Quick google search shows return flights leaving the morning of the 22nd and returning the next afternoon for $284 CAD, pretty good. https://goo.gl/flights/Rw78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's funny to read the Scottish supporters comments about this match. They are not pleased that we are being used as prep. I hope we assemble as serious team and actually challenge them in some way. If we send a similar squad to Scotland as we did to Bermuda we will get whalloped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, I'd absolutely love to beat them. Well, I'd love to beat them anyway, but you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right here's the quote “I think we have a camp in March but I don’t think it is for a full squad. “I believe they are looking to take an U/23 squad, so I probably won’t be involved in any internationals throughout the rest of the season. 12 minutes ago, Keegan said: I think you're confusing it with the team in Qatar.

Floortom Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Sending an U23 team to face a relatively premium opponent would be incredibly stupid. We would get humiliated and lose out on valuable experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It would be such a CSA thing to do though. Train U23 squads up until we actually need our squad in 2019 and then leave off all the good players that you trained/needed and crash out of Olympic qualifying. GENIUS. ASSUMING we're not complete morons (do you think even the US would bring a U23 squad to Scotland?). We could actually bring a pretty good team that could actually get a result here.

I know finlay wants to check out the u23 guys in more detail but i hope he uses this camp to give a lot of the euro guys a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C. Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Funny thing is that the CSA article on the match has a photo of Marcus on it. This release sure sounds like a full senior squad match to me. Marcus' quote (which I read as well) doesn't make sense. http://www.canadasoccer.com/canada-to-face-scotland-away-in-march-friendly-match-p160351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem very FIFA official to me. Kinda hard to be FIFA Games when FIFA was only founded May 21 of that year and only included France, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland at the time of the football competition. FIFA didn't have anything to do with the Olympic tournament until 1924. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he won't and shouldn't but it would be hilarious to see their reactions to him celebrating his goals like he won the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
