Sport Shaman Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Interesting. I have been wondering what Benito has been up to for the last while. Good to know that he has not just been chilling out in Valencia and eating seafood paella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Do we know where Benito lives? Toronto would probably be the most effective place to be considering the team has the highest quantity of Canadian internationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Do we know where Benito lives? Toronto would probably be the most effective place to be considering the team has the highest quantity of Canadian internationals. Yes, he's based out of Toronto.

sting Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It's not on a FIFA date, so it will be hard to get the clubs to say yes. We might see the next Eddie Sidra, Gianluca Zavarise, Massih Wassey or Gavin McCallum. Aren't most clubs done for the season at that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Aren't most clubs done for the season at that time? Yes, European clubs (that our players are attached to at least) will be done so we shouldn't have any problems. I think that's the main reason we've waited until May, there was no point in wasting $ on a friendly in Feb, March or April that would most likely feature the same B players who were at the January camp.

Blackdude Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Aren't most clubs done for the season at that time? Still, clubs have their right to say no. Many MLS clubs declined 4 years ago for those reasons. Why would they say yes now? Hutch wasn't there 4 years ago and I don't think that he was injured. Copenhagen didn't want him to take a risk on one of their top 3 players rightly so. Oh and Keegan, had we played in March, a FIFA date might I add, they could have called any Canadian eligible player if the player said yes. Now you need a club and we've seen many players saying no at the last Gold Cup to find a club.(Hainault Hutchinson, Jackson's final 2 games to name a few) The fact that some players want to find a job will weigh in also this time.

madmonte Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Makes sense to wait for the roster announcement. Keeps the attention on the Voyageurs Cup games that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ref Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I find it odd that other federations always release this information before the CSA … or at least it seems that way. Maybe the suits at the CSA need to wait until their next board meeting to approve publications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I know I was on this before, but I'm gonna say it again. Seeing Bulgaria's lineup...this is not a team to scoff at. Think about Mexico playing their Club America team against New Zealand...the guys at Ludogrets have no shortage of chemistry, and they will be bringing that to this match. As Canadian fans, we are prone to thinking that Bulgaria is a team we should be beating, but on the flip side, all the Bulgarian fans are thinking we are a team THEY should be beating. In World Cup Qualifying they had a BUNCH of draws, and at least one of the games I was watching, they had the run of play. They weren't super far off from World Cup Qualification, in any event, and playing Denmark and Czech (strong teams in their group) to draws pretty much helped prevent THOSE teams from qualifying. I'm not being defeatist, just saying that this is a game I'm expecting a very quality opponent, who has their team chemistry more together than we do at the moment. The boys at Ludogorets had an amazing season, finishing first in their group in Europa, contending against teams like Chornomorets, PSV, and Dinamo Zagreb, then beating Lazio (who have guys like Hernanes, Lucic, and Miroslav Klose in their lineup) before falling to Valencia. Their players have been playing at a MUCH higher level than our guys who are going to be playing against them, with maybe the exception of Hutchinson, and to a lesser extent JDG. Be prepared for a tough match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazlo_80 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I dont think many people are scoffing at anyone these days. I think we're the underdogs by a country mile. We have guys in our line up that are playing D4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I don't think anyone expects us to beat ANYONE at the moment, never mind Bulgaria who have produced quality in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toje Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I know it is a closed door game, but I was going to go down to the game and try my luck. However, the village where the game is being played lacks decent public transportation after the game. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Does anyone know if anyone is going to be there doing a live twitter feed or anything? What'll be the best way to follow the action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 2 injuries from the Bulgarian side. Defender Pavel Vidanov from Polish side Zaglebie. Forward Dimitar Rangelov from Swiss side Luzern 1 injury replacement: Defender Aleksandar Aleksandrov from Ludogorets I've read something the summary of a presser they did yesterday. The only thing they said about Canada is that the players don't know the team, which is not surprsing considering when the team is nearly 75% local. So, they're focusing on their team more than on Canada. They left on Wednesday morning to go to Vienna by plane and will take a train from there to where the game will be played. Does anyone know if anyone is going to be there doing a live twitter feed or anything? What'll be the best way to follow the action? The CSA's twitter feed is your best best. If you speak Bulgarian (which uses the Cyrllic alphabet) or Romanian for the Moldova game, you may find places that will help. They have their official facebook page there: https://www.facebook.com/BulgarianNationalTeam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toje Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 A Bulgarian told me that the game will be shown in Bulgaria.
