Admin Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I realize it's eleventh hour, shoot is tomorrow. I would like to put together a list of talking points for people to help them out, or as a starting place. They should pertain to: Supporting Canada Supporting Local Soccer in general What do you want to hear? Make people people sound good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califax Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Answer maybe the same 5 questions for everyone, that way no one feels they have to think about it too much ahead of time and all the answers will be able to be cut together nicely. 1. When did you fall in love with soccer? 2. When was your first Canadian National Team game? Describe it. 3. Who is your favorite Canadian player to watch and Why 4. Why does Canada need soccer to evolve? 5. What can you tell people who have never been to a game? What are they missing? A good variety, give 30-45 seconds worth of answers for each and we are laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campbell Blake Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Soccer has never been at a better place in Canada than it is today when you consider quite a few of our players are plying their trade at some of the highest levels throughout the world while the MLS is now giving our homegrown talent the chance to develop close to home. This will only help the game from the youth levels all the way to the national team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an idea Sorry for the brief response before, I was on my phone. I didn't mean to be curt. We want' to keep it positive because ranting will get us no where. We need to be a group people want to join. We need to be a group that does not alienate people, even those that are in the stadium cheering for the other team. Everyone of them is a potential supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saviola7 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 You could mention some of the quirky things about being a voyageur. -Our projects: Vs cup, golden shoe, christmas cards. -Watching jerky web streams of matches in spanish -The fact that geography means that we can rarely see those outside of our region and there are few home matches in which to do so anyway.
