Friendly - June 10, 2019 - Canada v Trinidad and Tobago

[CanadaFan123]

Anyone remember the last Canada match with zero coverage? I believe it was January 2008 v Martinique but could be wrong.

Then again, the CSA didn’t pretend like they weren’t playing at all.  11 years later and here we are..

I'm confused. Is this game currently happening?

Jebus.

This was supposed to be an ongoing fake running commentary on a game we can't watch.

 

[CanadaFan123]

The only thing fake is Hutchinson’s age... the man is playing striker today like he’s 23 again.

Bah gawd, it's Ali Gerba's music. Stunner on Larin, stunner on Cavallini. He starts the match and scores two goals.

T&T faces Canada in a closed-door match on Monday at 3pm (6pm TT time) as both teams continue their preparations for the Gold Cup. T&T captain Khaleem Hyland spoke about the state of the team less than two weeks ahead of the opening clash with Panama in Minnesota.

 

Found this on the TTFA website

I saw this thread and was pissed that I was missing it - especially since I am skipping out this afternoon anyway to catch the Women's game. 

Boooooo...

This thread was a waste of my time.

It’s totally normal to not announce matches, I used to follow the Cook Islands and it happened all the time.

Cool, now our social media department can be compared to the Cook Islands team.

Somehow there’s still a steel drum band at halftime.. as is tradition of course.

Don't think he will be playing there the whole game though.  Probably move him up field later.

This is clearly an experiment and not long term.

This is a cruel cruel joke.

[Bison44]

Holy crap Billy Ocean is singing with the halftime band......

[LeoH037]

Okello starting as GK? Damn, it all makes sense now

[Gian-Luca]

Guys, you are ruining the CSA's plan to defeat Mexico by ensuring that they can't possibly scout us ahead of time as we refuse to play any games in public or provide any details about the match that anyone can possibly glean anything from. If we're left in the dark, then so is Mexico, don't you see? This is why the first match against Martinique will also be played under closed doors.

Herdman will then send a letter and a TedTalk video to Mexico about our performance against T&T, but only once injury time in the 2nd half against Mexico has started.

MOBILLLIIOOOOOO!!!

Its nice that Gerry Dobson came out of retirement to call one more big game for CMNT.

Where has that man been?  Did he retire from following the CMNT? 

[CanadaFan123]

In all seriousness though, if you have a twitter account make some noise in the comments of Canada soccer and onesoccer about the handling of this game.  The more light we can shine on this the better chance it never happens again.

Nice article about him a while back. Hes living with his wife in California, loving the retired life. Says he doesnt pay much attention to soccer anymore.

Did he ever?

 

I jest.

This is the best thread ever.  

It’s good to see Borjan rocking the Toni Lettieri baggy track pants.

[Ams1984]

So, is this match not going to be on OneSoccer at 6?

[dyslexic nam]

I am curious if the secrecy will extend to never telling us how it went.

[Ams1984]

FYI this game appears to be happening at 6PM LA time, or 9PM EST.
