Canada's Only Soccer Gold Medal - FC Galt (Cambridge, On)

[Razcle]

Hey...I was just reading the history of the Canadian Soccer association when I came across our only Olympics gold medal in soccer. It happened in 1904 when the Olympics wasn't searly as organized as it is today...However, my home town sent a team that destroyed the Americans 7-0 and 4-0 to take the gold. Made me feel a little better after that Gold Cup game. Funny how I lived in Galt (Cambridge) my whole life and never knew about that....my History teachers should be taken out to the school pitch and tied to the goal posts while we fire balls at them...
