JamboAl Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Ah yes, Montreal and the Honduran incident...sorry to sound like a bit of a yob, but Top Man, MB. Unfortunately, I can't make it to any of the games in person and I don't have the skills you're looking for but if you ever need a numbers guy (accountant), let me know.

Cheeta Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 "Myself, and a colleague from the UK with professional radio experience, Laurence McKenna, are going to be travelling to all 3 of Canada's group-round games at the Gold Cup." Oh, very nice. Guess you won't be polishing the bar with your sleeve along with the other Winnipeg Vs during the Gold Cup then? Ah, well. Such is the price to pay... Looking forward to the reports. And quite right, hopefully an evolution with the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlimus Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Kudos for all the work Toronto MB. What Canadian channel is broadcasting the games? Sorry if that´s already been posted. Also, who will be doing the television commentating?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto MB Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks for the all the support and the e-mails, I have been doing my best to get back to them quickly. FYI - Laurence and I received official confirmation for our press credentials today, so we will be getting Canadian-Soccer.com access to the following: Non-game days: Will have access to the team(s) open training sessions ground or at the official stadium. If the team (s) training session is closed, the first 15 minutes will be open to the media for coach/player(s) availability given by the delegation’s respective press officer or coordinator per CONCACAF regulations. During all training sessions – whether at a training ground or at the official stadium – the media will not be permitted to enter the field of play before, during or after the session. Media representatives are only authorized to observe the sessions from their usual places of work (alongside the pitch or in the stands). Interviews will take place off the field grounds towards the side once the training session concludes. All other interview arrangements between participants and the media are permitted, provided that such arrangements do not interfere with the participants’ obligations towards the media. Game days: Will have access to stadium's press box, post-match conference and mixed zone area for additional interviews. NO REPORTERS WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE FIELD OF PLAY AT ANYTIME. LOCKER ROOMS ARE ALSO CLOSED TO ALL MEDIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto MB Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 The first article of the Gold Cup build-up series has been posted on the home-page. I will update if, and when, I receive a statement from the CSA on the Begovic situation. www.canadian-soccer.com Thanks to Jamit for getting us access to the home-page.

Gian-Luca Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 The official Gold Cup website has been launched: http://www.goldcup.org/page/GoldCup/Home/0,,12802,00.html Includes a promo video for the tourney that doesn't show much in the way of Canadian highlights, as well as a Gold Cup Group A video preview.

jonovision Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Not a terrible website, by CONCACAF standards. Has Canada's 23 man roster, for instance, instead of the preliminary one on the CONCACAF site, though I had to use a non-Firefox browser for all the players to display properly. It even has stats from the last season for the players, like showing the number of games and yellow cards in the Danish Superliga for Adrian Cann.

jonovision Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Have there been any news stories out of Canada's camp since before the weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto MB Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Jono: I just got off the phone with the CSA in regards to a couple stories. We are filming the intial installment of the Gold Cup video series tonight in Winnipeg. Basically, the only pressing news is that: - Begovic stated to the CSA that he wanted to be a part of the Gold Cup and to play for Canada - He stayed home to be with his GF during the birth of their child - The CSA has no reason to believe that Asmir has any inention of switching his national alliegance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 That was great! I can't believe that there is now Voyageur TV! I know that the CSA has been asked this a million times. But any news on the Tam front? He had a great year at AEK...after earning his starting spot back from Basinas. Canada could definitely use him.
