tc-in-bc Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Possible conflict here. The CANWNT play on November 9, 2017 and the first round of the 2017 NCAA Division 1 Women's Soccer Championship begins on November 10, 2017: http://www.ncaa.com/championships/soccer-women/d1/road-to-the-championship What if a particular College Cup-bound school wants their players fresh for November 10th and not playing a match on November 9th? So if their respective schools are slated to play in the US national tournament then it's possible that Jessie Fleming (UCLA ), Rebecca Quinn ( Duke ) and Deanne Rose ( University of Florida ) may not be available for CANWNT match in Vancouver..

Not that I know what any particular athletic directors would choose to do here, but first round NCAA games for higher seeds (which one would imagine UCLA, Duke and Florida would all be) tend to be blowouts, so it's possible the schools would let them go (if Canada were to call them - there is also enough depth in the player pool just let them stay at their schools regardless).

tc-in-bc Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 [ 1 ] If those three schools are in the NCAA tournament and they're scheduled to play on November 10th, 2017 then there really isn't enough recovery time for the Canadians to play in both matches. It's either one or the other. [ 2 ] My sense, is that the US schools believe that their playoff matches are more important than Canada's friendly-- where nothing is really at stake. Furthermore, first round upsets do happen ( eg. SIUE vs Notre Dame last year). The fear for UCLA would be that they run into a hot goalkeeper ; they can't score a goal and their best weapon (Jessie Fleming) is unavailable because she's playing with Canada. [ 3 ] I think CANWNT's best 11 could get a result against the USWNT but take Fleming and Rose out of the mix ( both are starters who were key to Canada's 2016 bronze medal win ) then I think getting a result against the USWNT becomes more uncertain. Furthermore, I don't think Canada has the depth to replace Fleming and Rose and get an equal performance. Depth is one of the principle reasons why Canada has trouble beating the US. When teams begin subbing in fresh legs, Canada is subbing in kids who are amateurs (playing in school) whereas the US are subbing adults in their prime, playing professionally and often world class difference-makers.

red card Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 It isn't a FIFA window either. So, Lawrence & Buchanan may not be there. It's their Champions League window but ike the college cup scenario are likely to be blowouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc-in-bc Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 [ 1 ] Funny, the November 9 , 2017 and November 12, 2017 match dates work for the men's FIFA Calendar but clearly fall outside the November 20-28, FIFA dates for the women's FIFA calendar: http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/footballdevelopment/women/02/77/10/17/internationalwomenscalendar2017_2018_2019_neutral.pdf So possibly no Sophie Schmidt or Shannon Woeller , as well as Buchanan and Lawrence. [ 2 ] Looks like these matches with the US are like the 2015 Pan Am Games or the 2016 U20 WWC -- more about teaching/ player development and less about winning. [ 3 ] So potentially no Buchanan, Lawrence, Schmidt, Woeller, Fleming, Rose, and Quinn. This could get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc-in-bc Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 [ 1 ] Since the Damallsvenskan restart, Erin McLeod seems to have asserted herself as the number one keeper at Rosengard. Today Rosengard won the Svenska Cupen and Erin McLeod posted a clean sheet ! At 34 years of age is McLeod still in the goalie mix? Is she still viable for 2019/2020 ? More currently, will Erin Mcleod be part of one or both of CANWNT's matches again the USWNT? [ 2 ] Setting aside the FIFA date issue. Rosengard's schedule is problematic for Erin McLeod ( possibly Jenna Hellstrom as well if she gets a call up ). It is likely ( though not certain ) that Rosengard will be playing in the UWCL Round of 16 which is scheduled for November 8 -9, 2017. Additionally, Rosengard have two November league fixtures scheduled : November 4, 2017 Kvarnsveden vs Rosengard November 11, 2017 Rosengard vs Hammarby.

tc-in-bc Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 [ 1 ] Setting aside the FIFA date issue, 1 FFC Frankfurt and Sophie Schmidt have Wolfsburg on November 11, 2017. Frankfurt may want to keep all their players for that one. [ 2 ] I don't recall seeing the senior CANWNT get a victory over the USWNT ever , in the Christine Sinclair era. Not in person, not on television, not on an internet stream. In fact, is there any video evidence of the senior CANWNT getting a victory over the USWNT in the Christine Sinclair era? In this calendar year alone, I have seen both England and Australia get victories over the USWNT. Admittedly, I'm jealous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M467Z9M9y4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faS0NuD8DBU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, it wasn't the Sinclair era, because well she was still a teen. There is probably video evidence of that. http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2014/03/17/12/14/u-s-women-to-celebrate-year-of-success-with-three-game-three-city-glory-tour http://canadasoccer.com/?gid=586&t=match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc-in-bc Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I don't think many Canadians saw that match live. ESPN is not Canadian broadcaster; the 8600 fans in Crew Stadium, Columbus were probably mostly Americans; and in the year 2000, the CANWNT were still toiling away anonymously in public obscurity. Personally, I'd love to see the ESPN footage of that match ( the whole match would be even better! ) Maybe it's buried somewhere on YouTube or maybe it needs to be uploaded. Who knows? But I've never seen Sinclair's group beat the USWNT live, and any Canadian who saw that match in 2000 live, basically " won the lottery" . It's that rare.

tc-in-bc Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 [ 1 ] Melissa Tancredi and Desiree Scott interview on the For Kicks Podcast: https://forkickspodcast.com/2017/10/27/for-kicks-podcast-episode-32-chat-with-desiree-scott-and-melissa-tancredi/ - Desiree Scott quote taken from the For Kicks Podcast beginning at the 10:12 mark: " We're having our camp October 28 .. .we all get together. So the majority of the squad will be there. There's still some things they're working out with the European players 'cause we're dealing with FIFA dates and stuff. So hopefully, we can get those players in, but if not, we're going to have a solid squad ... the core group there. And hopefully we get the job done. " [ 2 ] I got to wonder about a CANWNT' back line if Kadeisha Buchanan is not there and the USWNT have so much pace on their team : Alex Morgan, Christen Press, Lynn Williams, Mallory Pugh. ( Crystal Dunn is fast but Chelsea Ladies are probably not going to let her go outside a FIFA date ) [ 3 ] Side note: Sydney LeRoux 's regular season stats ( 6 goals, 2 assists, 14 points ) on a bad FCKC team may not be good enough for a USWNT call up but she's only 2 points behind Sinclair and 4 points behind Leon.

Blackdude Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Wondering if Geneviève Richard and Ashley Lawrence would be available for the match. Yes, it's not a FIFA date, but they aren't in Champions' League and the cup matches don't start until January for D1 clubs. If I'm Herdman, I'm calling Patrice Lair and Christophe Parra to see if it's possible. I think seeing that Steph Labbé is with the team would mean probably no for Richard though.

Lord Bob Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Interestingly, I saw today that the American Outlaws are holding their pregame at Doolin's, our usual pre-game spot, and appear to be following our usual marching route. Given that this is Vancouver I'm sure there will be some actual away support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack15 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I'm surprised that there only been about 23,500 tickets sold for this match! Thought it would be way more for a USA-Canada rivalry BC Place has sold out for the World Cup in 2015, I'm sure a lot of people will come the day of and the attendance wil be much larger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc-in-bc Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 A mistake in a TSN graph: Christine Sinclair credited with 91 fewer caps, and 91 more goals scored ! ( I could live with that.)
