Obinna Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 55 minutes ago, red card said: As per TheyScored, the Prem (also tops Euros) & MLS are tied for most players at Copa America. 41 - Premier League 41 - MLS 35 - Liga MX 35 - Serie A 28 - La Liga 23 - Serie A 20 - Primera División (Bolivia) 16 - Primera División (Argentina) 16 - Liga FPD (Costa Rica) 13 - EFL Championship 13 - Primeira Liga (Portugal) By club, it is more of the clubs in tier 2 or lower leagues making their presence. Top Canadian club is CFM with 4. CFM is also tied with Minnesota as top MLS club. 9 - Bolívar 7 - Deportivo Saprissa 7 - Club América 5 - Herediano 5 - Fulham 5 - Libertad (Paraguay) 5 - FC Porto 5 - Flamengo 5 - Always Ready (Bolivia) 5 - Universitario (Peru) Very cool mix of club and league representation.

Watchmen Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 1 hour ago, dyslexic nam said: This is why I am not worried about the Davies vs Staq captaincy issue. It was only Herdman who let the players determine it on the field depending on who was "feeling it". Good coaching will involve making sure the players know what is expected re PKs, free kicks, corners, etc. Eliminating those sorts of on-field decisions means that Davies' role as captain will be limited to interacting with the ref and leading by example. I think the concern is that Davies at times seems to try to "do too much", and that this tendency might be exasperated by being made captain. You're right, good coaching can give players clearly defined roles, something I think Herdman failed to do at times with the top players especially going forward. We'll see how it goes. dyslexic nam, Obinna, Sal333 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way Davies gets his stock at least back up is to ball out during Copa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Be interesting to see how the grass on top of turf will hold up in our game vs Argentina. They did something similar at the then Skydome for a Brazil v Chile friendly. Parts of the field started to roll up, but generally it didn't affect the game much. Could it be an advantage for Canada?

shermanator Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 TSN has been really ramping up their content around the national team and putting out some great pieces leading up to Copa America. I guess when they hold the rights to the national team in a big tournament they can cover more than just the off field drama. It's nice to see. narduch, Ivan, dyslexic nam and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't actually be rolling out sod like you do when you change the lawn in your backyard, though, would they? They'd have a series of deep pallets with mature grass already rooted, then those pallets would be brought in and laid out to form the pitch. The grass should be fine for us, as we're the first game. The subsequent games might be worse, depending on how the grass survives inside over days and weeks. Canuckia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
