ROYAL VISIT: Kate-mania in Canada!

Beaming broadly, a picture-perfect Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down in Ottawa this afternoon to be greeted by thousands of Royal fans as they began their first official Royal tour together.


Kate looked elegant and graceful despite the blustery conditions, and concealed any nerves on this, her first major test as a fully-fledged member of the Royal family, with a wide smile.

The newlywed couple were greeted by a host of dignitaries and a wall of photographers as they stepped on to the gusty runway, before being driven to the city centre where crowds had been gathering to meet the couple since early this morning.




















They were formally greeted at the airport by the Canadian Foreign Minister. The Duchess accepted a posy from a young boy on the tarmac and chatted to him for some time before moving along the line of dignitaries as William waited for a few moments in their car.

It was adorned with a special flag created in their honour by Canada's prime minister, Stephen Harper - the first to be designed by the Commonwealth country for a member of the royal family since 1962.


The flag was given Prince William’s seal of approval and that of the Queen, who was the last royal to adopt one for her own use.


The Duchess had transformed herself during the seven hour flight from London, and was wearing a dress by the hugely fashionable designer Erdem Moralioglu, favoured by Samantha Cameron and Michelle Obama. Erdem is another Canadian designer born in Montreal.

The dress was a navy, lace Cecile shift scoop-backed dress of contrast stone crepe with a navy lace overlay. The dress has a sheer lace sleeve with a scallop detail.


She sported the same nude LK Bennett £175 heels she has sported on several occasions recently. Her hairdresser, James Pryce, had also swept her hair back in a 'half up, half down' do to account for the slight breeze.

After their official welcome, they headed straight for the National War Memorial in the centre of the city.

As the couple's official car drew up along the red carpet, they were greeted by the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife Laureen.

The 10,000 strong crowd, waving Canadian flags and flowers, cheered wildly as they stepped out. Tanned Kate looked particularly delighted at the warm reception and waved shyly.

The foursome approached the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and stood in quiet contemplation as the Last Post was played by a lone trumpeter.


William then placed a large wreath on the monument while his wife leant forwards to put down a small posey. The duchess warmly greeted the woman who had handed it to her, Mabel Girouard.

Mrs Girouard's son Bobby, 46, was killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan in 2006. She was chosen by the Canadian Legion as their Memorial Silver Cross Mother.

As they left the memorial the couple undertook what will be the first of many walkabouts, sending the crowd into a frenzy. There were as many screams for William as there were for Kate.

The Duchess looked delighted as she was handed armfuls of flowers and gifts.'Thank you so much. We are so delighted to be here,' she said.

Great honour: A special flag created for the young Royal couple flew from the bonnet of their car. It's the first new flag to be designed by a Commonwealth country for a member of the Royal family since 1962. Right, the Prince's standard was waved from the Canadian Air Force plane as the couple landed

Occasionally she looked over to her husband on the other side of the crowd to make sure she was moving quickly enough.


GLITTERING KATE: QUEEN OFFERS DUCHESS THE PICK OF HER JEWELS

The Mail can reveal that the Queen has given the new Duchess the pick of her fabulous collection of jewels for the 11-day trip.

The monarch, who is said to be extremely fond of her grandson’s new bride, wants Kate to shine on her first major test as a member of the Royal Family.

A few weeks ago she invited the 29-year-old Duchess into Buckingham Palace to choose from her priceless collection of tiaras, necklaces and bracelets.

Some, such as the legendary Delhi Durbar diamond and emerald necklace, belong to the Queen personally, while others are held by the monarch on behalf of the nation.

A source said: 'Although, given the largely informal theme of the tour, particularly in Canada, there is no need for tiaras or the like, the Queen owns one of the most valuable collections of jewellery.

‘The Duchess was touched by her offer. She has picked out one or two exquisite pieces she wishes to borrow.

'Her choices were made with a particular eye on the Los Angeles leg of the trip, where she knows she needs to dazzle.’

William looked equally thrilled as one woman told him;'Canada is so happy you are here.' 'Thank you, that is so kind,' he replied.

As she waited for the prince to finish Kate chatted with the Prime Minister and his wife and told them: 'That was so amazing, there were so many people there.... How many do you think?

'We have been on the go since 7.30 this morning so it's been a long day.'

Then, as the couple got into their official car, her first test over, Kate leant into her husband's shoulder and grinned broadly with undisguised relief.

But the new Duchess only had a brief respite before the couple were driven to Ottawa's Rideau Hall, the governor general's residence, for an official welcome event.

Prince William charmed the crowd by flitting between English and French, as Kate looked on admiringly.

He joked: 'It will improve as we go on,' and continued: 'Catherine and I are so delighted to be here in Canada.

'Instilled in us by our parents and grandparents, who love this country, we have been looking forward to this moment for a very long time – and before we were married, we had a longing to come here together.

'The geography of Canada is unsurpassed and is famous for being matched only by the hospitality of its people. We are so very excited about having this opportunity to experience both – and learn much more about this amazing country.'

Among those who turned out the greet the Royal couple was Jennifer Baldwin, 19, who drove for 21 hours from her home in Bloomington, Illinois, and stood in the street from 5.30am to see the couple at close quarters.

She said: 'I talked to William and congratulated him on the wedding and he said "thank you very much", he's so polite! My mum told him we had come from the U.S. and he said: "We're going there next".

'It was completely worth the journey just for that five seconds. I mean, I shook his hand!'

Francine Dorion, 50, gave the Duchess a tapestry she had made, featuring a picture of the couple kissing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on their wedding day.

She said: 'Kate said it was beautiful and thanked me for doing it for them. She is so pretty and reminds me of Diana. She just steals you.'

Tomorrow they will take part in Canada Day - a special day for William as it would have been his mother's 50th birthday. They will be opening the Calgary Stampede and canoeing in the Northwest Territories before flying to Los Angeles.

he Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made a sombre start to their official tour with a visit to the Canadian War Memorial. Flanked by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife Laureen, they pause for a moment of silence

During the visit, Prince William will demonstrate his skills as a helicopter rescue pilot by performing a water landing. Later, they will head to Quebec City where they will don their aprons for a cooking workshop.


Tomorrow they will mark Canada Day and after their week-long tour of Canada they will jet to LA to host a gala dinner.

There, they will promote up-and-coming British film talent by introducing them to Hollywood executives.

The south Californian trip will include a $4,000-a-head three-course meal and charity polo match, giving revellers an opportunity to get close to the Duke and Duchess.

The Queen has given the new Duchess the pick of her fabulous collection of jewels for the 11-day trip.


The monarch, who is said to be extremely fond of her grandson’s new bride, wants Kate to shine on her first major test as a member of the Royal Family.

A few weeks ago she invited the 29-year-old Duchess into Buckingham Palace to choose from her priceless collection of tiaras, necklaces and bracelets, and she picked out one or two pieces to borrow.

While Kate is said to be ‘excited beyond belief’ at the prospect of the hugely anticipated tour, she is also keen not to overshadow her new husband.

It is one of the reasons she has chosen not to make any public speeches during the trip, while the Duke will make several.


In this she appears to have learnt a lesson from the experience of Princess Diana, who repeatedly stole the limelight from her then husband, Prince Charles, and in doing so unwittingly drove a wedge between them.

The prince would become particularly frustrated when, during official walkabouts, the crowds would groan and call for Diana when he approached them.

Walkabouts will be a particular feature of the Canadian leg of William and Kate’ s trip as they attempt to meet as many of their future subjects as possible.

Their arrival in the Commonwealth country, where the Queen is still sovereign, is eagerly anticipated, with frenzied minute-by-minute television coverage.

Each public appearance is expected to draw thousands of well-wishers on to the streets and large crowds gathered from early yesterday keen to meet the glamorous young newly-weds.


Some anti-royal protests are, however, expected later in the week in the French-speaking provinces, with small republican groups planning protests in Quebec City and Montreal.

‘This visit is really a battle for the hearts and minds of Canadian as to what to do down the road about the head of state in Canada,’ said University of Ottawa History Professor Michael Behiels.

They had no fears about winning over Joyce Udell, 57, a diplomat with the Canadian Government, had delayed travelling home to St John's in Newfoundland in order to see the couple.

She said: 'I don't like to use the word admire but I like her style, I like both their styles, they're not as ostentatious as some in the royal family.


'Kate, she reinvents herself with her clothes and wears the same dress twice - which the royals don't do.

'They are going to be a fabulous king and queen in the future. They are obviously in love and I think that's where their strength lies.'

Cherie Gray, 50, a by-law enforcement officer from the town of Manitouwadge, Ontario had made a six-hour detour while on holiday in the national province with husband David, 51, to see the royal couple.

She said: 'We're so excited to be here and hopefully to meet Kate - she brings a new revival to the royal family and represents the younger generation.'

June 30-July 2: The National Capital Region (Ottawa)







FINAL DE WIMBLEDON: Sharapova buscará el título de Wimbledon ante una inexperta rival









La rusa, que ganó el torneo en 2004, enfrentará a la checa Petra Kvitova, que nunca ha jugado una final de Grand Slam.













La rusa Maria Sharapova, ex número uno del mundo, jugará por el título de Wimbledon ante la checa Petra Kvitova, que disputará su primera final de un Grand Slam.

Sharapova, que ganó Wimbledon con 17 años en 2004, elimimó a la alemana Sabine Lisicki tras ganar por 6-4 y 6-3 en la segunda semifinal femenina disputada en el All England Club.

Antes, Kvitova, octava cabeza de serie en Wimbledon, había derrotado a la cuarta favorita, la bielorrusa Victoria Azarenka, por 6-1, 3-6 y 6-2 en una hora y 44 minutos.

Kvitova, de 21 años, declaró que "no puedo creer que esté en una final de Wimbledon. No puedo decir nada, sólo que estoy muy feliz".

La mejor actuación de la checa en un Grand Slam había sido precisamente en Wimbledon, el año pasado, cuando llegó a semifinales.

There's something about Maria: Sharapova gives it her all as she grunts her way to Wimbledon final

Service not included! Sharapova powers to final despite suffering double fault despair


Seven years ago, a beaming and carefree 17-year-old Maria Sharapova won the ladies' singles title on a sun-kissed Centre Court.


The more pragmatic lady of 24 will be hoping for rain on Saturday and a closed roof, judging by the havoc that the merest whiff of wind is wreaking with a serve that has become a liability

Tossing the ball up in a smooth arc is an art form that is taken for granted until it goes awry at all manner of angles. The simple becomes problematic, the hand doesn't listen to the head and the mind stirs in doubt.


Cue the tennis equivalent of golfing yips. Thirteen double-faults in only nine service games is not the stuff of champions. Or maybe it is. If Maria doesn't have a clue what is coming next or where her serve is going, how can her opponent?

Weakness became a strength in the drip, drip, drip of double faults on Thursday and Sharapova emerged a 6-4, 6-3 victor over Sabine Lisicki

The German girl wanted to stand inside the baseline to swing harder and sooner at the Sharapova second serve. Trouble was, no rhythm meant no rhyme and certainly no reason to be confident of the ball's destination.


It was as likely to clip the outside of the line as plop harmlessly into the net. Lisicki lost clarity in her own thought process and second-guessed her way to distraction, surrendering the advantage as she did so.

Thankfully, the rest of Sharapova's game – brutish hitting so flat that the ball is skidding past her startled opponents – is compensating for the vagaries of the serve.

It is why she chose to receive in the opening game of the match. If she could, the fifth seed would probably let Petra Kvitova start every point in the final.
'My ball toss was all over the place. I'll have to work on it,' said Sharapova in the understatement of the fortnight.

'From the beginning I felt like I was rushing things. She's someone who has pretty big swings so I didn't really want to give her too many looks on second serves. Maybe I overthought it.
'Experience is an incredible asset to have because you've been through situations before. Even though things weren't going my way in the beginning, I went back to basics.'

As well as age and wisdom, the commodity Sharapova possesses in greater helpings than the girls she has swept away without the loss of a single set so far is presence on court.


At ease on Centre in two previous matches this tournament, Lisicki was thrown by the size of Thursday's occasion.

For Sharapova, her courtside seat felt as comfortable as that favourite armchair at home. Meanwhile, up in the players' box, her basketball superstar boyfriend Sasha Vujacic also looked at ease in his grandiose surroundings, interspersing fist-pumps and guttural words of encouragement with lobbing sticks of chewing gum to a couple of corporate female guests across the stairwell.

Knowing that the stage is yours - a sentiment with which Hollywood legend Robert Redford, looking on from the Royal Box, would no doubt concur - is a gift granted to champions.
Lisicki does not yet possess it, panicking over a 3-0 lead rather than building upon it, allowing belief to escape when Sharapova mounted her comeback and all but begging umpire Louise Engzell to suspend play because of raindrops when she stood 2-0 and 0-30 down in the second set.

When she did finally decide that there was a place in the women's final to be fought over, it was too late. In spite of - not because of - her serve, Sharapova clinched a return to her coming-out party venue of seven years ago.

'I remember I was so thrilled to be in the final back then. I had been down and out in the semis, ready to pack my bags and go home. It just happened to rain and I was able to turn things around.'

The Centre Court roof means that rain can have little effect nowadays - except on a dodgy service action.

Kvitova through to maiden Grand Slam final with yelping (fore)hand


One thing about Petra Kvitova making it to the Wimbledon final, her first in a Grand Slam - it will be quieter.

Had Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova ended up carrying their bouquets of flowers on to Centre Court on Saturday the All England Club would have risked another stiff letter from Health & Safety officials if they failed to provide ear plugs for spectators.

As it transpires, the final will not be grunt-free. Shazza is a screamer, especially when in trouble; Kvitova, while the least voluble of the four semi-finalists, still lets out a yelp when hitting a clean winner, especially on her formidable forehand.

Pure delight: Petra Kvitova celebrates her semi-final win over Victoria Azerenka to reach the final


With the 21-year-old from the Czech Republic firing 41 winners to Azarenka's paltry nine in her 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 win, Centre Court sounded a bit like Battersea Dogs Home.

Add to that Azarenka's squealing on every shot and the ringing of a fire alarm which stopped play for a minute and you have a right assault on the senses.

By and large, grunting has been seen as an issue for the women over the years. When Monica Seles first started backing up her groundstrokes vocally, it was seen as a clarion call for grunting.

Kvitova will have to take second best to Sharapova in the noise battle, as she will in nearly every other department, from age and experience to achievements. But she reckons to have one trick up her sleeve.


'Left-handed,' she replied instantly and with conviction when asked if she might have any advantage over the Russian.

Indeed, the left-handed serve is often thought to cause as many problems for right-handed tennis players as southpaws do against orthodox boxers.

Kvitova is the first left-hander to reach the final since her childhood idol, Martina Navratilova in 1994. And the nine-time Wimbledon singles champion, seated next to Richard Branson, watched as her countrywoman out-hit the Belarusian No 4 seed.


'At he start of the tournament I tipped Kvitova to take the title and I've not seen anything to make me change my mind,' said Navratilova.

A well-directed swerving rather than particularly fast serve, allied to a huge forehand, won Kvitova the first set in just 27 minutes.



COPA AMERICA 2011: Markarian entregó nómina peruana

El entrenador uruguayo de la selección peruana, Sergio Markarian, entregó esta tarde la nómina de los 23 jugadores que irán a la Copa América, en donde será rival de Chile.


El ex DT de Universidad de Chile ya tenía tres bajas y anoche sumó dos más tras el partido amistoso ante Senegal. Los jugadores Luis Ramírez y Carlos Zambrano al final no viajarán a Argentina.

Las otras tres bajas sensibles son los delanteros Jefferson Farfán y Claudio Pizarro, y el volante Juan Manuel Vargas.

Los 23 nominados de Perú son:

El entrenador de la selección de Perú, Sergio Markarian, aclaró este jueves que el verdadero objetivo de su selección es llegar bien al inicio de las eliminatorias al Mundial a iniciarse en octubre, tras emprender viaje a Argentina para la Copa América, donde será rival de Chile el 12 de julio en Mendoza.


El técnico de origen uruguayo llamó a no inquietarse a la afición y al medio futbolí­stico si no se dan los resultados en el Grupo C, amén de las bajas por lesión, dado que la meta es empezar con el pie derecho la fecha doble de octubre ante Paraguay en Lima y Chile, en Santiago.

"Estamos muy tranquilos con lo que hicimos y lo que vamos a seguir haciendo. Así­ que si los resultados nos acompañan, bienvenidos, y si no es así­, vamos a seguir trabajando porque el verdadero objetivo viene en octubre", aseguró.

Markarian pidió tener "equilibrio" en las dudas con su selección, debido a los cinco lesionados que hubo en la preparación, entre ellos los delanteros Claudio Pizarro y Jefferson Farfán.

"Hay que tener equilibrio, ni pensar que todo está bien y que vamos a ganar todo lo que venga, ni que hemos perdido de antemano por la cantidad de lesionados. No hay que decepcionarnos antes de tiempo", comentó.

Por último, el ex técnico de Universidad de Chile llamó a "confiar" en los reemplazantes que irán a Argentina. "Vamos a confiar en el talento que tenemos, sabiendo que es difí­cil, pero vamos a intentarlo", sentenció.

Recordar que, aparte del pleito con Chile, el conjunto del Rí­mac debutará el 4 de julio ante Uruguay en San Juan y jugará el 8 del mismo mes contra México en Mendoza.

WOMEN'S SOCCER WORLD CUP: Death by group knocks Canada out at Germany 2011

Death by group knocks Canada out at Germany 2011




Candace Chapman


Canada could not find that magic touch as it failed to pick up a point for the second match in a row at the FIFA Women's World Cup Germany 2011. Canada's 0:4 loss to France combined with Germany's 1:0 win over Nigeria officially eliminated Canada from tournament in the group phase.



Canada has one match remaining, but will not catch either Germany or France who have each collected six points in their opening two matches. Canada will play Nigeria on 5 July in Dresden for third place in the group and hopefully a better ranking amongst the eliminated teams.



Canada was unquestionably in the toughest group of the competition, as three of the four teams stood as continental champions. France was the lone exception, although it maintains the best record of all four teams with just one loss in all international matches since the start of 2010.



The FIFA Women's World Cup Germany 2011 runs 26 June to 17 July in nine cities. Canada will conclude its fifth participation in a FIFA Women's World Cup on 5 July 2011. Canada has already qualified for the next competition as host of the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015.



After the FIFA Women's World Cup Germany 2011, Canada will turn its attention to the 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualification Tournament in Vancouver, BC. Along the way, it will compete in the Pan American Games Guadalajara 2011 this October.







TORONTO CENTRAL SOCCER LEAGUE: Toronto Flames and Genesis at the top








TORONTO, by Juan Carlos Cordero (UNO International News Service). Women's soccer in Canada is getting an amazing lift by the performances of our National Women's teams (ranked 6th in the FIFA World rankings), which was highlighted on the week end lost 2-1 against Germany, the host and current champions.



Close to home, we can enjoy the Ontario Women Soccer League (OWSL) and the Women District Soccer League (WDSL) with its division (Premier, First, Second), organizaed by the Toronto Soccer Association. I have coached a Premier Team, "Toronto Blue Devils", with many varsity players from the University of Toronto and other colleges and universities. Players such Andrea Magallanes, Maude Patry, Lynne Fox, Jennifer Imrie, Monika Cordero, Brandi Boulet, Katherine Schjott, Melodie Lumague, Amelie Messier, Vicky Berrow, Kendan Borgogelli, Andi Larocca, Claudia Bianchi and Anna Comerton, among others, were a mix of experience and youthful entusiasm, displeyed with high performance soccer skills.

At the Toronto Central Soccer League, now many years in the making, a league founded in 1974 by Ecuadorian professional soccer player, Frank Espinoza, Torontians have seen various generation of amazing players, continue now with the direction of Lynne Fox, Carolyn and Silvio Aguayo, entre otros.

Now, for example, there are many that played great soccer with fancy skills that you can see in the Thursday evening competitions at Eglinton Flats and Earlscourt park (the same venue for upcoming Brazil Fest 2011): a Costa Rican creative midfielder, Isabel who seem to have a brilliant mind, always thinking ahead and passing with precision behind defenders; fast Danielle Wedge, a soccer player and athlete too, that create a great tandem with # 22 J.Aucari; # 7 "Chai" Valente, a powerful and fast striker and Jamie, a #11 that creates chaos in rival defense; or one that I don't have her name, # 33, in the red Earlscourt team, only comparable with Toronto Flames star, Madison, a petite player but a giant player with an amazing field panoramic vision and able to play defense and midfield, with technical and tactical skills only comparable to those from Latin America, Brazil or Argentina. When her teammate, # 9 (Tanya?) is on the field, it is power soccer play for the Toronto Flames, team that already has gotten winning trophies and indoor and now is in the top of the Earscourt tournament with Genesis FC.

I don't have all the names at hand but in the Earscourt's blue team, we can highlight Michelle and Chantelle in the ream squad.


Club History


The Toronto Central Soccer Club (TCSC) was created in 1974 in the central region of Toronto to promote and develop the game of soccer. Founded by Frank Espinoza, the Club wanted to give its members the opportunity to develop their character and confidence. Frank believed that soccer not only enhanced an individual's physical and mental state, but helped them to develop leadership skills that would enable them to become responsible members of their community.



The TCSC has developed into the largest women's soccer club in Toronto. It provides an environment that is challenging, supportive, safe and fun so that women of all levels can enjoy the game. Throughout the years the TCSC has received many awards from its governing bodies, including the Toronto Soccer Association and the Ontario Soccer Association, for its work in promoting the game of soccer.

The Board of Directors and its membership are deeply thankful for the endless work of Frank Espinoza in furthering women's soccer in Toronto. And it is in his memory, that we continue to promote women's soccer in Toronto
