Kent Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'm encouraged by their draw. It was the group I was hoping for them to get. I hope they can make it to the knockout round. hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addona Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 It's definitely the most interesting group, where all 4 teams are close-ish in level ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi44 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Should be a fun group to follow, with some great games! Monaco and Porto I'd assume are the favourites... Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hard to predict a winner from that group. Whatever teams have the most depth will probably advance. Not super familiar with any of these teams, but my hunch is that Porto has the best depth. I have been surprised at times to see them rotate Hererra, Layun and Corona (3 Mexican internationals btw). On the other hand, I think Besiktas are overly reliant on their starters, and I imagine RB Leipzig are as well. Porto, Monaco, Besiktas, RB Leipzig in that order.

SpecialK Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) I'm sure people have seen this, but this just makes me sad and pissed. Hutch's sister is right ! That stadium should be packed! HUTCH is back ! Let's give him so much support that he's forced him to stay. its so sad that a Players sister has to go on twitter to get people to come and see Canada's Sr. National team! Hey TO soccer fans. Montreal embarrassed the country with their attendance against Curaçao, it's time to step up, don't let the country down.

Bison44 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Why does this made you sad and pissed SpecialK? Does she know something we dont? Have we heard something about low turnout etc? Games not until saturday, lots of tickets to be bought I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 12000 for a friendly would be decent, especially since they arent marketing it as a send off game for Atiba. If anyone should be angrily tweeting it should be family of Stalteri, he is getting inducted into the Hall of fame. A_Gagne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 ^ CSA has been tweeting that Hutchinson will be honoured before the match. That's a pretty good indication of what this match is for Atiba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the stadium expansion it held 20k, including the upper section on the west side, and including the north side stands which are gone now.
