If you can't see the difference then **** off. Why can't i be both? sorry i wont stand and let things go as you lot have since 1986, we have not come close to the world cup since and will be quite awhile before we go again. we play in a weak region so getting to the world cup should be easy, but we always make thing difficult if not impossible.

Even you could admitt that more Canadian fans should have beaten the Guates to Ticketmaster. It was close to 50/50 and it could (should) have been 70/30.

soccerbeast Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 But according to other posts the tickets fot the game in Edmonton are not selling well,12,000 is the best i've seen posted, maybe i'm not the only one who has lost hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak region? Is that why we have almost as many qualifying places as South America. (4.5-3.5) Is that why CONCACAF teams are notorious for getting to the second round of the last few world cups. Soccer is like religion in Central America. Get bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerbeast Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Current Champ South America should get more spots, Their teams are way better then us if you had bothered to watch Copa America you would have found that out. Concacaf should have no more then 2 spots till the teams they do send actually do something at the world cup. like at least make the semis on a regualr basis. and you.

Even you could admitt that more Canadian fans should have beaten the Guates to Ticketmaster. It was close to 50/50 and it could (should) have been 70/30. Sure, but Canadians are Canadians. Plenty of them just walk up to the park on game day thinking they can get tickets. Had the stadium sat 12,500 they would have still filled it, and a lot of Canadians that were left peering through the fence would have been inside watching. It's true that had the CSA done some marketing well before the game instead of heavily marketing the game just days before the match then more Canadians may have bought tickets that ended up going to Guatemalans. As it is we don't have enough people like Nazz to buy up blocks of tickets for the Canadian supporters. I'll also debate that the crowd was 50/50. There were pockets of Guatemalans everywhere and they only stood out because they were all wearing Guatemalan colours. Now we can debate and complain all we want that Canadians should come to the stadium wearing our colours but we haven't got that soccer mentality yet, and it's the same everywhere in Canada, not just fans at Swangard stadium. I still say it was 65% a Canadian crowd. All of this of course means nothing, as I assume when somebody says there was a poor turnout they are not talking about the amount of home support vs away support but the overall crowd size. The game was sold out, hence no poor turnout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerbeast Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Sigma I beg to differ. [^] Actually we were one game away from making the 1994 WC, but we lost at home to Mexico... and then lost out to Australia in the playoffs. I stand corrected....thanks....

soccerbeast Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Sigma Unfortunately that is the only time since 1986 (18 years!) that we have come close to making the WC. I think we could still make it this time if the manager is replaced right away and some players dropped, going with some younger players it's possible, but if we stay with the roster that played Guatemala then goodnight the party is over.

Kudo's Vancouver. If Swanguard only had a second grandstand instead of a parking lot... then you'd be talking Krusty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
