I shudder to think what would happen if we played them on the streets... Now you are getting it. Ask the Aussies or the kiwis when they played there, we have done it on regular basis every four years . Remember Reyna circa 1985 with Maradona, and the Chilean GK Rojas in Rio de Janeiro when he cut his face to get them out for Italy 1990. They are trying to masquerade the beautiful game into a farce.

JAVIERF Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 You are entitled to feel optimistic,I wish you can even win the Cup all the way, I will cheer you ! but the truth is those teams are brutal, streetwise brutal, you can place a camera up to their arses and eventually they will get the better of you. Playing all out attack is wrong. Not playing the 2nd string team Vs Argentina it is also a mistake. The last time I checked a team without a strong midfield strategy defeated you at home and sent you to a play- off with T and T. Let be serious, Canada goal is to remain undefeated after 3 matches, if that gets you up to 2nd round then the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mock about the streetwise jibe all you want, the truth is not being a streetwise eleven against streetwise footballers ( and people as well) is a drawback. Your team can't cope with that, you can't buy that in a store, it's like being pregnant for instance for a gal, you are or aren't pregnant , daisy. That's what happened in the last world cup, you pushed the tree but no fruits came down then quickly and the belge 1-0 and game over. Reason? Streetwise footballers. Croatia the same , started and the croats schooled ya big time. Even the Mexicans almost got a result in the refrigerator you placed in the qualies to get ya the upper hand, after you went 2-0. Mock all you want, Canada and this group of footballers can't be streetwise overnight. Playing Peru is like wanted to be an actor like Robert De Niro without knowing your craft as a thespian and being a truck driver Say what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longlugan Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Only thing vast on you is your ego. Otherwise you don't have a clue. Feel free to keep spewing your version of football knowledge. At the very least you are entertaining. maplebanana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chile has always been a odd / conterversial country when it comes world football , from all of what you said plus 1962 vs Italy, and if I recall wasnt there a incident in a COPA 2015 the one Chile hosted where a Chiliean player touched Edison C avani in a weird spot Edited June 3 by gigi riva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mostly because of his absolute lack of vast football knowledge. It just didn't feel streetwise enough for me. 🙄 That's because you didn't grow up in Barracas or Moreno like Javier did. Javier picked up his streetwise philosophy in the villas. He's the Shaft of Argentina. Can ya dig it?

Everything was going well in our game against Chile until Alexis Sanchez pulled an untimely switchblade on Mathieu Choiniere in the 64th minute and it pretty much unraveled from there.

Bigandy Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I'm all for different opinions.... even the most wild ones. But at some point, it feels a bit much to let a poster constantly generalize everyone based on nationalities. Of course to say that certain national teams play a certain way is one thing, but this Javierf guy is too much. longlugan and JAVIERF 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigandy let me tell you, maybe you are an Eric Hobsbawm fan as it seems to me, " the end of nationalisms" theory is hot up there of course since the global village concept was developed in Canada You see good old Eric, He views nationalism as a bourgeois ideological construct, whose "popular" dimension is limited to linguistic, ethnic and cultural solidarities. I say football it happens as the way you live it is a part of the culture of your people and welfare, public policies and social amenities. I mean you play football as how your society is built throughout. You play the beautiful game the way your people live and reacts. How they get frustrated and what makes them happy. The more your society is equally established the more chances you have to win the WC. Check the last winners, with a lot of problems Greece, Spain, Brazil and Argentina got big, big trophies and Croatia was near a few times. Culture, football , politics and social stratification they all form a sense of togetherness on behalf of football.

JAVIERF Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 In other words We wouldn't have won three world cups, without the third way (Labourism/ Peronism). We even placed a guy in the Vatican because of the third way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
