Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I doubt we will get more than a handful of die hard fans, but if we want people to be in the same section, @JamboAl let us know if the CSA decides to set up a code on Ticketmaster or has a specific section for Houston.

JamboAl Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I can raise the issue of away games but at this time, they are too busy with the two games in BC so will touch base with them in a couple of weeks. Olympique_de_Marseille 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they somehow fall behind the Central American teams that made it? Yup! The main group of players that played in the WWC were boycotting because they weren't paid. Jamaica had to play with a B squad and crashed out of qualifying. A great opportunity for Panama and Guatemala.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 For that first game, I would love to see Lysianne Proulx get her first cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Yeah, probably the strongest Pot 4 team in our group, but we avoided Mexico (I don't know if either Panama or Costa Rica is any better than the other), and according to the Copa America results, Paraguay is the weakest of the Pot 3 teams. Good draw for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other Pot 4 teams are a step below. I think the winner of Guyana/D.R. would be weaker than the winner of Guatemala/El Salvador but not getting Haiti gives us a matchup that should allow us to experiment. rkomar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 29 minutes ago, red card said: A banger in Champions League action. Maybe beats out Lacasse for Canada women goal of the year. Her 14th goal of the year and 5th in UWCL. A crucial 1-0 win for Benfica against Frankfurt since Barcelona likely has the top spot in the group locked down. 10.8k watching is largest crowd to watch a Portuguese women side. What a banger! But the assist was brilliant too. I hope we get to see Alidou play at the Gold Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkomar Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 There are only seven forwards on the final roster, and it's hard to see who would be replaced by Alidou if she was invited. There are more deserving players than positions, which is good for the CWNT, but not so good for some players. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) In Priestman's presser, she said one of Reid's parents is from Ottawa. She's super passionate about the Canadian connection. We tracked her last year and with our new shape, she could have a bigger place. We have to start planning beyond the Olympics. Megan has certain qualities that remind me a little bit of Vanessa Gilles (believe they played together at ACFC). Proflle articles say her mother passed away when she was 7 and her father died in 2017. She passed on NWSL draft to train to become a fire fighter as that was the decision made with her father. Riviere: Our medical teams have been working on info for Jayde to confirm she can be with us.. fingers crossed. There is chance she may not be with us. Beckie/Scott: We had to take a bigger picture perspective with both Janine and Desi. Janine has been integrating in with us, but isn't tournament ready yet. This will be Desi's opportunity to integrate. Rose/Larisey: Both were injured but both have something. When I look at our WC struggles, it was our in-behind play that we lacked. Clarissa with us has always done well, and I'm excited to see her back in. Deanne is gradually getting minutes at club again. BSG: I think for Bianca, and I said this to her, it's consistency. She's either going to absolutely change your game...changing clubs, that might help too with whether she's a FB, winger, WB. It's consistency to do the basics well at our level. On Alidou: Mimi has done really well at Benfica. She's had some great performances. I obviously watched her against Barcelona. I have an agreement with Mimi she needs to be assessed in the position she plays at club. In the 23 players, there's a lot of players in that sort of front 3 positions. I think Mimi's been in with us regularly in the midfield and she did a great job for us. If we get one injury, she's in this squad. I think there's a reality in the way that we're playing in the midfield and what we need. It's different that maybe what Mimi brings when she is looked at as an midfielder. So, I think it's just the overall frontline depth and what she's doing versus the players that we have in. If she comes in with us, it's going to be in the frontline with a backup role of midfield. Priestman could have easily slotted Alidou as a forward for Canada as she has been in better form this season than all of them ex Viens and Lacasse where it can be said they could be on par. But as seen with Lacasse, Priestman seems to take a go slow approach in integrating late bloomers while the top young players are fast forwarded to senior team camps. Priestman could have also dropped one of 8 backline players selected like Carle for Alidou. Arrival Times: 14 players out-of-season like NWSL will participate in pre-camp Feb 12-18. Players in Europe will arrive closer towards the start of the W Gold Cup Feb 18-19. Edited February 7 by red card rkomar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
