Winnipeg Fury Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Gerba has just moved into the top 5 with his brace today against Guatemala. With a solid Gold Cup, he will be on his way to claiming Canada's top spot: Mitchell 19 Catliff 18 Bunbury 16 DeRosario 15 Gerba 13 Vrablic 12 Corazzin 11 Radzinski 10 Pesch 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Just to add some more information, here are the goals per game for each player. If you extrapolate that number for Gerba, by his 50th cap he will have 27 goals providing he keeps up the current rate. Mitchell 19/55 = .35 gpg Catliff 18/44 = .41 gpg Bunbury 16/64 = .25 gpg DeRosario 15/52 = .29 gpg Gerba 13/24 = .54 gpg Vrablic 12/35 = .34 gpg Corazzin 11/59 = .19 gpg Radzinski 10/45 = .22 gpg Peschisolido 10/53 = .19 gpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same as playing the Montreal Firemen Team, for statistical purposes at least. A mere scrimmage.

FIFA has it listed as a friendly, right below the Cyprus game (for Canada) and the Mexico game (for Guatemala). Concacaf lists it as a friendly as well. Edited to add the defintion of an International A Friendly which would seem to indicate that this WAS an A match quote: Art. 4 International football matches recognised by the Federation shall be those between two national associations affiliated to the Federation and for which each association fields a representative national team. An international “A” match shall be a match that has been arranged between two national associations affiliated to the Federation and for which both associations field their first national representative team. The terms used to define a match shall be those recognised as giving an appropriate political and geographical description of the countries or territories in the national associations whose teams are involved in the match and over which countries or territories they have sole control and jurisdiction. If a national association allows one of its leagues to choose a team which bears the name of its country, the match shall be considered an international match as described in the aforementioned §1.

Guest Jeffery S. Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Interesting. The Guatemala press insisted it was not, that it did not count. If it did better for us, in any case, as it will go towards our ranking. I wonder what subs were made, unlimited would invalidate it as an A friendly, limited would not. Any report on subs we made?

jpg75 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Canada made 7 substitutions. According to the FIFA Laws of the Game: Official Competitions Up to a maximum of three substitutes may be used in any match played in an official competition organised under the auspices of FIFA, the confederations or the member associations. The rules of the competition must state how many substitutes may be nominated, from three up to a maximum of seven. Other Matches In national A team matches, up to a maximum of six substitutes may be used. In all other matches, a greater number of substitutes may be used provided that: • the teams concerned reach agreement on a maximum number; • the referee is informed before the match. If the referee is not informed, or if no agreement is reached before the match, no more than six substitutes are allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 ^ Given that the number of substitutions was exceed along with the fact that De Guzman and a Guatemalan player were asked to sit out by the referee withoug cards being issued, makes me think that it was not an A friendly. I would trust the Guatemalan press over the CSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdroze Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'd trust FIFA over both of them. It counts. http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/nationalteams/confederations/confederation=23914/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Bump this thread because I would like the situation with one of Gerba goal. I notice that Gerba has scored 15 goals but one of them was against Guadeloupe (a non-FIFA team). Should that goal be excluded from Gerba total? Not that I have I preference but it seems weird to me to include goals scored against teams that aren't FIFA members (DeRo also has one against Martinique). Anyways, I guess my question is what are the criterias regarding goals scored at the international level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
