I know my answer. On a soccer board focused on soccer in this country I think we know the answer. If it had been a best on best tournament in Beijing, I think a lot of people would have been pissed if we lost to Sweden in the quarters, but the expectation there would be gold or bust. It’s all relative, as expectations in winning World Cup are next to zero. Maybe a would you be pissed if we didn’t get out of the group stage would be a better comparison?

I know my answer. I think I'd be more pissed off if Jennifer Jones lost to Sweden in the semi finals than this men's hockey team. That being said 1000x more SAD if Canada lost to Sweden in Qatar. scullion44, Kent and Greatest Cockney Rip Off 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 So, Sweden's B- team beat our M+ team in the quarterfinals of the Olympic hockey tournament. Is anybody really bothered? If their A football side beat our A football side, it'd be a much more disappointing, if mostly expected, result.

Jedi Ram Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 BTW, what is up with FIFA keeping the WC Draw procedures till the last minute ? I really hope that they do not spring any kind of surprises or do some major deviration from 2018 WC Draw. We do not even know when it will be held , either on April 1 or April 3 due to various sources. sstackho, narduch and Free kick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's disappointing because this will mean that the draw will be held on a workday, not on a weekend. And in the North American time zones it will likely mean that its on in the morning or afternoon. 😒 I seem to recall that past worlds cup, we were always able to watch the draw in the daytime and we were always home from work (i.e.: on a weekend).

gigi riva Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 If any one has BEIN sport they have a weekly show called The Road To Qatar I believe. In this show they show the venues were the the matches will be played plus they also show a very different side of Qatar and to be honest it really opened my eyes and has given me a different perspective on that land . Sure I still think there was coruption in obtaining that bid, Canada Soccer Fan for over 40 years.

Most recents have been on weekdays. Russia, Brasil, South Africa & Germany draws were held on Fridays or Tuesday. If they did it on weekends, it would be competing against all the league action happening in Europe.

Sure I still think there was coruption in obtaining that bid, Perhaps. There is no doubt there are always two sides to any story, including the corruption side of things with the awarding of the world cup. There are two sides to also the stories of working conditions for stadium builders (workers) such as the culpability of personnel agencies in foreign countries and their role in the deaths. Even the number of deaths is open to debate. However, its worth pointing out that BEIN Sports (formerly Al; Jazeera) is a Qatari owned Sports TV chain. so we also have to keep this in mind.

EJsens1 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) With all the sanctions coming down, UEFA removing the champions league final from Moscow, would FIFA consider disqualifying Russia from qualifying/the World Cup? Conversely, if they don’t, would NATO countries not allow their own teams to go? I’m not trying to open Pandora’s box here about the political aspect (I assume almost everyone would be in agreement here as to who is in the wrong) but this has the possibility to get really messy Edit..apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere Edited February 25, 2022 by EJsens1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiFA literally forced us to travel to Haiti last June. That never should have happened. The 3 nations drawn in Russia's playoff group have issued a statement that they refuse to travel to Russia. johnyb, lamptern, gator and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
