nolando Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I don't think it's a big worry, but the game still has not been announced on and is not on the schedule on the CSA site. Is this the only place it is still mentioned? Anyone's CSA-dar going off? Perhaps they aren't playing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto MB Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I don't think anyone's in a position to confirm it yet, but it seems almost certain that this match is going to happen on the 29th in Antalya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CONCACAF has it listed as the 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuscan Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Getting a bit nervous about this match being fixed. Neither us nor Belarus are going to be any kind of draw for fans in Antalya, meaning it could be another Estonia - Bulgaria friendly situation (nothing but penalties called, 6 officials indicted).

Tuscan Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Interesting tidbit about the CSA's desire to set up a friendly for June 1st. I hope we choose a nation like El Salvador or, even better, Costa Rica, for that one. We'll need to get in a game against familiar opponents to what we'll come up against in the Gold Cup. Maybe even a nation like Cuba would be good as a prep match-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Edgar's apparently been called up: http://the11.ca/2011/03/14/edgar-acknowledges-call-up-for-belarus-friendly/ sounds like Peters too: "Don't worry you get to see me soonn woohooo hahaha" (apparently in reply to Edgar): http://twitter.com/Peters_87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to see Gerba in Belarus but who knows if any NA players are even going to be called. Matt Lam should be given a call, his club isn't playing so it would be nice to keep him match fit and it definitely wouldn't hurt to have another central mid.

killgod Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Is Montreal playing any right now? I can't imagine Gerba has any serious commitments that could keep him away right now, so if he's been active, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcoatsforever Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 As for the June 1st matchup, I read somewhere that CSA have been approached by Grenada for a pre-Gold Cup friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Too weak an opponent, that'd be like playing St. VAG or...well... Grenada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Grenada are ranked 10th in CONCACAF right now so it's easy ranking points if we can pull off the win..and there's no guarantee of that, if they're using the GC to prepare for WCQ they might bring Shalrie Joseph and Jason Roberts.

Good on Hart for going to see him in person is that why he got his first 90 of the season? Either way thats what we need to be seeing from our manager, it would be cool to know how Hart rated him as I'm guessing he'll be one of the guys on the fence for the Gold Cup.

ray Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 So how does this work for the Turkish FA? What do they get from hosting this friendly? Won't be much of a draw for fans there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David C. Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 ...I think this article says that OO has declined an invitation for the game in Antalya. I ran the article through an online translator and got the impression that olivier didn't get called (rather than turned it down) -- "...waited this time in vain for an invitation to the national team of Canada..." In any case, you're correct, he's not going to Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
