Netherlands friendly is confirmed on OneSoccer. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narduch Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Somebody mentioned the Canadian Grand Prix is at the same time as the France game. I doubt TSN will care about this friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 vs Netherlands & France, I'm less concerned about results as long as the scoreline is close. It's how we perform, compete and battle. A Belgium type performance is what would be acceptable to me. Let's hope we land the right manager b4 those games. gigi riva, johnyb, Obinna and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtlMario Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I'm wondering how many ranking points we would get per team with a win, draw or lose? Anybody have an idea? narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawafan Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I honestly don't see Canada getting any points against Holland, France or Argentina. However those 3 games will make us so much better and feel like 6 points v Chile/Peru is most likely.

If I've done my math right (and I'd certainly be up for someone verifying things but I think I followed FIFA's algorithm correctly): Against France, 8.1 for a win, 3.1 for a draw, and -1.9 for a loss. Against the Netherlands, 7.5 for a win, 2.5 for a draw, and -2.5 for a loss. Kent, Corazon, johnyb and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 5 hours ago, Kent said: My 5 game losing streak post came out of me not knowing how to convey that I am excited for the games, but there is also a fear that if we lose against the 3 top 10 teams, despite them all being very much expected results, it could potentially have my mindset low going into the still very difficult, but perhaps winnable last 2 group stage matches. So I ended up with an "I don't know if I should laugh or cry" type of joke. Thing is, if we lose to Netherlands, France and Argentina, then get out of our Copa group, the prep and demanding opponents will have served us properly. I don't care for getting ties with Netherlands and France--however fun-- and then losing three straight in Copa. johnyb, RJB, Ivan and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Netherlands numbers matches this site, so I'm willing to trust your other numbers as well. https://football-ranking.com/calculate?match=20240607_NED_CAN It doesn't have the France match available yet.
