Canada Soccer Part VII: Copa America Semifinal Edition

[Scandale du Jour]

Forge beat Outremont 2-0.

It was a fine performance, but nothing impressive. Had a lot of the ball but did not really create much.

Forge FC vs CFM next round. I do not really care which wins. I just want a good game.

Fair assessment! I think I will be heading to Montreal for the Forge away day!

This is interesting and honestly kind of surprising. I think Burnley would be a little out of Herdman's depths at this point. Who knows how much stock these links have.

I dont think there's anything there. I don't see Herdman leaving right before the World Cup

Friendly against Iran scheduled for June 5th. Before they play Curacao June 10th in the Nations League.

It's interesting. The USA is playing Morocco and we play Iran. Berhalter and Herdman have reportedly been trading notes through qualification. I'm assuming they will be in contact following the games against each other's group rivals.

 

[Javaman]

Just got our tickets to the June 5 game against Iran.

Upper bowl though. Hopefully BC Place is full for the game.

Just make sure you balance things out by watching some footage of Belgiums bacline

I do, but then I go to bed with visions of Doneil and Kamal dancing in my head.

It's official... Not that it's surprising in the slightest;

 

[al secord]

We don't need you!

 

[red devil]

Hope this is the right forum for this, but Alphonso and Sam are doing a friendly wager over the Battle of Alberta.

I hope he ends up at Exeter

 

[luiginb]

That's what you get for stealing Corbeanu away from us. Although in all fairness he didn't really light League One on fire this year.

It's official... Not that it's surprising in the slightest;

What a weird letter/announcement he wrote, almost like he's trying to convince himself of the decision.

At the end of the day Canada got used as leverage by him to get capped by Mexico since right now he's just a very good youth player who hasn't proven anything and wasn't ready to play for Canada

Anyway looking forward to some future Gold Cup (or World Cup qualifer) where Canada beats Mexico with him on the sidelines because the only minutes he can get with the Mexican team are garbage time minutes (if he can even make the team at all)

If Canada can get Stefan Mitrović to commit he may actually be the bigger score anyway since he's actually playing minutes and doing well in a decent league. Hopefully he joins the team for the Nations league games

 

[Tuggy]

It would be nice to see Mitrovic this summer.

MLS salary informaiton came out. Here is a list of the top Canadian earners. Found it interesting to look through;

 

[PanniniClaus]

Cooper does not trust Laryea whatsoever.. Colback is an experienced pro but Laryea would rip up and down that left side right now.. Spence got beat for the tying goal.. not that i'd be replacing Spence with Laryea but he's not infallible.

Some Women's news. We finally get a post-Gold Medal game in Toronto! Looking forward to this one;

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Having just spent a few weeks in Halifax, I'm now heading back to Toronto just in time for TFC to come play Wanderers! Very sad to be missing it

That would have been an electric game to be at. Were you able to get out to any Wanderer home games?

Trudeau says soccer body's invitation to Iran for friendly match not 'a very good idea'

I get it. The tragedy isn't as fresh in everyone's mind.
