Sam Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Okay slightly cliche, but if you could have one thing happen in 2011 related to the Canadian national teams (mens or womens) what would it be. For me - the mens team still in World Cup Qualifying come 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I wish for playing time, especially for our younger professionals. There have been years when injuries decimated our program, despite a few real success stories like Simpson and Attiba, but I don't remember a year like this past one (especially the last quarter) when so many exciting young Canadians were sitting on benches worldwide.

BearcatSA Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 CMNT wins the GC, and then the CWNT wins the WC! None of this "hope for a good run in the tournament" sh*t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killgod Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 For more support. For the CSA to somehow generate more interest through marketing and such, so this team becomes relevant in the Canadian sporting world. I want the cities and sports news to buzz a bit over the Gold Cup in June and WCQ's in the fall. Ultimately I wish for Canadian soccer to be as relevant to this nation as the Blue Jays and the CFL are. (which are the top two outside of hockey). Of course I cheat with my wish, as success for the programs are ultimately tied to this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 CMNT wins the GC, and then the CWNT wins the WC! None of this "hope for a good run in the tournament" sh*t! I take 6 wins in 6 games during the WCQ before the GC win....remember 2000..... I wish both the U17 and U20's qualify for a WC. I wish for Milan Borjan or someone else to challenge Lars in net so we have some much needed competition at that position. I wish one of our three target man establish himselfl firmly as the starter. I wish we have a RB who plays at the club level. I also want to wish all my fellow Voyageurs an excellent 2011 in what should be an exciting year for Canadian soccer (WNT at the WC, WCQ starts, GC, U17 and U20 WCQ, Vancouver first MLS season, etc).

TFCRegina Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I'm going to assume that everyone elses wishes cover this stuff but here is mine (i take for granted we'll survive group stage 1 of the WCQ and we'll do alright in GC): 1. Women's World Cup, we advance to the Semis 2. CMNT caps Junior, JDG2 and 5 unnamed young players (of which i hope at least 1 will become a regular national fixture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcoatsforever Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 For the MNT, the Gold Cup. For the WNT, the World Cup. For the country at large, a new stadium housing FC Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Keeper Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Ideally: The women win the WC (wich might not be that unrealistic) The Men win another GC wich would do wonders for our ranking Junior Hoilett and JDG2 commit to national team long term Other major prospects emerge for the future We get a reasonable draw for our path to WC qualifiying for 2014 (no more screw jobs by CONCACAF) We see the establishment of another few solidly run pro clubs in major centers (no matter what league structure they play under) Realistically: A fair GC with competant officiating (CONCACAF, this is getting embarrassing) Men make a solid run at GC The CSA schedule 4 or more friendlies in addition to the GC games (The have done a good job of getting decent opposition so far, however we still played an inadequate number of games last year. When you consider how many most of our regional rivals played, our 6 does not cut it. I would accept some games against lower ranked nations. At some level games are games.)

DerHoota Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Everything that has already been said. Some new jerseys...i think they are long overdue. It would be nice to have a home friendly on the west coast, preferably Vancouver. I think the last game the CMNT played here was vs Costa rica in 2005?
