beachesl Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Does anyone have an update on what Canada's MNT are doing now? A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. -- Winston Churchill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I can tell you that Canada's training camp starts July 2nd in Ontario, before moving down to the US a few days before the Gold Cup begins. You have to wonder how many players are going to be available for the whole camp though, especially with some European pre-seasons starting earlier than I had expected, and with some other players in the middle of their Scandinavian league season. It will be interesting (to say the least) to see who gets called & is able to make it. Even the wolf can learn. Even the sheep can turn. Even the frog can become at last the prince. - Peter Hammill, Over (1977) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massive Attack Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 The training camp will probably be at Nottawasaga INN near Alliston in Ontario (just a guess). I think a lot of the Euro leagues are starting earlier this year because of Euro 2004 ------------------------- "I'm going to buy a gun and start a war, If you can tell me something worth fighting for" A Rush of Blood To The Head - Coldplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Yeah, I've heard Nottawasaga as well. I wonder if we will have a 23 man roster as well (like the Jamaicans & Mexicans have announced).

Massive Attack Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 I stayed at the Nottawasaga Inn one winter for a weekend getaway. There's a soccer field right out in front of it, next to Highway 89. I guess its a nice little retreat for the players to train there. ------------------------- "I'm going to buy a gun and start a war, If you can tell me something worth fighting for" A Rush of Blood To The Head - Coldplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
