Unnamed Trialist Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 6 hours ago, prairiecanuck said: We're going to find out if he plays against Uruguay! True, but this is the first call up in years without Luís Suárez. Then Cavani is in decline. True, they have some good CBs in the air who could hurt us with headers. Just saying, it is not the most dangerous Uruguay in attack, but what I like about that friendly is that they play in tension and competitively for 90 minutes. Also, if they are taking 40 to the camp in Austria, that means guys are competing for a spot. Goes both ways: either we could find ourselves against some guys less proven, or they could all be playing their guts out and putting a foot in, meaning Richie is going to have to take three or four cards in his mean stare role.

But usually Uruguay is a tough team first, physical and competitive. Then you add the talent of strikers, who often are physically powerful as well. I was thinking they may have dropped a bit but I am probably not right. PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinceA Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Oh wow then it's not based on Canadian law. I'm assuming then Jamaica hasn't recruited anyone since 2019 with a Jamaican grandparent, as that's how they've gotten people in the past.

"His grandmother or grandfather was born on the territory of the relevant association;" I was also wrong it was Sept 2020 the big changes came.

Ally McCoist Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Time to move this thread to World Soccer. Losing Mitrovic AND Tom Holmes in the same week is a huge blow. Although technically we didn't "lose" Holmes, we just got blue balled to death. WestHamCanadianinOxford and johnyb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree if that wasn't his normal posting style. I know having to live and die in social media these days is tough, but I can do without, "as I told you" most every post. My club has bunch that do it too - I just want the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I think members of the media should be a little less sensitive. Same with sports reporters who think any disagreement is a personal attack on them.
