Recommended Posts

Hey V's, this is my first post on this site although some of you know me from BigSoccer. My name's J-P, i'm from Toronto, 31 years old and playing soccer since i was 6. Back then i was at good 'ol East York SC.

Anyways, thought it might be a good thread topic to list off the times you've seen Canada play live.

CAN vs. Jamaica 3-1 Summer 1995 Caribbana Cup Toronto

CAN vs. Iran 0-1 Aug 1997 Toronto

CAN vs. Bolivia 0-0 Summer 1998 U-20 K-W(?) or Guelph?

CAN vs. Guatemala 1-0 May 1999 Toronto

CAN vs. Jamaica 1-0 Sept 1999 Toronto

CAN vs. T&T 1-0 July 2000 Toronto

CAN vs. Mexico 0-0 Nov. 2000 Toronto

CAN vs. USA 1-2 July 2006 U-20 Toronto

BTW, Rudi/TopDogg the reason i didn't meet up with you for the USA game this summer is because i was writing an article on the game. I couldn't say much about it because the guy is a poster on BS and asked me to be discrete. Sooooo...how's it hangin' guys? :D

Finally you've registered!!! Good job!

I've never seen a NT game in person since they rarely played in Quebec. I was suppose to go to the Jamaica game in september but had a playoff game so I ddin't make it to MTL.

I'm planning to go to Toronto for the U-20 oponer if single tickets can be purchase. Also if they play exhibition in Quebec (rumour about a Mexico vs Canada in Sherbrooke) I might attend it.

Welcome again jpg75!

I also remember going to a few games in the early 90's with my dad, but can't really remember as I was only 5-6 years old. Just hope that this Vancouver stadium goes through sooner rather than later as I am not looking forward to spending all my money on going to T-dot.

Topic comes up every so often but is always fun.

All the Pan-Am fixtures at Winnipeg Soccer Complex in '99. Was an U23 tourny more or less if I remember correctly but was exciting football (for me at least) all the same.

Couple of matchs @ WSC in '00. Friendly vs Hondoras and a WCQ against Cuba (see Jonovision above). Missed the Panama fixture later that year. Boooo!

And lastly the Gold Cup matchs @ QuestField last summer. Costa Rica and USA losses. Double Boooo!!!

Will be in Edmonton next summer so that's +2 matchs (even if it is WYC) and will follow the team for it's round of 16 fixture from there. Tickets or no!

Canada v. El Salvador for WCQ 1998..So I guess in 1997 @ Swangard in Burnaby. "The Pesch Incident"

Canada v. Costa Rica for WCQ 2006... 3-1 Costa Rica. booo.

Canada v. Guatemala for WCQ 2006... 2-0 Guatemala. booo.

Canada u20 v. Brazil u20 friendly @ Swangard... 3-1 Brazil. booo.

Anyone who saw the Pesch incident live can really call themselves a Canadian MNT supporter veteran. Not only that it was your first live CMNT game. Something like that can scar you for life. Somehow this is probably the memory that stands out most for me in my 20 years of following the national team.

Guest Jeffery S.

Think there are quite a few here who could make a long list of relevant matches, too many to list in fact.

I think I have only seen two. A friendly vs. Peru in Vancouver, think that was around 84 (could look it up, was a scoreless draw if I recall correctly), and the last Spain-Canada friendly in Santander, September 2005, 2-1.

There’s a women’s friendly that was supposed to be with China and wasn’t that I didn’t count. The Pesch game is a good first cap, but my poor brother’s first game was the Honduras debacle in Edmonton . . . poor kid.

It seems like more than nine games, but there you are.

cheers,

I second that Grizzly. I was at the game and it was the first time I saw our national team play. That incident and my disappointment at the result made it the most memorable MNT match I've seen. Still I imagine seeing Stalteri throw the water bottle in person and having that goal called back could top it.

My list seems small by comparison but here it is...

Burnaby WCQ '04 Guatemala-Canada 2-0

Burnaby WCQ '04 Costa Rica-Canada 3-1

Burnaby Friendly '05 Honduras-Canada 2-1

Seattle Gold Cup '05 USA-Canada 2-0

Burnaby U20 Friendly '06 Brazil-Canada 3-1

That's us being outscored 12-3 overall, but I still have the same optimistic outlook before every game. I guess that's life as a Canadian soccer fan.
