The Real Marc Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 6 hours ago, costarg said: But the point is, you don't banish someone for asking to excuse himself from one window. It was in the media that Arfield was dealing with family shit at the time he didn't show up for those games. And, more importantly, Arfield was a much bigger and more important piece to CANMNT, than Ugbo is or ever will be. Difference between the two situations is very clear. One coach understands, supports and keeps the door open, while the other lives in extremes and absolutes, while ruling with an iron fist and toy sword. I'm with Marsch. I think that's the point. A vital cog in our team opted out of World Cup Qualifiers that are critical to making the World Cup. In this case, a bit part player opted out of a supplementary tournament that leads to nowhere. The difference is very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) Waterman has to be the luckiest player in the program. Only 3 caps and I’m fairly certain he has been an injury call up now for both the World Cup and Copa America.

MrsC Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 42 minutes ago, shorty said: Hey @MrsC, is there a protocol for listing places for viewing parties? I notice that the latest spot in Victoria since the Yates St Taphouse closed is Darcy's in Langford, which is quite a hike for those of us in town, so I've made inquiries for another potential spot, at least for me and my soccer friends. If it's okay and it looks the Copa games are a go, I can share the details, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes. If there's a protocol that I'm not following, I can keep it offline within our scrimmage group. Let me know. Thanks. There is a group of people that have been working on viewings in Victoria. My understanding is that it has been difficult to find a place in Victoria that will show games on OneSoccer, which is where the majority of games are broadcast. Finding places to show the Copa games is easier because it's on TSN, but I suspect they decided on Darcy's for the Copa games to continue building that relationship. If you think the bar you have in mind would be open to showing all Canada games even when they aren't on TSN, you could connect with @ted to discuss the possibilities of going there in the future.

red card Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Google map of the birthplace of all Copa America players. Canada has the only players born in Africa. Jamaica & USA have most European-born. With the relatively significant South American diaspora, it would be easy to conclude that there would be more squad players born elsewhere. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1TvKVElUjejhPnVzHlBgF9smANcJsbsk&ll=12.19623471993107%2C-55.48986524999998&z=3 Kent, Obinna, nolando and 9 others 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I'm disappointed that LdF is in this squad, as I don't think he'll see the field. I would've preferred for him to be a leader with the U20's, as we are hoping a few players emerge out of that group quickly.

Ottawafan Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Looks like it will be hotter in KC next Tuesday than it was in Qatar. Least we can have a pop or two which helps with the cooling off process. Or so I am led to believe. jhoops__ and dyslexic nam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Pantemis was an injury call up to Montreal which made him an injury call up to the World Cup- at least Waterman had to play his way on!

Kadenge Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Our key players will have to be careful re accumulating cards. I know its great publicity to open vs Argentina but would have preferred to have played them last for several reasons but card accumulation is definitely up there. Players like Bombito, Cornelius, Kone & Staq given their positions and roles are at most risk and their replacements would give me concern if required to start. David is also not replaceable. Tajon & Laryea could fill in for Davies, but he is another player that I would hate to see being replaced.

Unnamed Trialist Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Anyone else find it cool to see the relative quiet on the board a few days before a major match? Most posts are rather peripheral and there's hardly anything substantial. I like these moments when the tension sets in and there's little left to say. Noone has even analyzed the Argentina we're likely to face. Kadenge and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
