The decade without a name review: Part X - Golden times

No. 1 - Feb. 27, 2000 - Simply Gold. Canada wins the Gold Cup



There is really no mystery as to what the biggest moment of the decade was. Canada doesn't win international soccer titles. Except it did on Feb 27, 2000.

And they did it in style. The final was dominated by Canada from start to finish. If you are a Canadian fan, take the nine minutes to watch the Youtube video. Forget It's a Wonderful Life. This is Christmas cheer for the hard-done-by Canuck football fan. Then go back and read how the Voyageurs reacted at the time. I dare you not to smile.

No, we didn't capitalize on it. But, that doesn't change how wonderful we all felt that day. There is nothing to say we can't get back there again.

It’s been in interesting 10 years for the sport. Although there has been down, this list shows that there has been some good things to hold onto as well. I look forward to watching the next 10 years.

Have a good one...I’ll be back on Dec. 27.
