China's 2012 games:

1-0 Mexico

0-0 South Korea

0-0 North Korea

0-1 Sweden

0-1 Germany

0-1 Iceland

1-0 Portugal

Looks more like binary math than football scores.

Outside the no-brainer of Lauren Sesselmann and two goalkeepers for a friendly, Herdman's roster is almost identical to Morace's World Cup team.

You didn't read my post eh! in the calendar thread. Whatever.

Sure and thanks. Just starting a thread for the game in advance to keep things in one place.

China is about as random as you get in women's football. Hopefully for the locals and players we get a win against what looks like a hardworking stingy team, but you hope the best for China. It's a tough life being a Canadian women's soccer player, but it's a lot tougher being Chinese.

Americans beat China 4-1 today and 3-0 in a scrimmage the other day. Granted these are US Soccer highlights of the earlier scrimmage but the Chinese look uncharacteristically slow in their reactions:

Looks like it will be close to a sellout according to: https://tickets.moncton.ca/Online/default.asp?brand=Sports&sessionlanguage=EN

Says tickets are "limited", so I assume it's close to being sold out. Can't wait to go, hopefully the atmosphere will be great for our national team!

Well, that website uses "1/3rd" symbols and there are 10 000 seats in the stadium, so I expect that at least 6 666 tickets have been sold! ;)

Calling for periods of rain and temps in the low-mid teens.

Now that the team is in town...pics in this AM's paper of them practising at Crandall University field.

This afternoon's presser at city hall.

There should be more interest for the limited tickets still available

In the CBC article photo it is a pity Sinclair is not holding one of our Voyageur's scarf. Whoever has the stock please send one scarf to each player and the coach.

As of yesterday ticket sales were closing in on 7,000. Ticket sales are capped at 8,500?

Does that mean 1,500 seats were set aside for dignitaries and corporate types. Under the roof on a rainy day in the West stand that I couldn't get tix in? Oh well gotta have sponsors and their friends.

Okay here's the story

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/story/2012/05/30/nb-moncton-soccer-turnout-559.html

Game time weather or there abouts.

Periods of rain ending in the evening Low 11

Yea, I wasn't able to get tickets in the west end either. Oh well, the rain is supposed to stop by 8 tonight so we should be fine.

China now ranked 18th internationally and 4th in AFC, their lowest ever.

While Canada and the US are tweaking for Great Britain two months from now, the Chinese are in recovery.

Their leader Han Duan retired this tour after 182 caps and 106 goals.

The Chinese flew to Toronto after their US game Sunday. Not sure when they arrived in NB.

The same old thing. Long high balls and get the ball and run type team. When are we going to build some confidence to come out playing? I know our skills are suspect, but surely we can do better. Too much of a happy go lucky coach. When our big gun Sinclair does not manage a single shot on goal, except for a free kick and the goal, it is unbelievable. The only player I salvage from the whole lot is Chelsea Stewart.

As one of the announced 7,514 in attendance I just want to thank the CSA for bringing the game here. I had a good time and enjoyed the chance too see OUR team play.

The $8 for a dog, fries and pop even seemed reasonable although I did stay away from the $6 beer.

Keep spreading the game CSA some of us started thinking you forgot the regions of our nation.
