nolando Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Great to hear you're making the trip. Some questions for Hart, if I may suggest a few: -Which players did you scout personally in Europe on your most recent trip? What did you think of Pacheco's playing level? -Was Dunfield considered for this match? Did De Jong and Jakovic decline the call-up? Good luck and have fun.

forster01 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Ask him about hoilett But seriously ask him about De jong i am curious why he is not in the squad Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Max, here's something I'm curious about, in a nonsoccer fun way to break away from the usual talking points: which Canuck player is the polyglot of the team? I thought maybe Klukowski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I for one would like to hear about why Hume is not in the squad, and whether he was called or not and if not then why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I for one would like to hear about why Hume is not in the squad, and whether he was called or not and if not then why. He plays much too regularly and scores too many goals for his club side, just doesn't fit in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto MB Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hey All, Suffered a bit of a 'mare this morning as my camera glitched out and I have to reformat the drive just after the shoot this morning at training. So all video was lost I'm afraid, sincere apologies to all, as you can imagine it was particularly frustrating timing. Thankfully all issues have been sorted, and will be able to shoot post-match reaction tomorrow. The print stuff is up though: http://rednationonline.ca/BelarusfriendlyafinalauditionforGoldCup.aspx http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/soccer/canada-looks-to-belarus-friendly-as-prep-for-gold-cup/article1959803/ And I just appeared on The Footy Show talking more in-depth about the camp, the Gold Cup and more... http://radio.thescore.com/programs/the-footy-show/episodes Apologies again for the vids, but I can tell you the team is looking as sharp as I've seen them, and the boys are all juiced up by the news of the USA match in June.

Keegan Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Ahhhh ****ty buzz buddy sorry to hear that, awesome article though pumped to hear the team is looking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe MacCarthy Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Excellent work as always Max, asking the questions that need to be asked, thank you very much. I guess we found out the reason for Kluka's "personal reasons" absence. Sounds like it may have been a difficult pregnancy or a first one. Either way, as was stated, family comes first. I thought it might have been a divorce but am happy for him it is the exact opposite. Good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshieScores Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 great article Max! Although i'm a bit concerned about Ali G's situation... Accept then reject?? Very ambiguous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Everyone seems to be really excited about this camp. It's the first time I can ever remember all the players/coaches sounding so optimistic about a seemingly inconsequential European friendly.

Toronto MB Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 My understanding is that kick-off is at 5PM local, which is 10AM EDT and 7AM PDT. Turkey just switched onto daylight savings time last night, so we should now be 7 hours ahead of Toronto (GMT +2). No live feed as far as I know, so your best bets are Canada Soccer Twitter or Gerry Dobson will be running a live blog of sorts on the Sportsnet web-site. I would provide live updates but unfortunately I have my hands full already during the match. Looking forward to getting you guys those post-match video though, apologies again for today.

Tuscan Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Max, not sure how much electronic storage space you have for your video cam, but could you take any extended video footage of the match and perhaps compile some type of match in 6 minutes type thing? Better yet would be Match in 60 Minutes but I'll be realistic and only demand something you probably didn't bank on anyone asking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hey Max, it would be awesome if we could get a little more info on the Canada home game at BMO in June. Maybe a possible opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munseahawk Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The game is listed as being played on FIFA.com, but I can't find where. http://www.livesoccertv.com/channels/fifa/ If you go to that page and click on the Belarus-Canada link, it brings up their player which you have to download first before you can watch.
