Canadian men’s soccer team looks to end nine-game scoring drought
CELJE, Slovenia – Captain Dwayne De Rosario admits there’s a little frustration on Canada’s men’s soccer team with a scoring drought that stretches back nine games.
But as they prepare to play Slovenia on Tuesday, he says they’re keeping positive and believe opportunities will come.
De Rosario said it would be different if they weren’t creating scoring chances.
He also says it’s a great time for a young player to join the national team and he likes the direction it is headed under new coach Benito Floro.
After a 2-0 loss against the Czech Republic last Friday, Floro has said he expects to start some of those young players against Slovenia.
Like Canada, Slovenia has failed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup.
