Projection, you're the one who put "dickhead" in italics, bold and red. Still didn't answer me though: when did Canada not make the GC so you didn't have to watch us in it?

To be fair, I was hearing the heart of what he was trying to say. Probably just wasn’t articulating it properly. Completely lost me when I read the qualifying to the GC part. Shows he literally just started following Canada soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happened to have one team that I fall back on when Canada is out: Italy because my parents are from there. In 2018 Italy didn't make it to the WC. Guess what? I rooted for Croatia because I enjoyed their play. Jeeze, man, this board is full of fanatics and I don't mean the fan types. That’s not really the point anyone is trying to make. Sure, you can root for Italy in the Euro or World Cup when Canada aren’t there. I do the same for England. That doesn’t mean that you “didn’t have anything to root for” for Canada. You can root for them during WCQ, GC, friendlies. That’s literally the point of this board and of the Voyageurs in general. If we only rooted for Canada when they’re at the WC, the forum would literally not exist. Pottsy3 and Ivan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Only 79 countries have ever even made the world cup. Should all remaining countries abandon their teams and programs? The biggest component of this problem are the people who throw on a jersey every 4 years, support nothing here and claim to be the biggest soccer fans in the world and lord it over people like us. You can't even have a conversation with them about soccer, it always devolves into bullshit. (not suggesting this is you) If Italy sucked, College street would be very quiet. We suck, and still wear the jersey. There is a difference between people who love the game, and those who love an identity that also happens to win....

Most definitely, I don't know why guys are acting like they don't support another European/UK team when the WC comes around. It's okay to be a Canada soccer fanatic and have a your fall back(ancestral) nation. Not everyone is lucky to have that. For me when the WC comes around and I'm asked by the brand new soccer fanatics who I'm supporting....it's usually Brazil for no other reason than the style of play/players. Again I just think Sal articulated himself wrong, and spewed out bullshit which lost his main point. But I heard it.

It's funny because throughout this discussion, I can only think of teams that I cheer against when I watch the World Cup. For 90 minutes I am the biggest fan of whichever country is playing England, France, Italy, Brazil, Argentina or Spain. kacbru, An Observer and MtlMario 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree - I live and die by the Samurai Blue in the WC because of my heritage, but the team I follow the most by far is Canada. The nice part is that the idea of them playing against each other has always been purely hypothetical. So it's not hard to root for both.

An Observer Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Yeah. I follow and cheer for Belgium as I am married to a Belgian and I like the fact they are a small overachieving nation but I am fanatical about Canada. ps as Belgium is now on the decline, I am going to have to get divorced and marry someone from the next up and coming small overachieving nation.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 It is cliché but one of great things about being Canadian is you can be Canadian and still respect/support/enjoy things from other nations. In my situation, I would probably have little or no interest in soccer/football without my extended family/heritage. So as much as they are a hard group to be a part of sometimes, I feel I need to support English football at points and not just my club. (When England is also out, I tend to go for who hasn't won the given trophy etc.) That said, if there ever comes a day in my lifetime when England and Canada fire football shots in anger, I would be Canada through and through. And would I lord it over some people if we came away with something. Brethers8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I support Spain as well but if it's against Canada, depends on the sport. Soccer both male and female I support Canada. If it were hockey (?) it'd be the underdog. For water-polo or basketball, I often look at which team I want to progress or I think has a medal chance, for example. Clubs, Caps, Barça and then I pick and choose. If 3 semifinalists of MLS were the Canadian teams, better. Let Real Madrid lose always, even training. Dislike Bayern Munich and PSG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
