Greenland for me has always been a strange, almost mythical place once referenced in the mighty ducks. One thing this confederation needs is more arctic climate matches to combat the years of sweaty, humid bumpy pitch shenanigans we’ve had to deal with in Central America. I believe that was Iceland referenced in the Mighty Ducks, but doesn't take away from your point. In the original script it was Canada, but Disney didn't want to offend their biggest out of country market. Alex, Shway and Obinna 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a line I was thinking of from the mighty ducks where Gordon Bombay is having ice cream with the “Iceland chick.” And he says, “wait I thought Greenland was green and Iceland was made of ice.” She says, “Greenland is covered in ice and Iceland is very nice.” lol johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treppy2 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Fun but useless trivia fact: even though you can physically see Greenland from Canada (my partner could see it from her field site on Ellesmere Island), the only way to travel there (without chartering a plane or boat) is by flying via Copenhagen. Would be an epic trip. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil R. Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 So, Greenland applies for CONCACAF membership shortly after Air Greenland announces they're starting a weekly flight to Iqaluit?

Would make Bombito even more valuable. Just had to look up what you were referring too. I need the 100m dash standard to become a talking point for offside. I don't think the new proposal solves anything, but measuring by the player's torso's makes soo much more sense than toes or knees. I think I could handle a nit-picked offside call that was based on a players chest being a millimeter ahead of the other player's chest, but I can't when it's toes.

Below the USA and Mexico, but right up there with Canada, Jamaica, Costa Rica, and Panama, and clear of Honduras, El Salvador, etc. Canuckia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be important when we fail to qualify for 2030 because we're a millimetre offside on a dark, stormy night in Nuuk. It's almost prophetic.

Obinna Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 They'd have to add the flight, but St. John's to Nuuk would be a sensilble alternative to Iqaluit. For just a little over double the distance, you get way more in terms of infrastructure as far as setting up a Canada camp is concerned (fields, hotels, george street, etc.): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 The next 3 games are going to be a brutal test for our defenders/keepers. I don't envy them. It could get real ugly. The Netherlands, France & Argentina collectively possess the quality of forwards/attacking players that Canada or certainly this current group of defenders, have never faced before and that includes the 3 games at the WC. It's a tough introduction for Marsch or any new coach given the time frame/lack of prep time. It's a very different situation compared to the one that Herdman faced. Let's hope the Netherlands & France don't go full throttle. Corazon, narduch, jhoops__ and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of who is on the sideline Delighted that the CSA were able to arrange such high profile opponents and yes we do need to prep for Copa, but with a new coach who has had no camps/ games/ prep time with this squad, an 80% Netherlands and a 70% France would be a good enough test given the current situation. Incremental steps. Most of this squad faced Belgium, Croatia, Morocco and Japan. Getting blown out in the 2 games would not be a positive going into Copa. Hopefully we won't.
