I don't agree with that choice of music. It's not representative of the players on that team. Let the players with their multicultural & multi-ethnic BG choose the song. Also, I'm not a big fan of Celine. I think it could be seen as an option just because its so stereotypically Canadian. But I agree, it'd be hilariously awful. That being said, one of the clips making the rounds from their post-game celebrations was them singing Wonderwall which is almost as bad Not sure how it'd be done, but would kinda be interesting to get the players to pick one for us. The thought of some of the older Vs potentially having to learn a Drake song would be pretty incredible RS, Sal333 and johnyb 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cblake Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It really was a special three games stretch we just experienced. It really is great to see this country getting behind this in team dating back to September with big crowds in the stands and TV ratings nearing a million viewers as we saw for the US game. A big part of that is John Herdman just letting this team play, he is such a players coach. What a beauty of a guy.

The thought of some of the older Vs potentially having to learn a Drake song would be pretty incredible I mean, fan songs don't really have much relation to the players. I don't think many Liverpool players are listening to Gerry and the Pacemakers in their free time. I doubt any non-Geordie Newcastle player can even understand the words to Blaydon Races, nevermind sing them. As always, I will suggest the newer Maple Leaf Forever, but realistically its very difficult to pull this off without consistent home matches (or if we get a World Cup song that gets played ad-nauseum).

Especially if its against a minnow that Canada will blow up, it will just be a day just to take all in, thinking man this team is going to the "World Cup".

Sal333 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 My taste ventures more towards songs like Johnny B Goode, Bad to the Bone or Thunderstruck. But I'm sure half of the players on that team haven't heard any of those songs. MtlMario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a cursory glance I can see we have a few minor discrepancies in our spreadsheets (ex.I have Johnston at 846 vs. 837), but I suspect that’s down to me using FotMob which rounds up for some reason. If you get subbed out in the 60th minute, the app credits the player with 61 mins. Either way it’s nice to have someone else’s data to check against.

Should we all try to vote in a block for one of the Canadians? (Probably Davies) https://www.concacaf.com/concacaf-awards/ Edit: After thinking about it for a bit, I ultimately voted for David, but I still think Larin had a bigger year than either of them within CONCACAF.

Possibly in regards to stoppage time. I don't give any extra time past 90 even if there is alot of stoppage time. I was missing ga few. Instead but was too lazy to double check. footballfreak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
