munseahawk Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 http://www.op-online.de/sport/kickers-offenbach/haas-schiesst-kickers-halbfinale-1163870.html I think this article says that OO has declined an invitation for the game in Antalya. The translation I pulled up reads as follows: "For the game on Saturday against Koblenz Gerstner can revert to Olivier Occean, his muscle problem has been largely overcome. The best scorer with twelve goals Offenbacher time waiting in vain for an invitation to Canada's national team for the game next week against Belarus in Antalya. " Reads to me like he wasn't even called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Ya I couldn't see him being called for this one having had a poor match vs. Greece and we still have to look at Gerba for the Gold Cup (hopefully he's there at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 That's ok with me as long as Gerba is there. My feeling is that Ali will be there. I would prefer OO than Friend TBH but maybe this has to do with the recent injury OO picked up with Kickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 OO didn't do much of anything against Greece, so I think Hart has perhaps made his mind up about him for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 OO didn't do much of anything against Greece, so I think Hart has perhaps made his mind up about him for the time being. Apart for the first 10 min OO was pretty good in the build up for us against Greece. He didn't have one chance but that's due to the service and Greece defense. If you look at both half of the game I think Friend was easily less effective of both strikers. I hope Hart hasn't settle in choosing Friend.

Blackdude Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 The roster will be announced tomorrow. Here are my 13 other guys. I think we have too many forwards on mine. Would like to see Kluka back, but I don't know if it's going to happen. What other CB options do we have?? Milan Borjan Kevin McKenna Adam Straith Jaime Peters Marcel de Jong Nik Ledgerwood Patrice Bernier Atiba Hutchinson Issey Nakajima-Farran Josh Simpson Simeon Jackson Iain Hume Ali Gerba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm trying to understand the last paragraph. I think it's talking about the "I have a man crush on Milan Borjan" post on the Voyageurs (Talking about Canadian official website or something like that), but I can't understand the translation in English or French.

nfitz Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 So any word on viewing parties in Toronto for this match?According to BBC website, the game time is 16:00 GMT. 12-noon Eastern. I'm not seeing anything on Sportsnet's schedule - though I guess that doesn't mean much. Any indication if it's going to be broadcast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not seeing anything on Sportsnet's schedule - though I guess that doesn't mean much. Any indication if it's going to be broadcast? From what I've read, it won't be. Dobson said on Twitter that There isn't a host feed and it's too expensive for them to send a TV team in Turkey. I'd check if a Belarussian TV station is broadcasting it.

jonovision Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 As far as I know, players began arriving in Antalya on Monday. Have there been any articles/stories yet? Also, I checked the odds the other day on bwin. Belarus were favourites while Canada was paying something like 4.7-1. If these move in a big way before the match, it's time to get suspicious.

tarnado1555362291 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yes, according to the website below they are streaming a bunch of the upcoming friendlies, many of them tomorow (friday) so I will check to see how and where to access the streams from the fifa site http://www.livesoccertv.com/channels/fifa/ EDIT : I can't find anywhere on fifa.com a stream to any of the games today, but that site is difficult to navigate, perhaps someone else will have better luck.

jpg75 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Dobson with an update: http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/2011/03/27/dobson_blog_canada/ "...Head coach Stephen Hart called in 22 players for this camp. They're all here and no one is carrying an injury. Some of you have been wondering why certain players have not been called in. Marcel de Jong and Iain Hume come to mind. No big mystery there. He knows what these players bring to the table. Keep in mind coach Hart has to pick his spots when requesting players. Also keep in mind there will be another camp in the Toronto area in late May and a friendly at BMO Field June 1 leading into this summer's Gold Cup." "...Back to the good news though. The sessions have been very impressive. Assistant coach Tony Fonseca told me Sunday morning that Saturday's training session was the sharpest he had seen with Canada in five years. The players are focused and it shows. Crisp drills with plenty of energy. The squad has been here the better part of a week now and they're all anxious to face Belarus Tuesday. There's also a sense among the likes of Josh Simpson and Atiba Hutchinson that their time is now. They seem to be fed up with stumbling during the early stages of World Cup Qualifying and appear determined to make things right this time around.
