Obinna Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Probably mentioned somewhere by now, but the first person I thought of when I heard the drone news was Herdman. Bev and Herdman have worked closely over the years. I am not saying this is his fault, but can't help but feel their decision around the drone was influenced by years of working with Herdman, who deployed drones to film training for the men. And didn't Honduras accuse Canada of flying drones over their training when we hosted them in Toronto for WCQ, or am I misrembering? I'll say this much: I appreciated that Herdman was a win-at-all-costs kinda guy, who thought outside of the box and deployed all kinds of tools to improve the program. yomurphy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere drones are often used during practice at that level (for your own team, of course). I'd imagine for a national team it would be a way to maximize the data you receive. As for Honduras, they did do so but, and I admit I am obviously biased, considering the amount of shit they pull when we go there and the projection-based defense some of their fans and media offer when its brought up I am not inclined to believe their accusations short of some concrete evidence. Until and unless that come the coincidence of an alignment between Honduras' (probably baseless) accusations and the very real bad stuff we did is to be considered just that.

Because you know the will kill and eat the horse , you can't make footballers from opulence or rich towns like the Hamptons, we have great footballers because or poverty, because of the working clubs , because the social clubs in the neighborhood that they offer different sports and hobbies for its community as it happen in Barcelona, in Ireland in Uruguay in Argentina and in France as well and im many countries too. Where people collect money for funds for the children's to compete, shirts, shoes, ⚽ 🏈 🎾 🤾 🥊 etc etc etc , without society you can't have footballers I'm a capitalist but I support social justice , the richest as Bono sings " the wicked make just so much noise, mother , the righteous stay oddly still , with no wisdom all of the riches in the world leave us poor tonight" , Ave Maria. Or George Best's parents were rich ? Or etc etc The worst crime Is those who come from the bottom of society they forget who they are and who they represent my dear KENT . That's why Peronism/justicialism is so absorbing even though with it's faults because politics are made by people sometimes greedy, it's the third way. England had a justicialist in office, Tony Blair , he couldn't rise up to the occasion Cheers Long live Bielsa !!!

You get butthurt any time anyone challenges your opinions. Your generalizations are so all-encompassing they become laughable. Only poor people/countries can become good players/teams? Really?

You don't have to go so far up to find wolves and bears, I had bears in my suburban backyard in Vancouver as a kid. I block Javier lately as it is a bit much at times.
