narduch Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) I know everyone's on a high but Canada's quarter final match will be this Saturday at 6pm in Houston. Hopefully the heat and humidity aren't an issue. Edited June 24, 2019 by narduch cronaldo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of dudes that the CPL should have gone for in filling their international quotas instead of the journeymen Englishman some teams opted to sign.

MLS teams have attempted to sign him twice, the first time Seattle signed him in 2014 and then he suffered a season-ending injury in preseason and wasn't resigned. The second time he was signed by Sporting Kansas City toward the end of the 2017 season, but the transfer didn't go through because of a technicality. Since Martinique isn't a FIFA member signing a player from there requires an ITC from the French federation, but since the Martinique league isn't professional and FFF rules forbid amateur players from signing abroad outside of a transfer window the request was denied by the FFF. I don't know why he hasn't had any offers abroad since, but he no doubt makes some money playing in Martinique, so signing him wouldn't be completely trivial.

Even if a cold front moves through Houston breaking a 125 year record low it's still going to be brutal Might even make Cav sweat a little. It's going to be that bad. narduch and rightback 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 On 6/23/2019 at 1:00 PM, red card said: Some people on this board questioned Herdman's sizzle. Maybe they were clueless because they haven't followed closely what he has done with the women's team and how he has a high standing in Canadian corporate circles as a motivational guru. Herdman has the qualities of a visionary corporate CEO who finally instills a firm wide culture in what was previously a rudderless operation with high turnover, low commitment and inability to attract/spot high quality talent. And if he stays long enough, it is designed to stay after he leaves. Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but weren't you a big voice in questioning Herdman when he was given the job? I didn't ever watch the video, but I remember this quote and another from you at the time.

The reason why it sticks out is because I was surprised it came from you, since I know you are a big supporter of the women's game (more so than me). To be fair, this was when the news was super fresh. Maybe once you had some time to digest what had happened you cooled down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Lots of records have been mentioned in the media, but I haven't seen this one. Most total goals in a Gold Cup tournament for Canada. The previous best was 9 goals in 2007 (10 if you ignore BS offside calls). Canada is at 12 goals this year. apbsmith, CanadaFan123, Ivanovski94 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody mentioned it on this forum, but yeah, I haven't seen that reported in the media yet. We actually scored more goals yesterday than we did in the previous 3 Gold Cups combined. Part of this is because the 6 goals we scored in the 2013, 2015 and 2017 Gold Cups were all scored in 2017, as our 6 centre-backs-per-game didn't score under Floroball in 2015 and De Jong hitting the cross-bar against Mexico was as close as we got to a goal with a B team without a coach in 2013. And we only scored 2 in 2011 so if Cavallini had scored the PK we would have equaled our totals for the previous 4 Gold Cups in one game....

VinceA Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 One cool thing that we are about to have is multiple active players on our pool will have double digits in goals. Cavs and JD with 9 atm, and Larin is at 8. Hoilett is at 6. Before that all we had was Ricketts at 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I just want say and I dont care what anyone says I love Vic Reuters His call is the best and his new signature "Have a goooooo" puts a smile on my face every time. Too bad it didnt go in but that one sequence yesterday when the ball was knocking around when he called " sit down, sit down, sit doooowwwn" would have been phenomenal.

Yeah, I'm hoping someone is ready to update this wiki page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_men's_national_soccer_team_records_and_statistics Tomas Radzinski and Paul Peschesolido were great players for us. They each got 10 goals, Radz in 46 games, Pesch in 53 games. David is at 9 goals in 7 games. I know, minnows and all that, but it's still crazy.

Not sure how/why they could have him in their squad if he didn't switch to begin with. He was undergoing the process of a switch, filled out the necessary paperwork, but then decided not to complete the final document. So presumably Honduras was able to include him on the grounds that the process for a switch had been triggered? I would have assumed such a switch must be officially completed, but perhaps there is some grey area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David and Cavallini will both break the scoring record, and even Junior Hoilett is on 6 goals now. I think he will also surpass Radz/Pesch.
