For the past few years, I've used the corridor between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve to throw a whole bunch of pre-written content out into the Canadian soccer world. The topics have ranged from checking in with members of our medal-winning women's national team, to recycling years-old satirical posts, to conducting podcast interviews with Canada soccer fans in all but one province/territory (sorry Yukon).
This year, I'll be keeping up the annual tradition of giving bored people something to kill time with / absolving myself of having to do actual work, but with a different spin. Rather than looking back, I'll be looking forward.
So, for lack of a more creative or original name, I'll bring you my Fearless Predictions for 2014. Yes, that's right, I make these generally-sarcastic prognostications without fear, mostly because there are no consequences if/when I'm wrong about some/all of them.

You'll see some of these predictions popping up over the next week or so in this space -- and feel free to leave some comments with your own surely-hilarious suggestions, to get a surely-hilarious conversation going with other commenters. But don't bother tweeting at me or trying to reach me... remember, I'm absolving myself of doing actual work.
Let me also take this time to thank all of you for continuing to support Canadian Soccer News -- and Canadian soccer in general -- through another unpredictable and tumultuous year in 2013. I'd say "good things are definitely ahead next year!", but this is Canadian soccer, we all know no one can make that claim with a straight face.
Instead, I'll just wish everyone good health and good luck in the year ahead, and a hearty it's December time to everyone!
