Daniel Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 So we know of Austria and the States, but Canada is expected to play some WC-bound teams in the leadup to the tournament. On IS, a French guy is reporting that France have approached Canada (among many other countries) for a possible friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurosawa1555362267 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Bleus : Trois matchs amicaux en plus de la Slovaquie mardi 13 décembre 2005 - 19 h 33 La Fédération française de football (FFF) a annoncé mardi que les Bleus disputeront trois matchs amicaux de préparation au Mondial 2006 en plus de celui déjà conclu contre la Slovaquie le 1er mars 2006. Outre le match amical contre la Slovaquie programmé le 1er mars 2006, la FFF a annoncé mardi que les Bleus disputeront trois autres matchs amicaux de préparation au Mondial 2006. La Fédération est actuellement en discussions avec huit pays, la Jamaïque, le Mexique, le Danemark, le Paraguay, la Finlande, le Canada, la Chine et le Japon pour finaliser ces trois rencontres dont une devrait avoir lieu le samedi 27 mai au Stade de France et les deux autres en Province à des dates à déterminer.

loyola Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 That would be pretty nice to see our MNT against France. I think a good performance would help the fan base in Quebec, where I think our MNT has few supporters. It would be nice for Canada to play at least 4 or 5 friendlies before the WC start. I think african countries could be a good option since their crowds look like the central americans crowd that we have to face in WCQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bxl Boy Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I know France asked Belgium to organize a mini-tournament with 4 teams in the beginning of June I don't know if Canada is involved in that plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a good performance would help the fan base in Quebec, where I think our MNT has few supporters. Our MNT has few supporters ANYWHERE in Canada. If the CSA would actually bother to play in Québec from time to time, they'd get support as good as anywhere else, but I think it's that mentality which is keeping them from doing so. Why else would you avoid the most performing Canadian soccer city? When Canada played here last (a bunch of friendlies), they've had great support, including 12k at Molson for a Brazil friendly.

nolando Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 quote:Originally posted by aussoccerfan I heard a rumor that there will be a game in St. John's NFLD next August. Sounds good! Would that be part of a twentieth anniversary gala? Would kind of make sense. You could certainly put on quite a show. Hard to argue that the Atlantic Canadians (not to mention the 86 vets) don't deserve a tribute match of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game would likely be played in London. As for Montreal, why not bring in Haiti to test the waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Because you might be caught with a "problem" game right off the bat which could "justify" Montreal's further exclusion. Unless it is a grand gala for charity, it could lead to trouble (the organizers of the last Cup of Montreal in 2001 haven't repeated the experiment...) and would provide a very pro-Haiti crowd.
