Canada 11-0 Kazakhstan: 2009 Senior ConfedCup

Can we please have some competition? Canada obliterates Kazakhstan as Eldridge gets his act together.
Yet again, Canada only played a couple minutes before breaking the deadlock. This time, it was Fabian Currie who scored the first. Blake Thornton was unlucky to see his shot come back off the bar just a few minutes later, but Currie soon made it 2-0, and Perry Ferreira added another in the 24th minute to make it 3-0 after half an hour played. However, the Kazakhs went close to pulling one back when Andrey Bryukhov hit the bar after finding himself with plenty of time and space. After a corner that resulted soon after was cleared, Currie sent Carlos Eldridge through on breakaway, who didn't disappoint, making it 4-0 Canada. Eldridge scored another in the 42nd minute, and the score was 5-0 at half-time. Currie had a few good chances early in the second half, but it was Eldridge who made it 6-0, thus recording a hat trick, when his shot was mishandled by Aleksandr Kazakov and trickled in. Currie sealed a hat trick of his own three minutes later, before Eldridge scored his fourth and Canada's eighth with only about twenty minutes left. Ferreira scored number nine, and Terrance Bryson, for the first time so far in the tournament, got on the score sheet with a well-taken goal that ensured Canada had scored at least ten for the second game in a row. Finally, Currie scored with a long-range shot that seemed to go straight through Kazakov, and so the final score was 11-0 for Canada.
The Kazakhs played a 3-2-3-2 with a use wings style of play. They conceded a fair few throw-ins, but did manage to create a few chances which they couldn't finish. Their defence - which includes the goalkeeper - was poor, and allowed Canada to cake-walk their way through to goal after goal. Again, mikexvi did not change the line-up and formation that were used in the last two games.
Eldridge probably had his best game so far, and Currie again played well. Ferreira had an off-day, only finding the net twice, which is quite disappointing considering his previous performances. Germain Rangel had a stand-out performance himself in defence. Though he has not played many games for Canada up until now, he was solid breaking down attacks and starting them. He was not at all afraid to go forward! So, I'd say the man of the match award would be a tie between Rangel and Eldridge.
However, despite a dominating start, it's worth noting that all the teams we faced are puny. Bolivia will be our first (and perhaps only) true test of the group stages.
