Soccer Al Dannity Last Updated: May 31, 2013 Friendly Schmendly, Canada and USA WNTs Battle Sunday The rematch Canadian Soccer fans have been waiting for since the summer is almost here.

Soccer Frank Doyle Last Updated: April 26, 2013 Schallibaum Scolds Montreal Impact Before Chicago Fire Date After this week’s 2-0 loss to Toronto FC in Amway Canadian Championship play, the Montreal Impact could only look forward to Saturday’s home date with the Chicago Fire.
