Free kick Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 the quote from Alex Ferguson:"We'd have to give Ronaldo two-months off when he returns so we wouldn't have him until November. It's ridiculous," I don't understand this at all . Why can't the player(s) in question play the same week that they return. Or a week later if they are a little tired. I have been hearing more and more of these stories. Example, about a week or two ago I read on the La louviere web page that Kluka was ready to train with the team after his stint in WCQ. The WCQ match was in June!!! and I am at a total loss why it must take 2 months. Are the clubs trying to punish the players!!!!! Anyone have an answer?

Free kick Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Jeffrey S. No bloody way Saviola should have been called, and he should decline. He is missing the entire Barcelona pre-season, will end up being like two months with Argentina, and who's paying his salary? Saviola is well-liked here, but if he doesn't react to this one the tide could turn against him. Minimum committment to your club. But would the fans feel the same if it were Carles Puyol, Iniesta, Gabri or any other player off to represent spain intead of Argentina? You have to say: "Yes". or it would be hyprocritical to hold it against Saviola for wanting to represent his country but have double standard when it comes to domestic players. Admit it, the problem is not that barca is losing a key player, its that he is off to represent another national side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free kick Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Last night, Radio Canada showed some highlights of the soccer games including Arg-Aus. One of the goals that Argentina Scored was one for the highlight reels whereby several players touched the ball leading up to it. Their team sounds very similar to the Copa squad.

canso Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Some wild results on the last day of the group stage, especially in Group D where Los Ticos beat Portugal 4-2, after the Portugese were up by 2-1 late. That fourth goal lets Costa Rica into the second round, but in Group B , Ghana knocked out by Japan , who had nothing to play for, and Paraguay end up topping the group after beating Italy 1-0. Must suck to be Portugese though! QF Draw Mali vs Italy - Argies vs Ticos Korea vs. Paraguay - Iraq vs. Aussies Let's hope Iraq gets into the semis!That should get some coverage on the mainstream at least!

Ronaldo didn't play many more minutes for Portugal this summer than some of his players played for Man United in PRE-season during the same time. Anywho, the quarterfinal matches look to be a real bore. Olympics are over for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're no pushovers ... No, it's not the same team. From what I can tell, there is only one player common to both rosters. The big factor here is that Iraq's Olympic roster is almost exactly the same as their Asian Cup roster. This team has been together for over one month, playing competitive matches against decent, non-youth opponents. I doubt that any of the other teams had anywhere near that amount of preparation for the Olympics. This isn't meant to take anything away from Iraq. What they manage to do despite their situation puts Canada to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJT Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 soccerTV.com says that both semifinals will be broadcast by TSN. But TSN's schedule also lists baseball and boxing for that afternoon, and there isn't enough time to get everything in, so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free kick Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Vancouver Fan Will there be any television for the Italy/Argentina match? I am watching it on TSN right now. Tape delayed of course. No point in watching though. I have a feeling from this game that something has gone wrong in Italian soccer. You can accept the loss to Korea in the WC as a one off. But then Euro 2000 and now this. Granted, they got this far and of course, I haven't seen the earlier matches in this tournament but 3-0!, sheez, and the goals that I saw from Argentina were really not hard fought goals. Can't blame Trap for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Bronze medal match (August 27): Italy 1 Iraq 0 Gilardino 8' Match was shown on TSN at 6 PM EDT on Friday. quote:Originally posted by Free kick I am watching it on TSN right now.

Can't blame Trap for this one. Just got around to reading this. I didn't see the game, but what concerns me more is their other results, not this one. Argentina has an amazing team at this tournament (quite close to their full senior team), and their record (5 wins out of 5 matches, 16 GF, 0 GA) shows it. I thought Argentina would win 2-0 or 3-0. Gold medal match, Argentina vs. Paraguay, live on TSN at 3 PM EDT on Saturday. Argentina fans are going to have problems deciding what to watch as their basketball gold medal final against Italy is live on CBC at 3:30 PM EDT. The silver medal that Paraguay have already assured themselves is the country's first-ever Olympic medal in any sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the football Gold medal game is at 3 AM</u> EDT, not PM. Ouch! At least there's no conflict with the b-ball game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Holy cow, I didn't realize that. What a strange time for a match, let alone the final. But TSN's Web site still shows that they will broadcast the match Saturday afternoon. And right before they showed Italy vs. Iraq on Friday evening I'm pretty sure the anchor said that they would show the final live on Saturday at 3 PM. So who screwed up, them or me?
