Blackdude Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Anyone know why he turned it down? I don't know the real reason, but Sodade needs to prove himself at the Sounders camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I think the best part about choosing Miller as interim is that he is so clearly NOT a candidate for the full-time job. If it was a guy like Fonseca or Dasovic who are CSA coaches with no other employment (unlike Miller with his FCE gig) I'd fear that the interim tag would be removed pretty easily. Miller will not be Canada's full-time manager, now or ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 They have said that that is the goal. If they don't I will happily jump on the "CSA is incompetent" bandwagon. So we agree that Colin Miller is not the "RIGHT" man that we are waiting so patiently for the CSA to hire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm cool with Miller as interim coach as long as that's all it is, he knows the North American players who are going to be called in abundance for these friendlies and he has lots of coaching experience!

Canada1 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Oh common. This is not good enough. There is a total of 2.6 million soccer players registered in Canada of which 840,000 are adults. Increase the fees by $10.00 each, hire a proper National Manager and put in place a successful program copied from another country that is successful from the grass roots up.

Not sure if the CSA can force the provincial bodies to do it. Also as in politics "Lowering or keeping frozen" Taxes(registrations fees) is more popular than Raising Hell....even when sometimes it is simply needed to sustain the Growth....but it's easier to pass the Hot Potatoe until the next election to another party.

madmonte Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Anyone know why he turned it down? Crap, I lost the link...might have even been on the front page, but Sodade is recovering from a torn ACL, as far as I understand. Almost there, though, but doesn't want to risk it.

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 In Colins case he has a World Cup experience as a player, but has not had top table experience as a coach, Kinda why he needs the FCE job to cut his teeth on., rather than been pulled awat at Nats level for too long. He was player-manager of Hamilton Accies in Scotland at one point, which probably doesn't qualify as "top table experience" but they were a full-time pro team at the time, so it's not all that different from Paul Peschisolido's level of experience in that regard with Burton Albion. From what I remember hearing (they are the team I supported when I was growing up) his time at Accies came to a rather ignominious end after instructions had to be sent down from the directors box to sub him off during a game. Given his subsequent involvement with the national team, Derby County and the Whitecaps he is probably the best qualified within the CSA old boy's coaching network right now but that doesn't mean that "interim" should turn into a full-time gig as happened previously with Stephen Hart.

Jeeze! don't big him up too much! We want to keep him at the Eddies for more than the tme it takes to negotiate the coffee machine in the YEG internatial airport departure Lounge!

Tennis Canada did it back in the early 2000's and we now for the first time have a mens player ranked for the first time at #13 MILOS RAONIC in the World and the top Junior Boys player in the world FILIP PELIWO. That is a lame reason for not to take advantage of an opportunity to better the Soccer Program in this country. If it means that Canada is successful then it will have been well worth it. More money into programs works as was evident at the Winter Olympics in 2010. Yes Canada set the record for the most Golds in the Winter Olympics and the main reason for it was funding, like other countries have done.

maccaliam Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 ^ Team GB attributed their success at the London Olympics to the increased funding they received over the past 4-5 years too. As long as the extra money was spent on coaching and training then, i agree, it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget the GB Women's wall parting like a Red Sea for Christine Sinclair's free kick that resulted in one of her six goals.

Increase the fees by $10.00 each, hire a proper National Manager and put in place a successful program copied from another country that is successful from the grass roots up. i think another way is to go back to marketing again... the csa needs to promote players - make them popular by associating them with brands like umbro, adidas, nike etc as well as other products - gatorade, dole, kia etc... we need up and coming heroes for kids to aspire to be. and will by products and help support canadian soccer at every level. esso with gas stations - collector mini soccer balls... mcdonald's and soccer player cards... it's about creating a brand/culture. and people will buy into it and help support the csa at the same time. it will also create awareness which they desperately need! by creating a brand, everything will fall into place. money wil be raised through coroprate partnerships. better people will be hired. we will have more money to play, hire the right staff, have the right equipment... as sad as this all sounds it's very true. it doesn't seem like too many people agree with me here but this is what it will take. we need to build a brand! i wish i could take on a job within the csa to help get this going. if interested - please contact me!

Especially enjoyable after hearing the commentator say Canada wasn't supposed to win. Personally I lost all respect and affection for UK with one word...turbot.

alberta white Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm refering to the insane Hyberbole associated with everything peadophillic such as watching girls doing anything in the UK media. One of the many reason for upping sticks and getting out of there! As for the English comentary in the Olympic soccer? Surely by now you must know that the majority of them are Idiots? the Brits were playing well in the tournament but were hardly going to Medal. Not sure why the UK and Irelands support for Canada over turbot would make you negative towards them. But I suppose I'm light on the finer details of the episode? Still, got you to agree with Robert.... Now theres a SHOCKER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he's related to Elizabeth Cowell, she was smokin' in the 30s. As for the English comentary in the Olympic soccer? Surely by now you must know that the majority of them are Idiots? the Brits were playing well in the tournament but were hardly going to Medal.Point taken, but I had to watch the BBC during the Olympics, can't remember why I missed the Canadian broadcasts but I thought Guy Mowbray did a great job. The other hosts/commentators were homers but that's to be expected. I believe it was Lucy Ward who said Canada was not expected to win but she may have meant that from the local support not the actual skill/talent/history of either team. I gotta give Guy Mowbray props because he outed that Norwegian referee three times before the final infamy. The first was when he said she likely wouldn't get another game when at the start of the second half she didn't notice an extra South African on the field. He made more comments during the USA game. GB beat Brazil but is it just me, aside from Marta, they are wayyyy overrated. Does anybody offhand recall if the CWNT games are torrented here. I'm sure they must be, I need to find them. Edit found this Canadian Olympic soccer match video [no R] but looking for Canadian audio commentary of all the games Oh yeah, Colin Miller - Interim Head Coach of Canada. Good choice.

Says he's in just for the 2 games and will go back to Edmonton This two game comment in the interview worries me. If Miller is only here for January, what does that say about the CSA's promise to play on "every" international date? I'm really happy with the 2 game extended camp in January, but if the CSA is truly committed to starting to turn around this entire program I fully expect them to arrange a game for the February match day(s) as well as those in any month where there is a date to be filled. Playing two games in January and having one of them 'count or being as good as' playing a game in February is not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
