Canada has been eliminated from the FIFA U-17 World Cup Mexico 2011 after a 0-0 draw with Rwanda.

Canada knows that only a win against Rwanda will be good enough to see the squad through to the Round of 16 at the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

Not only did Roberts become the first goalie to score in the history of the U-17 World Cup, he became the first keeper to hit the scoresheet in any FIFA final tournament.

Canadian goalkeeper Quillan Roberts was the hero, but not for his shot-stopping as much as his astonishing goal that gave Canada its first ever point at a FIFA U-17 World Cup.

Canada gave up three second-half goals in an 0:3 loss to Uruguay in its opening match of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Mexico 2011.

Canada will kick off its 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup campaign on 19 June with a match against Uruguay at the Estadio Hidalgo.

Fans across Canada will have the opportunity to cheer on Canada’s National Teams from the comfort of their home this summer.
