gator Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Anyone know what became of Sutton's trial with NYRB cause I really liked him in the Gold Cup. If he is getting consistent playing time somewhere he could still be Canada's starting keeper for 2014 Courtesy of Nolando in the Canadians Abroad thread:http://web.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd=20100220&content_id=8105676&vkey=news_rbn&fext=.jsp&team=t107 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 As predicted, Presidenta Cristina is pulling out al lthe stops and has planned an extravaganza at Monumnetal Stadium before the match, with Ricky Martin and Shakira taking centre-stage for the 6 pm show before the match starts at 7:15 pm local time (projected, may be changed). My girlfriend now wants to go so she can see Ricky's ass. On television and radio, a lot of discussion: the culture nationalists are upset about the non-Argie headliners, and the futbol purists about the distraction to the national team. No announcement about ticket sales yet. --------------- http://www.cronista.com/notas/224820-el-gobierno-prepara-river-una-fastuosa-despedida-la-seleccion SERÁ EL 24 DE MAYO, DÍA DEL AMISTOSO ANTE CANADÁ, ANTES DE VIAJAR A SUDÁFRICA El Gobierno prepara en River una fastuosa despedida de la Selección En la antesala del Bicentenario habrá una fiesta del estilo Super Bowl en la que actuarán artistas de la talla de Shakira, Ricky Martin y Fito Páez. Vicentico entonará el himno CLAUDIO FEDEROVSKY Buenos Aires () Imprimir Recomendar 03:00 Pese a que Diego Maradona se había manifestado contrario a la idea, el próximo lunes 24 de mayo la selección nacional de fútbol tendrá su despedida formal de la Argentina, antes de emprender viaje a Sudáfrica, con un partido amistoso ante Canadá que será, apenas, un condimento más de la jornada “popular” que el Gobierno está organizando como uno de los fastuosos festejos del Bicentenario de la Nación. Ese lunes, en el estadio de River, y rodeando a Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuaín, Carlos Tevez y Javier Mascherano, entre las tantas figuras que el “10” llevará al Mundial, habrá grandes sorpresas con un show lumínico, visual y artístico de nivel internacional con estrellas que empezarán a definirse esta tarde cuando funcionarios estatales y Guillermo Tofoni, presidente de World Eleven, la empresa organizadora, se reúnan para definir los aspectos “finitos”. La idea es que el partido comience a las 19.15, y que el espectáculo previo arranque a las 18, con un in crescendo que tendrá su momento culminante minutos antes de las 19 con un repentino apagado de luces para que, con el fondo de una música intensa acompañados de rayos láser, desemboquen en el Monumental un par de helicópteros. De las máquinas descendería, para cantar uno o dos temas, alguna de los cantantes internacionales que el Gobierno tiene contratados y que pondría a disposición para este evento, siendo los nombres más probables los de Ricky Martin, Shakira, o el colombiano Carlos Vives, idolatrado por Maradona. De igual modo, un reconocido actor argentino (¿Ricardo Darín?) aterrizaría en el círculo central para llevar a cabo una lectura vinculada con el hecho histórico que se conmemora. Por supuesto, que en semejante fiesta no podrá faltar la ejecución del Himno Nacional Argentino, que será entonado por el cantante Vicentico, quien estará acompañado, en un semicírculo, por todo el plantel argentino que jugará el Mundial más un grupo de “notables invitados” compuesto por viejas glorias del deporte nacional sobresaliendo, desde ya, los integrantes de los seleccionados que se consagraron campeones del mundo en Argentina ‘78 y México ‘86. También desfilarían, entre otros seleccionados recordados, planteles destacados de Los Pumas y Las Leonas. Tal vez, también, diga presente la presidenta Cristina Fernández de Kirchner o algún funcionario destacado del Gobierno. Quienes tengan la posibilidad de acceder al Estadio adquiriendo su entrada por Ticketek a los mismos precios que costó ver el agónico triunfo ante Perú, en la última Eliminatoria Sudamericana, o estén sentados frente a la pantalla de Canal 7, se encontrarán, renglón seguido, con Fito Páez y su piano con el ya clásico “Y dale alegría a mi corazón”. Emoción garantizada. Tal vez ese sea el final del show, antes del “cotillón” de ocasión que, por supuesto, incluirá los legendarios papelitos blancos y celestes. Y empezará a rodar la pelota, y a volar la imaginación de los tantos futboleros argentinos que querrán darle su voz de aliento a una Selección que, aun con tropiezos y varios pasos en falso, llegará a la cita mundialista con la firme ilusión de repetir viejas epopeyas a partir del extraordinario momento por el que atraviesan muchos de los jugadores que, finalmente, integrarán la famosa lista de 23. Después vendrá el debut ante Nigeria, y los choques con Corea del Sur y Grecia que permitirán establecer para qué está el equipo. Pero para esos capítulos, todavía falta. La primera cita será en Núñez, el 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachesl Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 They were complaining about it in early February when the match was announced both in terms of interest in watching and in terms of a true test of readiness, but now they are complaining more about the distraction of the hoopla of the bicentennial concert before the match. I think that in the light of the realization that it will be early days for them in terms of preparation, the fans are now relieved at the opponent, especially given Maradona's panic about the need to rest in late February. The ones that truly know about football know that Canada is not Mongolia (apologies to the many Mongolians here) in terms of futbol. Most Argentineans , though considering themselves futbol savy, are not really that knowledgeable of the international game. I wish I had a bottle of maple syrup for everyone who asked me: "Canadá tiene un seleción de futbol?!?" (similiar to anyone in, say, Timmins, would ask: "Argentina has a hockey team?!?" ) . If we perform decently in BA, hopefully I will not be asked that question anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 That's a big party for a Monday. Hoping Messi will be playing on the Saturday in Madrid, if he does I seriously doubt he would even get on the pitch for our friendly. Same with any other Argie playing the Champions Final. Celebrate on the Sunday, fly on the Monday. It is a dumb way to prepare a team for the world cup, the match is in fact a few days too early as is. Sounds to me like they will play this, then after, when they are done with us, will start really preparing for South Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklefan Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Maradona is slowly getting things right. Just because he won a friendly against Germany? I don't think so. I was tempted to believe that but after the game there was this funny incident... In Germany, it seems to be usual to make press conferences with players and coaches, when Maradona realizes there's a "person" besides him he wants to leave because he's used to do conferences alone. Not only he hasn't education at all but also he proved a lack of responsability as a coach. That "person" was a German player and it looks like Maradona didn't know all the players his side was playing against! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_Whz5MiV58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 The match, previously scheduled to begin at 7:30 pm local time, has been rescheduled so President Cristina can also attend the opening of the newly refurbished Teatro Colon that evening. It will now be at 4 pm local, presumably after the Ricky/Shakira specatacular This means Trilliums luch meeting may be turned into a brunch meeting if we wanti to catch the concert as well as the warm-up. But, it also means we can start partying earlier. Also announced is that Argentina will play a friendly in Dubai against the UAE on the 29th of May. They will fly to Dubai the 26th of May, and to Pretoria right after the match. This negates the earlier plan to fly to Frankfurt for a friendly with the South Africa team. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.mdzol.com/mdz/nota/200262-Amistoso-de-la-Selecci%C3%B3n-argentina-en-Dubai/ Amistoso de la Selección argentina en Dubai AFP La Selección argentina confirmó hoy su amistoso frente a un combinado de Emiratos Árabes Unidos, por lo que el próximo 26 de mayo se trasladará a Dubai, mientras que dos días antes se despedolon that eveningirá del público nacional con un encuentro frente a Canadá.El elenco nacional jugará el 24 de mayo frente al conjunto canadiense a las 16:00.

La Selección argentina confirmó hoy su amistoso frente a un combinado de Emiratos Árabes Unidos, por lo que el próximo 26 de mayo se trasladará a Dubai, mientras que dos días antes se despedirá del público nacional con un encuentro frente a Canadá. El elenco nacional jugará el 24 de mayo frente al conjunto canadiense, aunque en lugar de llevarse a cabo a las 19:30, se realizará a las 16:00. El motivo del cambio de horario responde a que si el partido comenzaba a las 19:30, iba a coincidir con la ceremonia de reapertura del Teatro Colón. El cotejo se disputará en el marco de los festejos por el Bicentenario y contará con un show al estilo Super Bowl. En tanto, el 26 de mayo partirá hacia Dubai para enfrentar a un combinado local días antes del comienzo del Mundial de Sudáfrica 2010. Entonces, la Argentina no enfrentará a Sudáfrica en un amistoso(a pesar de que la FIFA había dado vía libre para que pudieran enfrentarse ambos equipos a pocos días del inicio de la cita ecuménica) y sí lo hará con un combinado de Dubai, el 29. Finalizado ese encuentro, Maradona se trasladará a Pretoria para quedar instalado allí a la espera de las acciones mundialistas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
