God.  What arrogant twat.  If people question Herdman’s salesman role, at least he is more of team builder. This guy is like a bad used car salesman.

No problem with the CSA president. I've been around a long time and don't mind someone cheering for Canada soccer.

Does anyone have the message “video is disabled” for the pre game? 

I got it when I clicked on the program link. But if you just turn on the 24hr channel, it is there.

Hey my fellow V family! 

Sorry been absent from the board last little while, been a difficult past little bit for me and the board was becoming too much non footy and more covid, politics etc. etc. but seems like that has now passed :). 

Can you believe it!!!! A men's game & the journey begins!!!!!! 

Pumped with the gaffers selection. 

First step in a long journey! 

Let's go!!!!

Imagine what he is like actually watching a game.

He was my prof for 4th year business strategy at McMaster. He's a good prof, but imagine this energy at 8:30am after yet another all nighter spent working on your courses called 'Solid State Physics II' & 'Lasers and Electro-Optics'. It was exhausting.

Pretty clear that the only way Forge would accept the deal was if fans were at the game, they want it as a money spinner.

So the 2020 final is postponed, but does that necessarily mean that the 2021 edition is cancelled?

I appreciate his passion for soccer in Canada 

[Tyson M]

Not expecting much from Estaquio, hope he proves me wrong, but chemistry won't be there yet. Good to have games vs minnows to meld the squad together. 

 

Also hoping Corbeanu gets a run and maybe pokes one in late!?

It isn’t about cheering for CanSoc. The is about the bad excuse for a sell job and the focus he tried to put on himself as the grand architect.  

[Strait Red]

Bontis & Wheeler would be quite the conversation. Both hyperactive verbal diarrhoea types.

[Free kick]

For games like this (and for all the games in this rounds). The question is not whether Canada wins or not?   Its how they win.    The scoreline doesnt matter.   
 
a good win:

1) We score a goal in the first 20-25 mins of play. We perhaps go to half time with a 2-0 lead.  If the game ends 2-0 thats fine.  Even better if we get a third goal late in the second half.

2) We can shut it down after we have something like a 2-0 win. We dont concede lots of chances 

3) Goals needs to come off of the run of play. We cant have to rely on on PK’s or set pieces to win.  
 

4) we cant have to rely on fitness and prearation to win.  Like getting all our goals late in the game. In short we need to win and show our superior talent.  These countries in these groups are the same size as many small towns in canada. Their minnow.  We shouldnt worry. 

a bad win:

1) we get most of our goals late.  Even if we win 4-0, i consider it worrying if we cant beat them with our talent.  
2) if we get PK’s, fine but if we only win because of our profesionalism, prepartion and not talent;  Tahts worrying.  
3)  the games versus belize 2004 would be an example of bad wins.   We dominate and control the game and ultimately win 4-0.   But no one on our team could beat them for skill to creat the gaols

I don't jive with that type of personality usually. But I can appreciate that the role he has requires an almost impossible amount of energy to do well, so I am hoping it is positive for getting things done.

Seeing Atiba lead the boys out in that tracksuit warms my heart 

[narduch]

I'll take one of those Canada jackets.

One of his strengths is as a business development type speaker, so in his role at CSA if he can bring more money into CSA coffers, it doesn't matter to me if he sounds sleazy.

Didn’t know God Save the Queen was the Bermuda national anthem.

He is a well respected business and football guy from The Hammer, I think he'll do ok V's Cup fiasco aside!

[king1010]

Those jackets are pretty nice.
