WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I know it's strategic and it could happen naturally in other formats but don't like the guarantee that you will face someone in your group in the semis - ie us and Argentina - if you both keep winning. footballfreak, Free kick, narduch and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Both racing for fitness as I mentioned but Gray for sure thinks he will be there “It’s good to be back; I was disappointed that I missed the World Cup qualifiers, but I’m happy the boys got the six points. I am glad to be back with the boys and excited for this tournament, Edited June 22 by WestHamCanadianinOxford Canuckia and Kadenge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kacbru Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 18 hours ago, 74 Whitecap said: The difference between the two sides is just that Chile has more movement and ideas and creativity going forward which makes them more dangerous, whereas Peru doesn't have much offensive creativity, just looking for set pieces and corners to generate chances So you are saying our next game is against Canada circa early 2010s? 74 Whitecap and sose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is exactly who they reminded me of against Chile, getting forward in workmanlike fashion on occasion, but not much idea what to do with the ball once they got into the final third.

Can I ask you to consider something. We just got to see two takes: one attempt at emotion that came off as silly from someone who at least fancies himself an academic and one very reasonable - not just emotional - ie. "boo! Racist! - but a succinct good point, from a guy that is on the platform as a footballer. The first guy probably has other ways to present his message, ones where the subject of it - a member of a football team - would not be around to respond. I think conversions to his cause are probably easier in those situations. I am happy for bad ideas to be out in an open forum where they can be shown to be bad ideas. Just my opinion.

I took a lot of philosophy in university and have always agreed with this idea. Scrutiny is the best weapon against dumb or destructive ideas. I don’t think it is entirely black and white (*cough*) because lots of otherwise good people often choose to say nothing whereas assholes often seem to be disproportionately vocal, but on a fundamental level I agree that exposing bad commentary (including bigotry) to public scrutiny is generally a good thing.

Cadeau Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Also people try to be overly controversial and contrarian on social media where getting attention is the ultimate currency. Gotta take it with a grain of salt. The internet and media doesn’t represent the world accurately.

red card Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 “Canada is a diverse country,” Davies said. “(Bombito) having to deal with that, we just want to get the message out that he’s not alone. He has the support of his teammates, of his friends, his brothers. And now we’re here for him. That has nothing to do with football.” “The fact that in this day and age, this is still something that exists is really awful,” Marsch said. “But I’m learning more and more about what it is to be Canadian. And I think what these guys feel is that their differences make them stronger and their backgrounds and their unique stories are what really brings them together.” “I think they’re really interested and unified by their diversity,” Marsch said. “So if anyone’s looking to poke the bear with this kind of stuff, I think there’s strength, there’s belief there’s support and there’s disgust for the way that some people act. But it won’t change the resolve that the players have and the commitment they have to each other.” kingvikingstad, PegCityCam, gator and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
