Guest Jeffery S. Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I signed up, as this is a great time for me, not too late. If you go to the FAQs and click on the line for testing video quality, they have a long clip of the Austria-Canada game, beginning with 0-0 m. 22 first half, in case anyone wants to warm up before the match. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeta Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Topish of the page, just to the left of the CIBC ad on the right hand side, Canada vs Brazil, click here to sign up. I can no wait. Not expecting nearly as much from the lads this match. Legs have to be really sore, but I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC supporter Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Well, I don't have a ticket for the game. It sold out far fastest than I expected, but I have to work today anyway. You'll be interested in knowing that it's been cool and raining all morning in Victoria. Not a heavy downpour, but a steady drizzle. Conditions will not be good at Centennial.

RS Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Players just came out for pre-game warm-ups. Decent cheer for both squads. It looks miserable out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeffery S. Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I changed this post as I think the pitch is not as bad as I thought. Had problems with the player, went to Ready without playing, followed instructions on Protocol and its back playing again. I don't hear any banter or audio with 20 to go, same for the rest here?

BrennanFan Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I was just at the game. Had a pretty good view from behind the fence behind brazils goal, i was actually closer than the grandstand. No score when i left. Only comments is that its damn foggy, and Peters was the only Canadian doing anything close to what can be described as offence. Edgar made his presence felt too.

Gian-Luca Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I can't say we deserved to win, but that was some of the worst officiating I've ever seen for a (meaningless) U20 friendly. And I though the American Ref on Friday night was bad, we can safely send this Ref back to Mexico, where he can allow all the diving & cheap play that he wants.

youllneverwalkalone Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Before I begin my rant, can anybody confirm 100% that Edgar won't be able to play in Vancouver? If so, this is an absolute tragedy. I don't see why red cards need to carry over. Then again, I don't see why we need a Mexican referee. As Bubbles once said, "Greasy, real greasy."

Guest Jeffery S. Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 That was normal officiating at this level. There is no way we are going to get anything better in an official tournament against Brazil, so live with it. I liked the way we forced them into long balls, into some of our play, by clogging up the middle. Then our defending at the back was very solid for most of the match. I thought we were in control, though not dominating to win, at the half. The goal was a great plus and helped our confidence, and our better minutes came after it, as Brazil also lost a bit of position and we could move forwards more handily. But they kept pushing and some small errors, minor stuff really, made the difference: the Brazilian getting position on the play leading to the penalty (which I insist will be called 80% of the time), the foul, the wall maybe not so good, and the rebound on the 2nd off a free kick, no follow up of the goal scorer (who got lucky to have it bounce right to him), and finally a bit of nerves at the back when thinking about trying to get forwards for the tying goal, I'll forgive Lumley for that one as he was strong all game. Would like to see a bit more midfield play, in the end liked O'Conner, most of the back line in fact with him, Nuñez in the 2nd half, Peters in the 2nd too, and Lombardo.

redhat Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Poor sportsmanship, similar to the Rivaldo-type dives during WC, marred the last 20 minutes of the match. The Mexican ref didn't help as he was very inconsistent, failing to call fouls and yellows while calling ones against us. We should be used to these type of refs (CONCACAF), and these series should expose our team to the high level it needs to compete. Let's just say I won't be cheering for Brazil in the WC next month, based on the poor sportsmanship displayed at the last WC, the U19 Women's semi in Edmonton, and this last U20 friendly in Victoria.[}] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
