jpg75 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 How do you f#ck up an article by writing TWICE that the score was 2-0, when in the same said article you have this line? "Carlos Pavon scored in the 45th for Honduras." The score was 2-1 for Venezuala http://www.canadian-soccer.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=11575&whichpage=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulsar Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Anyone catch the game and get a heads up on how the Venezualans play? Is there anyone of "name" on that team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccaliam Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I know of one player, Arango, who plays in Spain. I don't know any other names but there must be a few solid players as Caracas FC just defeated River Plate in their home and away meetings recently.

Juan Arango plays for Mallorca, is the best player of the country. He did not play in the Honduras game, but he will play next friday against Canada. until now 60% of the tickets for this game are sold. The capacity of the stadium Pachencho Romero of Maracaibo is 40.000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Really bad defending by Honduras on the 2nd Venezualan goal. That was their supposed downfall last month against Haiti too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqZ7iPddRxk&mode=related&search= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between a CP wire jockey making about minimum wage half-reading the release/story they re-wrote and filed and actual sports reporting. That being said some of the glaring mistakes appearing in TFC articles this season is making me question the hiring process of some pretty big name papers. cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
