After the disappointment of missing out on the U21 World Cup, Canada's NT staff shift their focus towards the senior squad, hoping that, for the third straight year, Canada can go far in the tournament.
In the inaugural event in 2007, Canada went all the way to the final, where they fell at the final hurdle, losing 6-2. Canada almost made it all the way there again in 2008, but despite going to extra time in their semi-final game, an Australian golden goal ended their journey.
Still, our senior squad is strong as always, and here's hoping for glory in the 2009 ConfedCup! Here's our group: Angola (shouldn't be a problem), Bolivia (definitely our toughest test, but we'll no doubt be the favourites), Kazakhstan (again, shouldn't be a problem), Senegal (the weakest team in a weak group), South Africa (almost as weak as Senegal), and the UAE (shocked the world by making it all the way to the U21 World Cup quarter-finals, but their senior team surely isn't as good. Will probably be the only team that could challenge Canada and Bolivia for the top two spots).
