Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 12 hours ago, Shway said: 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? Austria has lot of little stadia and training centres. Clubs and national teams regularly go their for preseason / pre-tournament prep. I went last time Canada played in Austria. It was a really good trip and Vienna is a world class city if you can add it to your trip.

As a result, Canada looks forward to playing Suriname in Reykjavik. Those death squads are from Bolivaguay. 1 hour ago, narduch said: He may have good sources but until this is officially announced I still don't trust the CSA So you trust the CSA on matters of player eligibility but not on matters of setting up a friendly match. narduch, PegCityCam and mrtoddcan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I guess this explains why Qatar wasn't an option as a replacement for Iran in June, as I doubt they would be interested in playing Canada twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 That’s fair. I hope the Qatar game is in Qatar so the players can get a taste of playing in like 55 degree weather. Shway and mrtoddcan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We better be getting a fat stack of cash out of this. Actually Qatar is in a group with Netherlands, Ecuador and Senegal, and Uruguay with Portugal, Ghana and South Korea. The friendlies do not directly and clearly benefit any of the three teams if playing style were the consideration. It is just playing two WC teams with solid quality, and in the case of Uruguay some excellence both in defence and offence, and matching ourselves against them, nothing more. johnyb, mrtoddcan, TOcanadafan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpursFlu Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I love the Uruguay game. I think that is probably one of the better teams in the World at the moment. Qatar is useful enough The Beaver 2.0, gigi riva, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
