But it's been pretty frustrating watching the teams we want to compete with announce decent friendlies in the last week (US-France, Ireland, Paraguay. Costa Rica- Scotland, England, Tunisia. Panama- Switzerland, Norway, Denmark. El Salvador v Honduras) while we have a glorified scrimmage against what will likely be the New Zealand B team. I'm not expecting us to announce Germany or anything, but I don't think top 80 team in hostile environment is too much to ask.

There is nothing there that constitutes being an apologist. It's really just a fact, we have to wait and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince193 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The issue is their silence regarding a major move in the program, on both sides (Women and Men). It's ridiculous and unprofessional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 I did forget to include the following positive achievement during Mt. Vic's tenor as president of the CSA: May 5, 2012 - Victor Montagliani elected president of CSA. http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/montagliani-elected-csa-president/ April 19, 2013 - Columbus FC, Mt. Vic's club, gets inducted into The Soccer Hall of Fame as the Organization of Distinction. http://www.rednationonline.ca/Articles2012/TheCanadianSoccerHallofFameannounces2013In.aspx The facts speak for themselves. The Victor Montagliani era can be summed up as the most disappointing chapter in the history of the CSA, as in the end he accomplished sweet fuck all for soccer in Canada. Although personally, he didn't fare too badly from the experience. Shame on you, Victor. Futballer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Montagliani's markers would be things like infrastructure, business wins and losses, relationships, financial health, national stature and domestic growth of the game. Success of all our programs including women's and youth is the lesser part of his legacy. Yes, we have all come to love Mt. Vic's infrastructure, haven't we?

Binky Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 On 5/28/2012 at 4:03 PM, The Ref said: I generally agree with all the postings above. The question I would pose is will Victor have the balls to fire Hart and bring someone that can guarantee success. Hart will have to be fired sooner or later unless he pulls out a rabbit out of the hat and get us to Brasil 2014. If Victor is going to hang onto Hart forever, like the CSA did with Mitchell and Pellerud, then nothing really would have changed. Well, we finally have that man who has guaranteed success, however, I still firmly believe that actions speak louder than words, don't you?
