leekoo Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Tonight we looked nervous, unsure. We looked disjointed, we looked like we hadn't play together in a while. - Frank Yallop We couldn't get the ball and keep control of the ball. They're very quick and they put us under a lot of pressure. - midfielder Josh Simpson Canada missed their striker. Guatemala's striker didn't miss until it was long over. The Canadian national men's soccer team looked lost and listless Talk To Yallop Toll Free Saturday August 21 On Inside Soccer Talk Radio Get Details Here: http://soccer.loop48.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1746 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadasBest Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Someone needs to press him on his player selection. Particularly Watson!!! It's our god-given right as fans to be back-seat coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ed Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Or lack of player selection in the case of Brennan and Nsaliwa. Unfortunately I will be driving through the mountains at the appointed time, not a good time to get excited on your cell. Hope to hear some good questions when I get back a week from now.

Lord Bob Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I'll be giving Yallop a call, I'm sure. EDIT: I just noticed that Alexi Lalas, president of the San Jose Earthquakes, is also on the program that day. Maybe I could ask him if Onstad's as big a choker for them as he is for us.

nolando Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Don't forget about this one guys. I just called and they told me that Yallop will be on at 4:40 Pacific. BTW is everybody getting that link to work?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Thanks anyways, Nazz. Dumb luck! I even tried to listen to their archives, with no success. At least I know it's not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 BTW, Nazz, I love how CChamp remarked in complete surprise how one of us (namely you, chief) actually had a gfriend and a car. A real-life Voyageur success story. Too funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I'm in!! Must have been their technical problem. I am planning to ask about Brennan, Jet lag and "home field" advantage if they don't cut me off. Let's get our shots in while we can. Don't count on Dobson and Frank's buddy Craig to ask the hard questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 They have another guest on at 5:00 so Frank must be on for twenty minutes max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Georgio Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Thanks Nolando! I disagree about not playing Brennan, and choosing Simpson over him. Something is wrong with the rational if your choosing Watson for experience and your choosing Simpson for playing strong yet has little experience in comparison to Brennan. Too bad you couldn't ask about Nsaliwa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 He said that he had maybe two players ahead of Brennan and didn't sound very impressed with him in Kingston. Crazy! Also prefers Vancouver over other venues by all accounts. The hosts mentioned our posts on the board, must have had a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highburygooner Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 well done nolando. the brennan rationale sounds dubious. slightly off topic, ipswich town say their bone scans of JDV's leg show no fracture and don't know what the CSA docs are talking about. apparently had one of his best games in an ITFC shirt so far too...now that stings!

Didn't it NOT show up on one scan so they had to do a more in-depth on (in Vancouver)? Now WHY the hell does he prefer Vancouver to another venue, by far?

highburygooner Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 from an independent supporters site: http://ipswichtown.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=911&p=2&stid=8357086 Jason De Vos played despite being sent back from international duty by Canada after a scan revealed a hairline fracture. However, Royle says Town's own scans have failed to show the injury: "We cannot see the stress fracture that the Canadian FA can see, but there is deep bone bruising. "Jason was terrific. He won't be risked on Tuesday [brentford in the Carling Cup] but we can't rest too many because we have not got that many players." at least they're resting him midweek...gives us a better shot at having him in edmonton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 bloody he**. Some overzealous Canadian radiologist imagined he saw a fracture, thereby (most likely) effectively eliminating Canada from the WC. Now with so many immigrant doctors, watch and see if the "Canadian doc" who made the diagnosis wasn't originally from Guate. That would just tear it. Paranoid? Who me? Nah, just comes with the territory if you follow Canadian soccer for any length of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Georgio Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 How was it expressed about the venue? I stopped listening as soon as he discounted Nolando's show of displeasure for Swangard for the last game. Nolando worded it perfectly by stating that he lives in the area, would love to watch the Nats play regularly but just couldn't understand under the circumstances with long flights and the fact that Guats were a huge presence why this venue was preferable, and asked if Yallop still believes it so. I don't ermember what Yallop said or why I tuned him out. I have no problem with Swangard being one of many venues. I have a problem with Yallops obvious skirting of what is obvious. Vancouver is no more a perfect location then any other in Canada for the National Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
