Alex Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Regarding sept 7th game vs panama. Read this on csa's twitter. National media call tomorrow. If its only the roster they never say "special announcement" I'm not going to speculate because I don't want to get my hopes up but all of a sudden I got really really giddy. You all know what I'm thinking..... Ahem jh ahem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordsnooty Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Seems a bit early for the roster. Wouldn't we have seen some tweets or mentions from club sites on confirmed call ups? Hope is tiresome, but hopeful I remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Seems a bit early for the roster. Wouldn't we have seen some tweets or mentions from club sites on confirmed call ups? Hope is tiresome, but hopeful I remain. It seems early, but the match is just over two weeks away. And since most players would be released following their club matches on the weekend (Sep 1 and 2) the team will be starting to gather in just over 10 days.

Jcm144 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Its deff not announcing the roster, So I really wonder what this announcement is all about? Would it be something minor....like the Women's bronze medal team making an appearance before the match kicks off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm guessing its just gonna be a publicity thing with the media to try to get a sell out in these next two weeks. Probably something like "we'll wear the centennial kits for the next two home matches". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamR Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hope is tiresome, but hopeful I remain. I love this line with regard to this ongoing saga. In fact I love the line with regard to a lot of things and I'm going to steal it and use it as my own very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm guessing its just gonna be a publicity thing with the media to try to get a sell out in these next two weeks. Probably something like "we'll wear the centennial kits for the next two home matches". I'm thinking the same thing but why would Hart be involved in this? I don't follow the media releases leading up to our games but what is the precedent here? Does Hart typically make mundane publicity announcements before games? Wouldn't that fall to someone like Max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Bob Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Before the Olympic qualifiers there was a big press conference in Vancouver with Herdman and almost all the players that pretty much amounted to "Canon is now an official sponson of the Canadian Soccer Association", followed by a chance for the press to mingle with the players. This might amount to the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This thread title reminds me of that old game "telephone". Here are the tweets in question: MEDIA NOTICE: National media call with #canMNT's Stephen Hart scheduled for 13.00 ET / 10.00 PT, Thursday August 23rd. We have a special announcement to make regarding exciting news for the Sept 7th FIFA WCQ v Panama. Details to follow this afternoon. #canMNT Somehow those two Tweets blended into one.

Free kick Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 It must be that one of the hold out players will join the squad. if the news is coming from Hart, it must be roster related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be something minor....like the Women's bronze medal team making an appearance before the match kicks off? This. And nowhere in the CSA tweets did it say that Stephen Hart had a special announcement. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 since we are going on wild speculation, why not add the wild speculation that: "Panama forfeits WCQ... matches are cancelled...canada awarded 6 points" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addona Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This thread title reminds me of that old game "telephone". Here are the tweets in question: Somehow those two Tweets blended into one. +1 Especially since the special announcement seems to be *today*, where as the media call is tomorrow ... hope I'm wrong, but this doesn't seem to be anything aside from a kit announcement or, yes, a Rob Friend bobblehead giveaway.

Addona Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I also love the wording used by the CSA: "a special announcement to make regarding exciting news" ... this just in, we have a special announcement that the exciting news is not going to happen.

El Hombre Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Especially since the special announcement seems to be *today*, where as the media call is tomorrow ... hope I'm wrong, but this doesn't seem to be anything aside from a kit announcement or, yes, a Rob Friend bobblehead giveaway.

RS Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 My bad. I'm reminded of the line from the shareshank redemption. " hope can kill a man" Heh... didn't mean to put you on the spot, but I also don't want hopes to get too high. Bank on the "special announcement" being in regards to the women's national team. As for the men's roster, I received the full media notice, and it doesn't mention a roster release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJALLTHEWAY Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 since we are going on wild speculation, why not add the wild speculation that: "Canada forfeits WCQ... matches are cancelled...Panama awarded 6 points" You've been here way too long to know that news doesn't go our way my friend.

Lord Bob Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The CSA just tweeted that members of the women's national team will be at BMO for the September 7 match. So that's the news for that match out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
