Shway Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Why Austria and not a place like England? Selfish reasons for myself, as I would have double the reason to visit my brother…but I wonder what goes into the decision making. Is it cheaper?

Watchmen Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I think "not top 5 in CONMEBOL" is also a bit misleading in terms of quality. I mean, it's factually accurate this cycle, but outside of Venezuela (always) or Bolivia (away from home), all the teams tend to be fairly strong these days.

I would think so especially if the game won’t draw a crowd. No reason to use a large stadium; can just play at an Austrian or Spanish facility/resort that hosts preseason friendlies all the time.

The CSA clearly wants to filter out fans like you who think Austria is 2nd rate. Ally McCoist, Shway and king1010 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approve My Account Pls Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 8 minutes ago, narduch said: So out of the top 15 the non UEFA teams are Brazil, Argentina, USA, Uruguay. Not USA. Argentina and Brazil have to play each other for FIFA qualifying redo for that prior abandoned match, could possibly be one of those. Uruguay are ranked 13, let's be real there's already been smoke for this one and if it was Brazil or Argentina he would be saying top 5 not top 15.

EJsens1 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 A Paraguay/Uruguay window would be solid competition. I don’t put much stock into the region they’re from not matching up to our group opponents argument. You know, that old cliché! As long as they are quality opponents, that’s what matters. Playing teams in neutral setting doesn’t prepare you that much for the pressure you’ll face on the biggest stage. We have high talent and good depth. It will be about executing on the big stage, luck and health. Obinna, gigi riva, Approve My Account Pls and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 The Guays should not be our first step. We should have started with the stans. Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, krygyzstan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Or the lands. Iceland, Switzerland, Greenland, England, Deutschland.

YorkRegionFan Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 The onus is on the CSA leadershsip to get the contract with the players sorted out asap. We cannot afford to screw up our preparation if the players walk out again. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paraguay seems to have done various stages and windows over the years in the Tyrol. Thing is, by late September you don't need to train in the hills or mountains. I'd be hard pressed to get to the 27th match, though could as I could get the Wednesday off, but 24th on a Saturday works better. Though I would prefer shorter travel from Vienna. Folks should realize that travel to the Tyrol could be closer to Venice, which has cheap low-cost options, if near Salzburg then Múnich is closer. Vienna is in the east of Austria. All have decent low-cost flights and accommodation that is pricey. Edited July 12, 2022 by Unnamed Trialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
