Does this all go back to Herdman? Is he the common denominator?

I feel like I remember something about drones/spying a while back with him and the Men's team.

No way Bev ever comes back.

Yup - not shocked. Time to go win a football match!

In this day and age, you cannot be sending emails like the ones found in that Westhead article...Pure stupidity all around.

Reads like poorly written satire. Shame!

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Priestman is disgraced.

Priestman is disgraced.

Yup, but amazingly...Herdman looks worse off in my opinion. Outright denied any allegations....yet may have been the brainchild behind this nonsense.

I'd lump Herdman in there too. He clearly spearheaded this whole thing. Although I'm not sure I buy Canada Soccer's 'I didn't know nuffin' routine. I mean, Priestman was sending out e-mails to consultants who worked with Canada Soccer lol.

 

[NyQuil]

Everyone knows as far as the organization is concerned. To be honest, I'd be pretty surprised if none of the players on either team knew.

Punishment will be a question of who is documented as knowing.

This is why you use post-its on your documents, kids!

Win today and none of this deduction matters.

 

[Blitzkrug]

How f***ing dumb do you have to be to put that shit in writing?

 

[PanniniClaus]

Is that Dumitru kid any good? That's a Romanian surname 100 percent.

In my viewings, functional but no standout trait. No big, not fast, decent on the ball and he will defend his position.

CPL looks like his ceiling to me but we will see how things go. Olivieri liked his game enough to start him.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

How f***ing dumb do you have to be to put that shit in writing?

Jocks are not the smartest people around.

Love this lineup from Spence, about time Beckie stars again.

Beckie was fantastic when she came on and deserves this start.

Beckie was fantastic when she came on and deserves this start.

I read she is still battling an injury from earlier in the year and they had to limit her minutes.

Hopefully she has enough in the tank to push through most of this game.

She has really suffered from injuries over the last few years, unfortunately.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Didn't clock that Mayra Ramirez's ban was two matches. That makes the task easier today.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Lawrence at LB is something we've seen at Chelsea, and I've never liked it. Hope it works today.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Did anyone else wince just now at the CBC commentator saying "Reee-al Madrid"

Yeah that was brutal.

 

[Blender]

Huitema please.

Perfect free kick from Fleming, good run by Huitema, poor execution.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

The play by play sounds like something from FIFA 99. Brutal commentary.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

We would have no idea how to handle Ramirez if she were playing, goodness gracious

 

[Blender]

Columbia scoring against the run of play would be crushing.
