Canada Soccer Part VII: Copa America Semifinal Edition

[Tuggy]

It won't be a one-match ban. Bev Priestman has attempted to discipline herself, but the repercussions will probably be more severe.

It's literally best if Soccer Canada suspends or outright fires her asap.

Yup, she should be done.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I would totally understand if Canada is removed from the tournament. The athletes don't deserve that though, which is why I don't see it happening.

Tell that to the Russians.

Yep - right now which is what I was thinking after reading this... if it is as all possible she should be on the next plane home or in a French court. I can see all of them getting bans from coaching for a period of time.

The more I read into it, the more I think Bev knew the whole time. She's done, we cannot continue with her at the helm.

 

[Dr Pepper]

With the crackdown on airspace during the Olympics, why did anyone at Canada Soccer think this was a good idea?

Hell even without the restrictions, which they already knew about, what was the point?

 

[Cloned]

Embarrassing and massively disappointing.

Priestman needs to be fired ASAP if she knew about this. Not the image that you want portrayed as a Canadian.

Apparently they saw tactical instructions from NZ....

Which leads us to the next question.... Is Bev genuinely scared of being tactically out classed by the 28th ranked team in the world?

lol.

Your defending Olympic champions. Good grief.

It is Canada Soccer, that's your answer.

That would really suck for the athletes.

**** this circus. This team got gifted an easier group and had a glorious chance to repeat. Clowns.

I'm almost surprised the whole team hasn't been turfed yet. Caught cheating at the Olympics, how often does that NOT result in disqualification?

I wonder if that is ultimately where they land.... Would need to know soon with kick off getting closer and closer.

Cheating goes on all the time. Only countries like Canada get penalized. Favored countries DO NOT.

Yeah - kickoff is in 13 plus hours..

 

[CuuuJooo]

Someone tweeted "How'd Canada Soccer afford the drones?" and I almost spat out my tea.

Ohhh so thats where the COPA winnings went.... Drone investment.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I know you are kidding... but it is the CSA so anything is possible

 

[Tuggy]

Well the match is going ahead, just about to kickoff.

Crappy situation for the Canadian players, they didn't ask for this.

I'm still baffled Priestman hasn't been fired.

 

[robertmac43]

If someone from NZ scores do they do a drone celebration?

 

[PanniniClaus]

Watching this match so far.... mind blowing we would be worried about NZ's tactics.. Makes the whole thing even more ridiculous.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Ludicrous... Pathetic

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Brilliant start.
