Declan Rice was a proud "Irish" kid until England came calling. He supports IRA WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes him Irish. Well, he talks like an Englishman and sure as hell can’t spin a tale like an Irishman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Observer Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 2 hours ago, red card said: don’t enter team functions, even meals, without the seriousness in your demeanour you’d show in the most important game of your life Not sure I agree with this one. For many (me included), walking around all serious all day long for days before a match is counter productive. It creates unnecessary stress and anxiety. You need to be serious but somewhat loose and free to play well. You can be very focused on your task and still be light hearted. This mentality strikes me of 1980s gridiron style coaching. Sure, for a minority it works but for a majority its against their nature. If he is enforcing this, I suspect we will come out all tight, overplay the ball and take needless fouls. Frankly, he needs to create an environment where people are serious but they are allowed to prepare and focus in their own manner which best prepares them for the match ahead.

On the one hand I agree, but given all his additional comments on everyone being so nice and agreeable, it sounds like this is something he feels he needs to counter-balance. Almost as if it's been way too loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckia Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 So, my better half decided to switch cable providers. The hook up was scheduled for Tuesday. After a dispute about the contract agreement, it was rescheduled to Friday and we now have no cable. I have been having flashbacks to when I was an excited little kid waiting to see Evil Kenieval jump the grand canyon and my parents told me the TV was broken. I now have a DD to the Barrie viewing party. Everything worked out swimmingly!🤣 Bison44, dyslexic nam, jhoops__ and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazlo_80 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Im down here with my son. just walking around the city the buzz is real. i'd say based on my observation it's 10-1 argentina to Canada fans but you definitely see red jerseys when you're out and about. and frankly decent turnout considering what i was actually expecting.

JAVIERF Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 In a fair world should be 50/50 some Mexicans folks hate argies because of the European upbringing both argies and Uruguayans obtein, but mexican fans need to understand that only the upper class can and will buy tickets for copa América abroad. Argentina is not an expatriate based country as others around. Most argies reside in Argentina Aird25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ticking off the Euro followers since they're watching for the post-match takes and pre-match hype. Someone noted TSN has no German music and not much time spent showing the sights and sounds in the cities. TSN is following US network strategy of promoting USA! USA! USA! upcoming game at every opportunity. And TSN has been 2-3x promoting Canada at Copa America more than Fox promo for Copa during their Euro coverage. Fox's promos have also been a bit more balanced between Argentina & USA matches.
