Canada paid a visit to the tropical Caribbean island of St. Lucia, but it was strictly for business. When the Canucks took to the pitch at Gros Islet, the objective was clear: win. Norwich City striker Simeon Jackson (pictured) had his best international performance, scooping up a first-half hat trick in a twenty-minute span. Canada took a 4-0 lead into the second half.Canada continued to assault St. Lucia's goal. Three more goals were scored to give Canada a 7-0 final scoreline in their favor. Not all went well for Canada, however. Will Johnson had to be subbed off in the seventeenth minute due to an ankle sprain and will be the Puerto Rico match on Tuesday. After suffering this massive drubbing at home, St. Lucia have been eliminated from the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
A result that Canada loved seeing came out of the match between hosts Puerto Rico and visiting St. Kitts and Nevis in Bayamon. The two sides played to a scoreless draw in their first meeting, and Puerto Rico had yet to score in the competition.
