I'm just making a joke based on his own post about the Tibetan monk that lit himself on fire to protest the Vietnam war

Yeah Bison just explained. It read pretty badly without knowing the context. Even if it's a joke, you guys can be pretty agressive towards him (you can see RS isn't letting up, for example), so it's not like joking with your buddy, if you know what I mean.

Either way, let's move on now. Big game in a few hours. Let's all be happy we get to see the boys (that goes for you too SpursFlu lol).

[Shway]

It’s probably safe to say that through this protest, the boys don’t rate playing at BC Place and if the friendlies were scheduled in Toronto they would’ve played the friendly 

3…2…1….gooooo 😂

Mabe I'll just take up fishing. Is that still allowed?

Not Vaccinated? is that still a thing?

Yep!

It surprises me how many people are unaware that's still in effect.

7 million Canadians

Interesting how Room wasn't one of the 6 players mentioned. Maybe those 6 are being left behind due to other issues. Perhaps they have a Visa issue? Not uncommon in concacaf.

Go Canada go!!

10pm here in the UK up at 330am to cheers the lads on!

The tweet comments said they weren't vaccinated and couldn't enter.

Why doesn't anyone think of the fish?

Didn't see the full tweet. Thanks

Well then, I guess this is how Canada concacafs, eh? Lol

I just looked thru this last group of messages and couldn't help but think.. what is the context of this conversation for the people who claim to have muted my comments? They must think I burned myself alive along with a bunch of fish or something?

And that is where I read someone opined they weren't important players, while another said that there was one there who is key. But just one of 6: it will still be their stronger squad.

I also think, after their last win, that they realise they can go first in the group with a result against us.

Maybe because I see all the issues and it is all too reminiscent of my own country's issues from 8 years ago in Brazil. Canada is going down that same path or it looks like they are and because of that it is starting to sour me on this team real fast.

I think you missed my point, but I don't have a real beef with you. We're all good.

I already tried outside of BC Place this afternoon but it's raining 

Sorry to disappoint 

Self-immolation has never been a productive outdoor pastime out here!

I hope the boys see tonight as a statement game. Curaçao is no pushover, but with the labour dispute fresh in everyone's mind, an excellent effort and a convincing performance would probably make their demands a bit harder to refuse.

Looks like it'll be just as packed tonight as it was back then!

[Obinna]

A convincing win tonight will push the issue to the fringes, where it belongs. However, if we play poorly it's going to linger in the forefront.

I agree, there’s everything to gain by having a good showing.  Not securing a result would just give more fuel to the dumpster fire the past 2-3 weeks have been.  This is the last game on home soil before Qatar.

Sportsnet did not pick the game up?
