Kadenge Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 It's true many of our players are out of form and there's a "new" head coach, but we were banged up pretty bad going into the WC and still had a very good game vs Belgium and periods of solid play vs Croatia & Morrocco. Japan is in top form and will be a massive test but that's what this team needs. I think our players are going to be pumped for the game. h coach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally McCoist Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Does anybody know why on Wikipedia it states that Canada is set to face UAE in a friendly on January 6? I've seen this happen before with Japan where the Wikipedia page stated we were facing Japan (last year) long before it was officially confirmed. Weird. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_men's_national_soccer_team_results_(2020–present) gigi riva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAE does have Asian Cup starting on the 14th, so we could be their prep fixture. It does say on the Canadian page that UAE would host so that would make sense as the Asian Cup is in nearby Qatar. And for us, they would be an opponent with (I assume) a modest appearance fee that's good enough to get something out of the game, but not so good they'd get smashed. UAE are ranked 70th (decent) and beat CR recently IIRC. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates_national_football_team_results_(2020–present) Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have a good enough domestic squad to give them a serious test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense financially for us because they would host us and pay us and would work out for them because we would be cheap (I assume). gigi riva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Wales returns to oldest international ground that is Wrexham's Racecourse Ground for a friendly vs Gibraltar tomorrow (can watch on DAZN). CMNT's connection to Wrexham is that we played one of five internationals staged at the Racecourse in this century. On May 30, 2004, Canada lost a friendly to Wales by 1-0. The starting 11 was Onstad, Imhof, Watson, De Vos, Jazic, Hume, Hutchinson, De Guzman, Brennan, Radzinski & De Rosario. https://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/friendlies/match/75033--wales-vs-canada/ blueseeka, narduch, GasPed and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a friendly, a four game window seems like a lot for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 England plays Australia in a friendly. Now why can't we get a game vs England? Mind you the last time we played them we lost Tomori. So best to keep LDF under wraps for now. johnyb and YorkRegionFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe we could argue Radz was comparable to David back then, but that's probably a stretch, no? Was Stalteri playing midfield for us in those days? If so maybe we could say he was comparable to Eustaquio? Big maybe for me though and probably not the best comparison anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
