War of words escalates[/h3]
A war of words between Canadian men’s national team coach Dale Mitchell and Toronto FC captain Jim Brennan escalated yesterday ahead of Canada’s crucial World Cup qualifying match Saturday.

In a media question-and-answer session, Mitchell responded to the 31-year-old left fullback’s controversial comments earlier in the week about the direction of the national program after he was dropped from the squad.
Mitchell gave a flat “No” in response to the question of whether he would ever select Brennan again for Canada’s national team as long as he was coaching.
In announcing his lineups last Thursday for Canada’s upcoming games, Mitchell left the Toronto native out of the roster for Canada’s away game to Honduras Saturday and next Wednesday’s game in Edmonton against Mexico.
