jonovision Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 A bit nit-picky, but "Canada’s U-20 team which recently finished fourth at the World Cup in Spain" actually finished fourth by losing in the semi-final to Spain, in the tournament played in UAE. I know I'm right about the UAE part, and the Spain match was a semi, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildboutCdnScr Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 Didn't we crash out in the quarterfinals? I didn't think we finished fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 We didn't lose to Spain in the semifinals, it was the quarterfinals. Hence, we finished between 5th and 8th, not 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 It was unseasonably cold in Edmonton yesterday, wwwwwwasn't it? Probably due to the PR director's shivering into the dictaphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
