I feel like a while back someone said there was a rule preventing teams from playing in 2 countries from 2 different confederations during the same window. Is that actually a thing? johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd even talked about venues. But then they changed to Andorra on the 5th to commemorate the centenary of Extremadura Football Federation. I see nothing more in the Spanish press since early Feb. Prediction: we play N Ireland on Belfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FAČR has yet to announce the exact location where the camp will take place, as well as the name of the opponent. "The opponent is already known, but today he asked us to announce it next week. We were waiting for the opponent, where the match itself will be played, so that we could confirm the location of the training camp," said FAČR spokesman Petr Šedivý." ⬆️ It could be another team but that smells like the CSA to me. 🤣 Wait one week please! 🙏🙏 We just announced a Mexico friendly and we need another week to translate our press release into French and get John Bruce to make some slick graphics.

Not sure. @Buchta, is the Czech team playing Friendly #1 on June 2nd or arriving in Austria for camp on June 2nd? Czech Republic vs Macedonia is June 10th. I was wondering if the #CanMNT could meet before the FIFA window started and play a match before the Netherlands one, but it does seem unlikely.

Buchta Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 The Czech camp starts on June 2nd, so a friendly on June 3rd (for example) is unlikely. I was just hoping to see Canada to play the Czech Republic again, even though it is almost impossible in June. gator, WestHamCanadianinOxford and Olympique_de_Marseille 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a friendly super early because they start the tournament early. They go to Austria to be in a quieter environment to train but are still very close to Munich where they begin the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Poland, I would say, they should win today then have to get past, likely, Wales. A decent bet, though if they win they start June 16th vs Netherlands. Again, a match on Sunday the 9th or Monday 10th is a bit tight (for us too), usually teams want a bit of a rest before starting a tournament. jhoops__ and Watchmen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 It seems likely that we will play a 2nd friendly in Europe but if we don't, Colombia could remain a possibility. It seems likely that they will play Bolivia. narduch, Corazon, PegCityCam and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I think Bolivia would be nice. Another Copa team and one we could/should beat, so possibly a confidence boost ahead of Argentina. @Olympique_de_Marseille if we play Bolivia do you expect it would be on this side of the pond? Maybe a send off match at BMO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 @Olympique_de_Marseille I think I misinterpreted that. Sounds like Colombia is likely to play Bolivia, not us. Olympique_de_Marseille 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
