Robert Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Okay. Let's try things on this side of the fence, and only because the CSA today puts on such great international soccer spectacles like the recent mouth-watering exhibition against New Zealand. So, speaking of the Canadian Men's National Team, here's Robert's first contribution since moving over to the greener side of the fence (I'd rather be green and growing, than ripe and rotten). This is the first in a series of photographs I'll post, depending on how well they are received: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 For anyone else like me that is curious, that photo must be from 1957. I looked up results and it was a World Cup qualifier at Varsity stadium. 7,567 fans in attendance. https://www.canadasoccer.com/?gid=36&t=game_summary_soccer_new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Is it just me or does it look like the guy in the top right corner had his hat drawn on. And the guy on the top left kind of looks like he was photoshopped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 I was was going to post more photographs of Canada's first World Cup venture, but I'll quit posting them if Kent, BuzzAndSting or others don't like them. Maybe the CSA can provide you with better quality photographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Yeah, seems like a timely comment. Bad bad news guys, a Canadian won the CCL Golden Boot this week.

Kent Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 7 hours ago, Robert said: Who won the CCL Golden Boot five years ago? Nicolas Munoz from Panama and Carlos Quintero from Colombia. What's your point? Just to make sure you didn't get the number of years ago wrong, I'll check all the golden boot winners. 2009 - Javier Orozco (Mexico) 2010 - Ulises Mendivil (Mexico) 2011 - Javier Orozco (Mexico) 2012 - Oribe Peralta (Mexico), Humberto Suazo (Chile) 2013 - Nicolas Munoz (Panama), Carlos Quintero (Colombia) 2014 - Raul Nava (Mexico) 2015 - Dario Benedetto (Argentina), Oribe Peralta (Mexico) 2016 - Emanuel Villa (Argentina) 2017 - Hirving Lozano (Mexico) So yeah, I don't get what your point is with your question. Maybe your point was that Panama had a Golden Boot winner and they have done nothing since then (assuming you don't count qualifying for this years World Cup as an accomplishment, even though I would count that as a pretty important accomplishment).

Thanks for doing all that research, Kent. It proves my point exactly, because the fact is you had to look it up! Winning the golden boot really means jack-shit, because a week after doing so nobody remembers your name. However, I will always remember the name of the guy who missed a wide-open goal in the final-minute against Chivas, which had he scored would have made Toronto FC the first non-Mexican club to win the Champions League!

However, I will always remember the name of the guy who missed a wide-open goal in the final-minute against Chivas, which had he scored would have made Toronto FC the first non-Mexican club to win the Champions League! That's quite the terrible take away. Just because people may not remember the golden boot winners doesn't make it a meaningless accomplishment (and I would argue that many Canadians will remember that Osorio won the CCL golden boot this year, just like we remember who won the 2000 and 2017 Gold Cup golden boots even if we can't remember any others). Here's a different takeaway from my research. CCL Golden Boot winners have come from Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Panama, Italy (counting Giovinco here, since I was finding ties for other years as well), and Canada. Those are some fantastic soccer nations, plus a pretty strong regional rival (Panama) that we are grouped together with. That's an accomplishment and it's good news, not bad bad news.
