BrennanFan Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I cannot believe those 2 games actually happened. Are we really through to the semis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 quote:Originally posted by The Beaver Yeah, Mexico was poor, all tournament. Overconfident? Is the region starting to see some real parity? Or is this just a bad Mexican side? Not a bad Mexican side at all. They thought they were favorites for the Gold in Beijing, although they were missing their 2 biggest stars (maybe more).

SoccMan Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I think we need to start emailing Sportsnet and CBC to convince one of these networks to show the game. CBC can maybe put it on their digital chanel, Country Canada at the very least. This is such a big game, one win away from the Olympics and against the USA . It does not get any better than that.

Massive Attack Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 quote:Originally posted by piltdownman Here is what is one durring that time Sportsnet W: Prime Time Sports, Sportsnet Conneted, NHL Hockey Sportsnet O: Poker, poker Sportsnet E: NHL Hockey Sportsnet P: Pratt & Taylor, NHL Hockey FSWC: Football Icons, Sports Unlimited Goltv: Match Capsule, Spanish Soccer CBC-O: Wine Confidentail, Dubai: Miracle or Mirage CBC-P: Simpsons, Arrested Development, CBC news: Vancouver at 6 So FSWC or CBC look like the only ones that might care I think our best bets are FSWC or GolTV. CBC is not interested in sports on weekdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is Mexico couldn't have been closer to scoring another goal, advancing and probably(you know how Concacaf can be) would have knocked the Americans out. It's just to crazy to figure this night out. I'm not even gonna try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdroze Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I didn't get a chance to watch this game, but man oh man, this was a great thread to read.

way2goeh Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I cant believe that game either. The Haiti goalie made so many big saves despite the 5 goals. And where was the defense on those last 3 goals? 4 on none is pathetic, not once, not twice but i beieve 3 times. But it was a good game nevertheless. I cant remember a game that had me on my toes like that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many of the Haitian players and staff have relatives living in Canada, Montreal in particular.

piltdownman Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 "Today I watched two the best soccer games I have ever seen in my life. First Canada beat Guatemala 5-0, and then Mexico beat Haiti 5-1. Amazing games. Unfortunately neither of these games were available on Canadian tv. Canada has now advanced to the knockout round. If they win on Thursday they will qualify for the Olympics and make it to the final in the tournament, but again this game is not on TV here in Canada. Please pick up this game against the Americans, as it should be amazing. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we could all be the same pub having a beer and screaming at the TV but this was great fun. The forum server held up pretty good. I only noticed it lagging late in the Mexico - Haiti game when everyone (me included) was having a canary! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
