I’ll bite. 5527 makes total sense. Lots of people were in the concourse and behind one of the goals shaded from the intense sun. See…I (and a few others on this forum) were actually in the stadium.

Excellent couple of mins of video entertainment. The extended version with the other Canada goals was even better.

Kettlewell is an excellent man manager. I have heard very positive stories about how Kettlewell brought him in and gave him the confidence to take over the main striker role after they lost Kevin van Veen. Bair's manager at St Johnstone, Steven McLean, was a former player there and honestly, in way over his head. It was his first managerial job too and got it full time after a run of 6 or so half decent results that kept them up the season before.

But how do you do qualification when the international calendar is already over packed? Anyways, it’s CONMEBOL’s tournament, they aren’t going to exclude any of their countries for 2 more of CONCACAF’s.

Sorry but that’s BS

Wait til half time goes for 30 mins because they hired Shakira to sing at the interval.

I want to say so much about how Copa has been run by CONMEBOL. From ticketing to security, this tournament has been such a shitshow. It was bad months ago and during the tournament, it was bad as well. What is happening in Miami does not shock me at all.

I agree…met him once and had a bit of a chat. Nice kid and young! I love how he has that little bit of swagger to and performances to back it up. Marseille will be a very hot place (especially with their Ultras); hope he keeps his head and makes them love him.

Ha ha…no

I have a feeling if there is a game in October, it will be in Montreal.

Just a few thoughts on this tournament from having attended four of the games: 1. Great to play teams that all have an increased intensity than what we are used to. The skill level is also something watching it live…especially Argentina who have amazing movement and ball accuracy. 2. I’ve mentioned it before but the fan experience was good to poor at times. Ticket prices, organization of sections, security, and in KC, the heat made this horrible for the supporters. The Peruvian and Venezuelan supporters for the most part were vocal but great to deal with and friendly. They were also mostly American based. 3. the less I say about CONMEBOL as an organization, the better. I have a better appreciation for CONCACAF now (that statement is very damning). Finally, there are a lot more passionate football/soccer supporters in this country than even we think (and most of them with mixed heritage spending lots of money and time to travel all over the States to support Canada). That encouraged me a lot especially with the team and Canada Soccer now pointing in the right direction. We need to keep this momentum going.

It is less than 24 hrs to the game and neither the Vs nor Canada Soccer have received the tickets for the game tomorrow. All I can hope it that they come through later tonight or tomorrow at a reasonable time so they can be sent out. Otherwise, it won’t be just the supporters that won’t get into the stadium, but neither will the players’ families and friends. What a disorganized bunch CONMEBOL is: from ticketing processes, pricing, stadium security and merchandising. They make CONCACAF look like Amazon.

Not yet. And we won’t know what section until later today when we get the tickets.

I just checked and the cheapest ticket in the nosebleeds is $1,500 US plus fees.
