Canada Soccer Part VII: Copa America Semifinal Edition

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Jessie Fleming leaves Chelsea Women for Portland Thorns. Record transfer for NWSL. She's great, but had lost her starting spot for Chelsea. First of the Canadians to come over to Chelsea, so sad to see her go.

Two Canadians in La Liga now

Forge stocking up for for the CCL starting next week.

26 WC Match Schedule announced today.

For Canada:

Jun 12 in Toronto
Jun 18 in Vancouver
Jun 24 in Vancouver

Both Toronto and Vancouver look to be hosting 5 group matches, with Vancouver also hosting a Round of 32 match. Assuming that would be Canada's if they make it out of the group stage.

Toronto and Vancouver are hosting Round of 32 matches and Vancouver gets an additional Round of 16 match.

6 total matches in Toronto, 7 in Vancouver.

Is there natural grass in Vancouver's future then? BC place is sold out already for the Messi match, but I doubt he plays on field turf.

I assume grass was a prerequisite for getting WC games.

Thank you. Realized my mistake afterwards.

BC Place will be upgraded to grass, yes.

The Final is being played at MetLife Stadium in NJ, which also will need to be converted to natural grass.

Going to be an awesome atmosphere tomorrow night:

Forge end up losing 3-1. We were missing some key players which definitely hurt us.

I did love this from the staff:

It's so sad to see this come out. Especially from Dino who has been such a huge part of building the sport here in Canada.

I'm afraid it's only going to get worse from here.

No possible way the new general secretary stepping down was in isolation... there is something rotten to the core...

It's so disheartening because I don't see them righting the ship anytime soon. Not by the Trinidad game, not by COPA (if we make it), not by the end of 2024.

It basically comes down to, can they start to be on the right course by the 2026 World Cup.

If only main stream Canadian media talked about our league like this...

 

[robertmac43]

He has been crushing it recently.. Should be in the next squad:

 

[al secord]

Junior on loan to Neil Warnock's Aberdeen.

 

[robertmac43]

Kone at 50 games already:

 

[al secord]

And Jonathan David with his 7th in 10 for Lille

Edit. Make that 8.. 10 on the season after a slow start.

Edit. ...and another one.
