No one touched my comments about hearing the Spanish teens chatting behind the goal the whole time, but I had a feed that was no commentary, just mikes. If I had been asked about that it could have been an even worse comment from me. But you left in the fact that he “strokes it hard”. I can only imagine what you edited.

Gian-Luca Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I don't hate running up the score since we have little choice to do so with the continually-ridiculous qualifying format for qualifying. I would have hated it if our players had celebrated like the US women's team when they ran up the score against Thailand (I think it was) in the last Women's World Cup, but thankfully our players didn't do that - obviously the players scoring their first goal for their country were excited, which is fine and natural but its not like we celebrated by running like madmen and pulling our jerseys over our heads when we hit double-digits. Gareth Wheeler was talking about how in the past games like this for Canada were not televised, well a large part of that is because games like this never existed, we would come in at a later stage of qualifying rather than this nonsense of playing against the mini-minnows. I know the theory is that this is to help out these tiny nations by letting them play more games but tough to see how a game like this practically helps a country like the Cayman Islands. Let the minnow countries play a shit-ton of games against themselves and let those that prove worthy of moving on to a higher level do so. That said, I am glad that we are having any matches since we haven't played in ages and barely had any friendlies in the past 3-4 years so I'll take it. But in principle WCQ should never have "how much can a team pummel a mini-minnow to death" as a factor at all. The fact that Concacaf's does means we have no choice but to run up the tally as much as possible.

SpecialK Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I’m really excited to see what they do about the Gold Cup.

toontownman Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I am pretty high on Johnston. He looked solid at Nashville. Will be a great battle with him and ZBG for that 2nd spot with Ritchie.

Got to feel for Cordova lol Cordova shot himself in the foot when he spent 6 months refusing call-ups because he was trying to remain a starter for Huachipato. And that failed. Also the Chilean league has gone way down in quality over the last few years. lamptern and Floortom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is good enough he would force his way in and move to a better league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, he doesn’t look as tall as I thought in that clip. The guy you can’t place is Cavallini, you can tell by his arms when he starts to throttle Gutierrez from behind at the end of the clip.

red card Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 All goals in one video. I don't mind all the goals because in Cayman Islands offshore accounting, it was only 3-0. Cheeta, JamboAl, Olympique_de_Marseille and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trc2014 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 It’s amazing that only Borjan had to leave today and this one makes sense given he wasn’t going to play. I would have bet we would have lost 5-6 guys. These guys want to be here and I really believe they have bought into Herdman’s system.

But its still a FIFA top flight, you can not say that about a local men's league in whatever city you choose. Toronto needs a top men's league like Vancouver does with the VMSL.
