narduch Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Was listening to Footy Prime podcast and Craig Forrest said that the CSA has asked FIFA and Vic Montagliani for help in finding a replacement opponent. This was near the end of the Friday episode. They also mentioned that Herdman was in England dealing with a personal issue Edited May 30, 2022 by narduch Addona, Unnamed Trialist, Cadeau and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot find time to listen to podcasts and there is so little print media (digital or traditional) related to this sport we love in Canada. It feel like being a kid again, straining to hear the radio for draft or trade deadline hockey tidbits. Sometimes, it is like we have gone back in time. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a select few of 3-4 that I listen to regularly but (except for one) they are not soccer related. There is big void in print media for sure. I know that there some good podcasts out there that i would like to listen to but I haven't bothered listening to them.

I don't think FIFA will fine us. Honestly friendlies are cancelled all the time. Do people think Argentina is in trouble for backing out of a friendly in Israel? Lmfao no way. Now that they made it look like this was a players decision we should be safe. Iran isn't getting that $10 million either.

There's a Swoop flight that leaves Toronto at 4:15, if they can clear customs, the lads can be in Nashville to play the Vanderbilt women for a 9pm kickoff. They said they'll have 8 there for sure and maybe a keeper." Vancouver Fan, Kusch to the Corner and SpursFlu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally McCoist Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Just thought everybody should know, according to my thorough research, San Marino will not be available for friendlies as they have 3 Nations League matches this upcoming window. Disappointing, to say the least. narduch and ssk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkRegionFan Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The lack of media coverage for the CMNT is disappointing and frustrating. I end up having to search on Twitter or just refresh the page on this board, hoping for any tidbit of news. Cadeau, narduch and Ivan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 It's good to hear that at least some invitations were made, but I'd be shocked if they actually find anything. They had so much prep time for this window and the best they could come up with was Iran. It's a shame that a sell out at BC Place is likely to be wasted. canucksfan and Mattd97 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I wonder if they're on the hook for that date with BC Place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerkick Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 What's disappointing is teams who aren't event going to Qatar, ie Paraguay, have good friendlies lined up this window. They're playing Japan, S Korea, and Mexico. I know Bolivia has been mentioned but they're a weak side outside of La Paz. Addona 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the local junior hockey team invites the boy to a practice and they sing happy birthday and give him a cake in Battleford North Stars orange and black Halloween colours. And the reject parents, who don't even know their kid has no social skills, tell CTV it was his best birthday ever. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're playing Japan, S Korea, and Mexico. I know Bolivia has been mentioned but they're a weak side outside of La Paz. There's a good reason for that though (well, one of the good reasons). South Korea, Japan and Mexico all have (or in the case of Japan, are likely to have) South American teams in their groups. They would each want to play against a similar style opponents rather than just the usual teams from Asia or Concacaf they are accustomed to playing. Paraguay is a good fit for that, especially as they don't have to play any South American Nations League games (since there is no such thing). The teams that will mostly likely want to play us are the teams that have the US in their group. Right now, the only two other teams are England, who will be busy playing such slouches as Germany and Italy, and....Iran. cornerkick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
