Joe Keeper Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 The CSA site has been poor on timley news releases in the last 2 months. Hopfully they will make an official announcment on this soon. Im curious to know what happened to the Honduras game. Also, I wish the CSA would arrange another pre GC home friendly for us like they did last time.

BrennanFan Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Venezuela will be an incredibly tough game, as they will be pushing to be at the top of their game in Prep for their hosting of the Copa. This will be an excellent gauge of where we stand in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 a week before the Venezuela game would be good enough all of our players are either involved in promotion or relegation battles with the MLS and USL1 season just under way player availibility becomes impossible he will probably working with the core players assembled by Stephen Hart and tune the team for the Gold cup and then after the Gold cup look at the rest of the players in the player pool. no need to pay the guy a month salary at possibly the tune of over $ 40k to sit around and watch video tape of previous nats game. the week he is officially the men's coach he should be on the training ground preparing the team for the Gold cup.

Canuck Oranje Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 A Brazilian Coach with the initials, RS, was suppose to be in the running for the Venezuela job and also was Head Coach of Honduras in 2003. Curious???? But, of course, we can't name him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Well that's good to hear. As we are not all that far off the Gold Cup (a month to go) it can't be long before the squad selection is released. I guess it would be too much to hope for tv coverage of this match, considering that we still don't even know if the Gold Cup will be shown here......

Really? Oooohhh.... Going to make an assumption (I do that), but should we be surprised that SportsNet is making an effort, and maybe an improved one at that, at Canadian football after the CBC has jumped into the market? And jumped into the market with very positive production reviews? Funny how that girl you were going to dump suddenly looks a whole lot better once you learn you're getting some competition for her attention isn't it? Either way. Excellent news.

youllneverwalkalone Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 So any Venezuelan supporters who want to throw bags of piss at any of the Canadian players before the match, that's AA flight 723. If for some reason you miss them at the airport, we'll be posting the name and location of their hotel shortly. Make sure you catch them at this point, cause we're not sure we'll be able to give you their home addresses, phone numbers, kids schools, etc. Although we would disclose that too. It is a friendly after all. Let's all get to know one another! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnipeg Fury Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Canada announces international friendly with Venezuela OTTAWA (ONTARIO) – Canada’s National Men’s team will play Venezuela in an international friendly match on 1 June, less than one week before the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The match, to be played at the Estadio José Pachencho Romero in Maracaibo, Venezuela, will be the first international friendly between the two countries. Canada will use the match as a tune-up for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in the United States. Canada plays Costa Rica on 6 June, Guadeloupe on 9 June, and Haiti on 11 June. All three games will be played at the Orange Bowl in Miami, FL. From the tournament's 16-year history (eight finals), Canada were Gold Cup champions in 2000. Venezuela is the host of this year’s Copa América 2007, which runs 26 June to 15 July. Maracaibo is one of the nine host cities for the tournament. In the May FIFA World Rankings, Venezuela was the eighth-ranked country in CONMEBOL (70th overall). Canada, meanwhile, was the 11th-ranked country in CONCACAF (94th overall).
