Re: Editorial – Canada’s World Cup team made us proud, unlike the coach

Mel I do enjoy your segment on CFJC news, but I feel you were off base with your comments about Canada’s Soccer coach. In any sport at the highest level it’s the coach’s job to inspire and fire up their players .

Coach Herdman is no exception, and I bet his players had no problem with what he said.

No sports fan that I have talked to had any problem with what he said, it’s what coaches say, they usually just don’t tell the media, for the very reasons to avoid comments like yours.
