canadianfoot Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Weird that they announced it yet no publicity. Who will be Zidane & Friend's Coach?

Free kick Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Dado Prso is coming? I saw him once ( a few years ago) walking on the side walk along Bloor street near Yonge, in full gear (including soccer cleats) wearing his full Glasgow Ranger kit. Let see how many will believe me.

spiral Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 The game won't be in BC Place July 4 cause the Stadium is closed due to Renovations. Look at all the cranes outside.

nolando Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 broton at U-Sector is suggesting... The Canadian leg of the Zidane Friendship Tour is a three city event designed to give Canadian soccer fans the unique opportunity to: Watch Zidane & his friends play; Play against Zidane & his friends; Compete for international soccer training opportunities; Play for international scouts and soccer program directors. With stops in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, the Zidane Friendship Tour is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience soccer international-style. So let me get this straight. You pay money to play on the same field as current and former stars, and then I pay money to watch them play against you?!?!? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regs Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 $29 to see this group playing is peanuts. $99 is a stretch perhaps but in any event, July 4th will be a hopping evening in senior soccer circles here in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
