I swear I’m tech savvy. But I noticed before that it wouldn’t let me do that for whatever reason.

Maybe the Internet wants you to learn French. 😅

Might be early for starting XI talk but. based on form, and guys who are playing, I think we see this.

Davies ----------David---------------Buchanan
Kone--------Atiba-------------Eustaqiuo
Adekugbe----Miller----Vitoria--------Johnston

I'm betting the surprise call up might be Loturi

[narduch]

I bet Atiba skips the March window.

He'll be there for the NL finals though.

Just renovate the damn thing already or blow it up

Get a load of this guy, thinking that things can simply be "renovated" or "built" in Montreal.

I too get the feeling Atiba and Vitoria are going to come in for the March window, but if not:

Osorio for Atiba

Waterman or Henry for Vitoria

This will be interesting to see who gets the call for RCB in absence of Vitoria.

 

[InglewoodJack]

Just realized that the last scheduled event at the Big O before Nations league is a CFM game about a week prior, so it would already be configured for soccer...

[Shway]

Sooo I wonder....When these tickets will go on sale.

Are they trying to wait till everyones Canada RED/WHITE/BLACK/GOLD memberships have expired?
Are they deliberating on where it will be played?

Not for game 1 in Curaçao!

Apparently Raheem Edwards is also suspended for this match (according to Gareth Wheeler). The CSA obviously know who got the cards post-match but haven't shared it with us regular folks. 🙄

[Olympique_de_Marseille]

For our next home game against Honduras,  the CSA has yet to inform the Honduran FA where the match will be played.

Apparently the deadline for the CSA to give them this information is this Saturday, January 28th. By the end of the month, if a location isn't officially announced by the CSA, I expect we will know what city the match will be played in via the Honduran media.

Honduras still want to play a friendly before facing us and they expect that our team will be almost exactly what they faced this past June as well as our tactics to be the same.

We'd need to flood the field in order to play the same way.

Facts 🤣.

How could they take anything (other than the W) is beyond me.

That was a shit show.

Yeah, my thinking was along these lines. It looked like our tactics were to ignore that there are clearly unplayable parts of the pitch and to keep dribbling into giant puddles that take the ball off of us.

[RJB]

Shouldn't they announce a location for the home game?  Or did I miss something?

There's a video floating around of a Honduran who took a video of the on field shenanigans that happened after the game. Raheem Edwards was given a red.

Thanks for the link.

In this video, which is a compilation, we see one red card given and one yellow.

It isn't clear if the yellow is to Borjan or Adekugbe (it is to one of the two, right?!?) and I couldn't see clearly who got the red (but you are saying that is the moment Edwards got the red).

I recall the OneSoccer post match feed from a distance showing more cards than just those two.

Now things make even less sense because the CONCACAF report has a yellow card for Quioto which Soccerway omits.

Unlike CONCACAF, Soccerway includes a yellow for Jonathan David and a red for Raheem Edwards.

[MM3/MM2/MM]

Escobar is famous for the # of cards he shows in games, he had the Wales/Iran game and didn't get any further games in the World Cup when he showed a yellow instead of an obvious red to Hennessey.

As expected, Honduran media confirm the match will be at BMO Field in Toronto!

Tuesday, March 28th.

https://www.diez.hn/laseleccion/fenafuth-confirma-amistoso-seleccion-de-honduras-previo-al-choque-de-nations-league-contra-canada-EL11924088

Honduras will play a friendly match a few days prior in Los Angeles, the opponent is TBD and will be announced on Tuesday but it is expected to be against Peru.

Honduras will also have two camps for their locally-based players in February.

Man our federation is such trash!

I have been following the nat team since the gold cup win, and closely since the wc cycle that ended with the Honduras debacle. 

Has there ever been a period before when our federation has not been trash? Like, organized or somewhat transparent?

It seems like any momentum / goodwill from the World Cup has been squandered already. As opposed to building on it, seems like they just decided to sit on their “laurels”.
