cup in Qatar with a resounding 4-0 trouncing of Jamaica and moved into the World Cup tourney for the first time in 36 years....that was when I was just 27! Wow, that seems like a lifetime ago. I know many Boomers are soccer....er, football supporters and will relish Canada's first crack at the big time in a long time. But, let's not forget about the Canadian women. They have been in the top ten globally for a long time and, of course, recently won the Olympic gold medal in the Summer Games. They are currently ranked 6th, while the men are 33rd....it means the guys have a long way to go to catch up and the women deserve alot of recognition. Boomers, maybe some of us...like me....should start to watch soccer again. The skill and pride is there and we, as a nation, have alot to look forward to. Cheers!!
