CONCACAF should use this policy, would give their imaginary cards a lot more meaning

According to Association spokesperson, Helen Dabney-Coyle, "By removing the ball, it's absolutely impossible to say 'this team won' and 'this team lost' or 'this child is better at soccer than that child.'"

Heaven forbid kids find out that another child might actually be better then them at something. This is so dumb but that's Canada's problem.

I'd say there is life lessons to be learned in losing. Sometimes things aren't going to go your way and when they don't you have to learn from the mistakes and work harder next time. If I had a child in a league that had done this I would pull them out of it.

I'm all for not crushing a kids soul but saying everyone is a winner sets a bad precedent for future events. Also doing this shite doesn't really help a kid decide if he likes soccer or not. Personally I would have gotten tired of imaginary soccer after about 5 minutes once I saw that there were about 50 different "balls" in play and everyone scored every time they touched it.

When was the last time Canada played in a World Cup? I don't recall it happening in my lifetime

They've only been to one and I believe that was in 1986.

If they start playing hockey with no puck does that turn it into some sort of figure skating?

I once played a game of soccer like this, I had a rocket volley from 65 yards out.




It hit the crossbar :'(
