Guest Ed Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I have worked hard at supporting this team for over 10 years. That was a gutless performance. How can a Cdn team lose that badly and not even take a f*ing yellow card! I am done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razcle Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Valid point. I think we all feel the same way. Take a breather and let's get behind for 2018. Remember this was not supposed to be the group/ year that we make the world cup. We just had a decent run and crashed out at the very end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how you feel, that was a shocking performance but if you bail on the team and the Voyageurs you are making the assumption that the new group of young guys will do the same and we don't know how they will be at this point!

Bertuzzi44 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Canada is one of the hardest teams in the world to support. They have very little success, and you could say the lay Canadian doesn't care about the team, or thinks they "suck" and will refuse to support them. But that is also what makes The Voyageurs some of the best footy fans in the world; because despite of all the hardship, they will be there behind Canada through thick and thin. Let's not change that here folks. These ARE the trying times.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbrad Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Take a break Ed. I know how you feel as I've had similar thoughts. I've never felt so gutted after that garbage performance. ; But you know how this works. They'll place top three in the GC next year and bring you back in...

redhat Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I know how you feel, Ed. It was a long walk to the car after watching the gutless performance. But in the end, regardless of disappointment, my Facebook status read: "My country, right or wrong." Perhaps this would help. In 1981 we were also OH SO CLOSE to reach Espana 1982. My Argentinian-Canadian friends were all excited that Canada was very close to making the world stage, and this was my first time I got excited about Canadian chances but as you know Honduras and El Salvador (not Mexico or the US) were the lucky news. Despite being gutted and no one around me caring much (how different is it now?), we had to try again. The next cycle, we were in Mexico '86 when only ONE other CONCACAF team (other than the host) could make it. It's okay to take a break from all this crap, but when it's the next WC cycle, we'd be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footscray Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Anytime youth comes into a losing sports team it at least gives us hope and I hope we have that to look forward to at least. Sorry to use a hockey analogy, but look at the Edmonton Oilers, they have been one of the worst managed teams in all of sports for half a decade and yet their fanbase is still hanging in there because they have youth and you can see the direction they're headed in. I believe the next chapter for Canada will be a rebuilding phase for the SMNT program and regardless of the result, those give you hope. That said the NHL does reward futility with the best young talent and we won't necessarily be seeing the same level of talent but I think the basic principle of rebuilding the program is the same and will be interesting. In the next 4 years we'll be seeing the next Deguz, Dero, Hutch and McKennas come into the side as young players and I think it'll be an interesting time though not without growing pains.
