David Buchanan Is the team Scaloni Aimar , Ayala and Walter Samuel are expecting from Canada and the one they practised in the camp Sure...because Argentina is expecting the Shaff to terrorize them. I'm pretty sure the Argentina coaches have a firmer grip on reality than you do. 🙄 jonovision and JAVIERF 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find Caldwell's game colour commentary more inane than his "analysis". Relies on clichés like: "he should have done better there", "you have to hit the target from there", "he'll be disappointed with that", etc. As for their analysis, it's fine. It's all just fluff anyways. 30mins devoted to "How do you stop Messi?" or "How does Canada beat Argentine?" is going to be nonsense anyways. If anyone had the answer, Argentina would not be #1.

There are cliche commentators everywhere. In their analysis, their tendency to talk over each other and any third host when they get "excited" would probably be weeded out in a lot of other broadcasts. My two cents.

MtlMario Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I do not know how it is in the rest of Canada but so far here in MTL all I've seen are European flags, no Canada or South American flags.

There's a big drop off in levels after the top 4/6 teams and the Gold Cup is becoming a tournament for 2nd tier squads at least for the top 4. So this is the only high level competition available. From a marketing, infrastructure and profitability perspective having it in the US is also desirable.

I hope I can make this point without sounding xenophobic: anyone settling in to a match with Caldwell on colour who hasn't heard him speak before will spend several seconds wondering what language he is speaking before beginning to decipher his accent. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, we can thank the media for a generation now hyping up the Euros while almost ignoring the Copa America/Gold Cup. All of the Copa America matches being televised on Canadian cable is still a relatively new thing. I remember in the early 90s, coverage of the Euros was almost non-existent. So you really did not see all the flag waving you see today. It wasn't until TSN televised the entire '96 tournament when things started to change.

Thank you for the compliment but I don't think I'd use that word to describe you. There is however a plethora of adjectives to describe your takes on here.

I don't think the Gold Cup can ever become a big event here. I think the Copa can become bigger. TSN showing it last time was a start. TSN showing it this time with Canada in it is the next step. But if the Copa drops back to "South America only", I think it will drop back (here) in importance. johnyb, JAVIERF and Kadenge 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
