This should please UT in theory, but somehow I have the feeling he'll find something else negative to say about your country and people, as he does the English.

But as much as I have been giving him a hard time lately, this isn't the time to let his prejudices get under my skin, so with that said, wishing @Unnamed Trialist and the rest of the Vs a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

You don't make false statements about someone then say Merry Christmas, @Obinna it's a slap in the face at the meaning of the holiday. 

My mother survived the Blitz in London, woke up to see buildings with school friends flattened across the street. She and the other kids collected bomb shrapnel in little wooden boxes. No family on this board wanted to see blue birds over the white cliffs of Dover than mine (fortunately some people here who love England, Britain, like we do, will understand the reference).

I do not have a good feeling about the T&T match.  We are not playing any friendlies and we do not even have a January camp. If qualifying for Copa America is so important, you need to put resources into trying to qualify.

I think the entire squad has conjured to win in Dallas and go to Copa America. We've made a blood vow, we are going come hell or high water. It's a great test, but I think we'll rise to the occasion, because we can't miss Copa.

T&T are shit.

This is basically Suriname redux

Biello is going to do one of those King Leonidas speeches to the 300 Spartans, behind a meme of that fierce Churchill portrait that Karsh of Ottawa did.

Unfortunately Herdman took the sword with him to TFC and the CSA can only afford a penknife

Talking about funding, where did the money from the $5M interest free loan from FIFA go?

That's what we are going to call him when he cuts off the mullett

It’s just really hard to take that seriously.

Nooo. Not the mullet! I love that mullet and I think it's something that connects Canada and Argentina. Mullets were one of my favourite things about Argentina (apart from the food, beautiful women, soccer, and landscape). Every male (baby to grandpa) seemed to have a variation of mullet. It felt like a hockey town obsessed by a different sport

While the headline says 2024 predictions and he makes a few for 2024, he doesn't outright call for Canada to lose in March to TNT.  The paragraph on the CanMNT is more a recap of what happened in 2023 with regards to Copa America.  No real predictions here.  They didn't qualify in 2023 as we all know, and he paints the team / org in a bad state going into 2024.

Not to change the subject, but Frisco looks like a cool road trip. The stadium is in a Sports Village. The walk to the stadium from the hotel I'm looking at would take me past 18 football/soccer fields and I'd be a 20 minute walk from Soccer City USA, which is great because I'm do for some new summer cleats!😁

Frisco is a really fast growing suburb the cool thing about it aside from the US Soccer HOF being there is the Dallas Cowboys World HQ is there...some good dining in the area as well if you are flying in from the GTA it might be cheaper to fly through Buffalo
