TGAA_Star Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Honestly to me at this point, it doesn't matter where we play. As long as we can get fans into the stadium 🏟 and restrictions are somewhat lifted by next month, then I don't care where we play. I mean do I want the game in Toronto? Yeah of course because I'm from here but if it isn't, I'm not going to cry over it. Just as long as I can get to watch them play, that's all I care about.

JAVIERF Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) The main reason I could stand for Vancouver is streetwise sense since you are gonna play later than the rest of nations so you are gonna have a sporting advantage from time zone. For cultural meaning and logistical sense it has to be Montreal in my opinion. For scoundrels due to results Vancouver.

shorty Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Although I would like Vancouver for selfish reasons (easy game to attend), I don’t think Herdman changes his game plan based on knowing the results elsewhere. His MO seems to be ”how do we win this game?” as opposed to settling for a draw or resting players because we don’t need to / aren’t likely to win. h coach, Shway and TGAA_Star 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueseeka Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 At this point, I would be shocked if it wasn't BMO. Same travel exists as last time. They only care about qualifying at this point. And even with the shorter travel from Hamilton (as opposed to BC) they were still sluggish during the El Salvador game. That is a lot of travel and games in a 6 day period Shway, Califax and TGAA_Star 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area codes for Toronto (BMO Field) are 416, 647 and 437. Hamilton's (Tim Hortons Field) are 905, 289, 365 and 742. That's seven right there! (This is a joke for anyone not paying attention.

narduch Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I`m wondering if the CSA got word that the World Cup draw will revert back to the old format and will be regional again. It may explain the Vancouver rumour as gunning for Pot 3 may no longer be necessary. TGAA_Star and Yoho 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some people on here have ptsd from the 90s or something I mean, it happened at the opening whistle of the El Salvador game this cycle. We've changed our attitude about getting into the stadium early because of it. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markoaleks Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 V’s it is very simple re location choice - wherever the team wants to play they will play - so don’t tie our collective selves into knots or hot takes re the game location. Perfect campaign so far driven by many factors and would like to think the home games locations have been factors thus far Collective chill needed Corazon, Greatest Cockney Rip Off, mowe and 7 others 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) ^ Fair enough, I guess. But with there being no do-or-die games in the next 5 years (unless you're a big Nations League guy) there's no excuse not to start spreading the matches around the country after March.

I worry that now that our profile is increasing that the games will need to be mostly on grass-so BMO Sure we can force CONCACAF teams to play on turf sometimes but no top 50 side will come here voluntarily to play on turf. World Cups (both men and women now) have to be on grass. That means the pool of games/opponents available to sites other than Toronto and Edmonton (not sure if they are converting soon or just bringing in grass for 2026) will be limited.

Wherever the boss puts the game, I will 100% trust and support, his attention to detail is world class.

Team Canada Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Remember when the complaining was - why can't we be competitive in Concacaf? Can we make a WC outside of being a host or where USA/Mexico gets in because of a "host" spot, and opens up a Concacaf spot (hence 1986, and being within one game in 94)....."why are there so many "visiting fans" at all of our "home" games"...... Now we complain that all the games are not in locations that are amenable to many fans who want to support CANADA soccer?! ---- this is a good issue to have frankly, and if this is our biggest problem these days, this is literally the best it's ever been for CANADA MNT soccer interest in this country at the moment....can't we just enjoy this moment in our history -- it will never be this pure again - as after this cycle, qualification will be assumed and the weight of expectations to perform well at the WC will be upon us - and then people will complain about that.....yeesh.....
