MAUER, Austria – After shaking one monkey off their back last week, the Canadian men’s soccer team is looking to rid itself of another as they try for their first win since late 2012 tomorrow in Austria.
Canada hasn’t won a game since a 3-0 victory over Cuba in October 2012.
They also hadn’t scored a goal in 13 games until last Friday’s 1-1 draw against much higher-ranked Bulgaria.
Midfielder Julian de Guzman says a win Tuesday over Moldova would be an important step for the team to take as it rebuilds before the next World Cup run.
He says Canada needs to move up in the rankings and every friendly is crucial right now.
The veteran has been mentoring many of the young players brought in by new coach Benito Floro and he’s looking for the team to kick up their play a notch as they seek that all-important win.
