Guest Can. in UK Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I seem to remember some people (maybe just Luis) suggesting Emilio Bottiglieri deserved a call-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 It wasn't said to me personally, but I do recall someone posting on these boards that the Goverment should reduce the funding & budget to our national team, as that way it would force them & the CSA to improve. How they were expected to improve with even less sufficient funding was never explained, un-surpisingly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can recall, this 'cut funding until they improve theory' smells like the highly nuanced position of the now exiled soccerbeast.* *Colour added as an hommage of sorts to this once ferile poster.

PaulLeH Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Quite a lot of people sadly said: Wow. I didn't realise they played football/soccer in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 My favourite was when G-Man trotted out this little nugget re. why Toronto's large immigrant population will not support MLS: "Toronto is not a soccer market. There is a reason all those people left football nations to settle in Canada: They don't like the sport." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a "take" on the comment attributed to I think Jack Kent Cooke who was lamenting the fact that despite all the Canadians in and around Los Angeles the Kings were attracting "flies". They left Canada because they hated hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
