Olympique_de_Marseille Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Alex said: The venue for the Suriname match should be announced shortly. This is due one month before the game starts as that is what was stated before the March window. I remember reading something similar but I can't find it. Nothing about the deadline for venues here: https://img.fifa.com/image/upload/ytkbpnxyvcghx6bebesv.pdf Dean Gorré, the Suriname coach has confirmed the match will be hosted in the USA. (Apologies, I used the auto-captions on YouTube and am not fluent in Dutch, if anybody is willing to correct the text, please do so) Skip to around 8min45secs RBN Suriname interviewer: Begrip dat nu toe dat er nog niet bepaalde zware in die wedstrijd tegen Canada spelen want dat kan Amerika worden van kan Canada ook nog stellen voor beloofde? Dean Gorré: Nee ... *something* hell duidelijk is dat het Amerika wordt. RBN Suriname interviewer: Ja, van vanwege COVID wat ik las gisteren nog dat COVID de hand is gelopen in Canada vooral in de stad Ontario jogens het uit de hand gelopen dus komt het als beter uit als we in Amerika speler Canada Dean Gorré: Ja, beter Amerika maar dan is er zullen ook een uitrust reed en natuurlijke tussen naar het thuisvoordeel want ze de man zo leren en dat dodelijk goed.

narduch Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 There is definitely some leeway due to covid. Caymans took forever to confirm the location for our match. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that I am happy that some form of a scintilla of moderation has returned, All well-intentioned comments should be treated with respect by fellow members, no matter what the difference of opinion or even if they are black-and-white wrong. Caustic comments should not be given, even if they are from some exceptionally knowedgeable posters who seem to be given a pass at civility. Saying that, I have to say I enjoy the expression "Captain Obvious", but will only use it in a different circle of friends in contexts where the good nature would not be mistaken. By the way,let's stop majking disparaging comments about grammar or spelling. A lot of posters here are non-native English users, and they often have some excellent insights.

Shway Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 2 hours ago, soccer.shocker said: Sorry to say but no chance Pasher gets called ahead of Millar (who knows all the tactical systems and is well integrated into the culture) for WCQ. Gold Cup sure give him a look but no chance for WQC. But with a squad that big, chances are he won't get in the game. Reason why I showed two teams. So it's an opportunity for a new guy from the 80+ player database to understand the system/tactics....lackthereof. The only game we'll see some rotation is Aruba....and that game is the 1st of potential 4., so it'll be very limited. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you're coming from and I'm probably one of the biggest offenders when it comes to disagreeing with others' viewpoints...and I've been reprimanded a few times before and haven't had a problem with it. But this was slightly unnecessary especially considering what is to come from said poster. In the end it's all good...not a big deal.

The NWSL has also avoided scheduling matches at Exploria in Orlando during the FIFA window: https://www.nwslsoccer.com/news/article/nwsl-announces-full-2021-regular-season-schedule These WCQ matches are looking very Florida. At this point I am expecting Aruba @ IMG and Suriname @ Exploria in Orlando. Edited May 5, 2021 by Olympique_de_Marseille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
