Dominic94 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I hope Sirois is selected, maybe it’s been a rough patch but Montreal isn’t good and MLS starting by goalie is better than a 24 year old playing against U-23 or U21… if Owen Goodman was selected I could be more understanding, but even then. Sirois is playing at a higher level than the guys we claim are above him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real talk though, we still don't have an agreement with the players right? Is this tournament potentially just going to put another log on the fire/dispute? One more thing the players and CSA will have to try to agree on, potentially after the fact. Ivan and costarg 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem to flare up whenever the team has matches. So I fully expect to hear about it again next week. Kent, Ivan and Canuckia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Blue can make short work of it. The fact that it only seems to flare up (maybe just coverage of it flares up?) around camps and tournaments reinforces my belief that it's a distraction for the team. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it only flares up around camps/tournaments is because that's when the players get together, and it's more convenient for them to talk and to talk with the CSA. And while the conclusion on the Westhead Copa article was wrong (ie we'll go bankrupt), it did at least seem to indicate there's already an agreement in place for this and the prize money here would be enough to cover it.

Obinna Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Fun video making a combined best XI for each group. I can take screenshots of the other groups if anyone is interested, but for now will just include group A, which is obviously of interest to us. The rule was no more than 3 players per team, so you couldn't have 11 Argentines, for example. Anyway, these were the picks: Nello, Borjans Sweatpants, Kent and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not immediately obvious, but the cap at 3 for a team ensures you will always have 3 from 3 teams and 2 from the other team. We weren't his 2 player team though!

Neil R. Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I'm not suggesting this will be us (I don't think it will be), but with Group A and B staying on the same side of the knockout stage bracket, A2 is going to get to the quarter-final and still not have had to face any of Brazil, Uruguay, or Colombia.

It's literally a toss up, as Chile is still holding onto a generation that is past them... and Peru is Peru, respectfully.

They really should flip at some point, whether QF or SF. We could (and likely would if we make it that far) play Argentina again in the SF. Would rather play someone different than play the same team twice. Kent, TGAA_Star and costarg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
