Tuscan Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Canada 3:0 St. VAG Canada</u> Goals: DeRo (2), Friend Cards: Brennan (Y) St. VAG</u> Goals: Cards: at least 1 if not more I would be quite disappointed if we didn't manage to notch at least a couple against a country who's name sounds more like a Louisiana jazz ensemble...

Tuscan Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Also I wish there was some way to either convince CTV Globemedia (who owns Sportsnet, correct?), the CSA, or some other method, to heavily advertise this match across the nation. Even if the person isn't interested in the game at all, at least make sure they know it's happening. Make this seem important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soju Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Prediction: St. VAG bunker down and hit us on the counter attack. Canada dictates play but can only score once as Hutch finishes a rebound from run of play. A long ball sees our defenders fail to reach their lone forward in time, and St. VAG gets on the board with a late equalizer. Canada 1 - Hutchinson St. VAG 1 - Francis Canada rearms and regroups to win the second leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamonty Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'm working on a theory. It is a theory that at present is wholy without statistics, only based on gut-feel. I'm thinking that every 15-20 places difference in FIFA ranking is worth 1 goal. By this statistic, (St VAG 147 - Canada 60 = 87/~17 = I'm predicting a win by a goal differential of 5. I'll say that each midfielder scores a goal and Onstad(Sutton) gets the goose-egg, 5-0. There are a few quirks with this so-called theory. Since October of 2007 StVAG has dropped 74 places in the rankings. (73 to 147) while Canada has been stable around the 50-60 mark. Had this been October 2007, I might have predicted a 2-1 squeeker for the canooks... but by putting all faith in the mighty CocaCola rankings and my flimsy gut-feel theory, it should be a blow-out. Furthermore, I think the theory may only work within the confederation. The goal per ranking factor would increase dramatically if it were, as an example, UEFA vs. Concacaf. This would help explain why we lose to the likes of Estonia and tie nations like Iceland. As I said, this is a gut-feel theory. If there are any statisticians out there who are interested to start extrapolating data from the FIFA site, I'd be clearly interested to hear the results. Do highly ranked teams like US & Mex typically have goal explosions versus Caribbean islanders (ranked 120+)? If anything, this is just fodder for the forum.

Damn... only about 14 months ago St. VAG would have been the favorites![:0] (at least in the eyes of the FIFA world rankings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themodelcitizen Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 0-0. I don't think we'll see an away blowout, if anything a win by 1 or 2 goals, max. Save the free-scoring for the home leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 St. VAG haven't won a match in something like 7 or 8 tries. And they don't exactly play heavyweights. 2-nizzle for this round (a few more goals in MTL), Friend and De Ro with the goals. De Guzman will get a yellow card for Canada. Or, more legibly Canada 2 [Friend, DeRo] [cards:De Guzman] St. VAG 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
