Alberto7 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I see that Canada and the USA get a bye to the semi-finals. I guess they want to avoid 15-0 games as much as possible...

The Ref Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 How they do in the Peace Cup in S.Korea will be a good indication of what to expect in the GC. Now that Pellerud seem to have abandoned the services of Hooper, we will sure miss her scoring ability. We are not going to have thunder-foot Lang either.

Richard Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 After Hoopers last ill-considered public outburst I'm not surprised she's been dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I wonder if he'll attempt to get the team to play something that resembles soccer or just boot it every single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you confirming that Hooper has been dropped? "public outburst"? I thought she was just quoted off a telephone interview. But anyway, Pellerud seems to have buried the hatchet with Kiss now.

Richard Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 No, can't confirm anything of the sort. It was still an ill-considered public outburst. Makes no difference whether she was being interviewed over the telephone or face to face. She should have known better, especially with her wealth of experience at that level. Not a very good example to her younger less experienced team mates. All players selected to national teams are expected to behave with restraint and decorum and are de facto ambassadors for their country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan68 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 A good draw for Canada. If they can't beat either Jamaica or Panama they don't deserve to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desigol Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well, how's the state of Women's Soccer in Canada? 3 Years ago there was talk of Canada being future World Cup winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I think we are just also runs. I also think our depth is poor. One injury to a key player and the team strengh diminishes a lot. Now with no Hooper, things are even more difficult scoring wise.
