Mind you, I don't know how good Saudi Arabia and Iran are; I saw they were amongst the strongest in Asia qualifying Luckily for Mexico and USA, you already established that Iran and Saudi Arabia doing well in qualifying is a useless statistic. And luckily for Iran and Saudi Arabia, it's equally useless that Asia has only had 1 team out of the last 2 World Cups advance to the knockout rounds (Japan in 2018).

For a global audience though, I'm tempted to say... 1. Davies 2. Buchanan 3. Hutchinson Buchanan isn't unsung on this board (neither is Eustaquio or Johnston, but both are good shouts) but he isn't known by many outside of CONCACAF.

Vasi Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Has anyone else here who lives in Toronto noticed the world cup ads for tsn on ttc bus stop shelters. Here in etobicoke they are on almost every ttc bus stop. All of them either have 3 canadian players or just 3 players with Davies in the center in both versions. The hype is starting....man I honestly never thought that I would see this. Its amazing. I keep on dreaming on how the whole marketing and meda machine would really get behind this team and the sport if we make it out of the group. I think that this is exactly what Herdman has been preaching to the guys the last 4 years. johnyb, A.D.I.D.A.S., Fresh Prince of MTL and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he specifically did a terrible job, but the awkward edits after each half sentence looks really bad. Maybe the weird edits are because he did do a bad job and can't remember a couple sentences, I don't know. But it looks like a bad youtuber moment.

It's fucking awful. I'm honestly so fucking sick of baseball and hockey analysis and the lack thereof in regards to soccer. So when I see they've got a hockey guy with his cringy fucking hockey-bro shtick doing a soccer promo I practically start having convulsions. I get they want the hockey crowd to tune in so it makes sense, I guess. Anyway...maybe have a soccer guy throwing to the soccer hype vid? That said, top notch vid though I agree lol. johnyb and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he exactly said that. I might have missed it but he definitely did say something along the lines of how typically in World Cups teams bring a roster of 23 players, but only 17-18 players see the field. I might have the numbers a bit wrong, might have been 16-17. And it might not have been "see the field" might have been something like "get the bulk of the time" or "sees significant minutes". I think it probably comes somewhere in the "Outside shot at spot?" part of this video, queued up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trc2014 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Was having a think this morning about the nicest Canadian goals of the past 5-10 years. I know they are all playing for second with the Davies Panama goal but what would you put as second and third? Not talking importance here, just finish. Quick contenders that come to mind for me are Hoilett GC quarterfinal against Jamaica, Cav against the US in NL and de Jong against Ghana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
