Canada Soccer Part VII: Qatar Booked Edition

Mourino to Canada??? We could offer him Copa America and the World Cup
I think he would need his own chef brought in as the North American diet would probably kill him. But let's just put the cost of hiring him on the CSA credit card.

Scandale du Jour
JordanStaal#1Fan
Sorry for the French, but, basically, there is a rumor that we could play France on June 9th.
It is the type of friendly we have to play if we want to progress as a soccer nation.
Exciting and scary.
Sounds like it could certainly happen.
Would be at least two friendlies prior to the Copa.
June 6 vs the Dutch and June 9 vs France.
First match of Copa against Argentina is June 20.
So plenty of time to come back to NA and get ready.

I will be pissed off if we don't beat Holland and France. Easy dubs!

Easy and then you ride the momentum through the Copa journey!
This is the hazy, shroom-based positivity I can get behind.

Yo, Goober, where's the meat?
Frank's track record is not special but he certainly brings more credibility than Biello.. who does Frank usually have as his one and two?
Does anyone remember that Herdman brought Neville and Shaw in? They promptly disappeared..

His #2 at Derby and Chelsea was Jody Morris, but Jody didn't follow Frank to Everton.
Jody probably wanted to maintain some self respect and stay away from that mess.

CPL Kicks off today, here are my predictions. We don't know the playoff format yet so basing that off of last season.
Playoffs:
4v5 Qualifying game: York > Pacific. The GTA club finally win a playoff game beating Pacific on the road. They go onto play Ottawa in a battle of Ontario.
3v4: Ottawa > York: Ottawa with some great adds this offseason, win a home playoff game and send their rivals packing again.
1v2 Semi's: Forge beat Cavalry in this game for the second year running and host the finals for the third time in 4 seasons.
Losers bracket semi-final: Ottawa beat Cavalry on the road, making it back to the finals. They head to Hamilton to play Forge in a reverse of the 2022 finals.
Finals Forge v Ottawa in Hamilton: Forge take care of business and capture their third straight title and fifth in league history.
- - - - - - -
Awards:
Defender of the Year: Dldic (Ottawa)
Golden Boot: De Rosario (York)
Players MVP: Basset (Ottawa) - Huge bounce back year in bound
Golden Glove: Henry (Forge FC) - Henry captures his third and officially cements himseld as the best goalie in league history
U-21 Player of the Year: Kevaughn Tavernier (Forge FC) - If he stays in the CPL this year.
MVP: Kyle Bekker (Forge FC)
Manager of the Year: Bobby Smyrniotis (Forge FC) - After being snubbed on multiple occasions, Bobby finally gets the award he deserves.
- - - - - - -
Other Predictions:
Smyrniotis leaves Forge at the end of the season to take on a role in the MLS. Finally getting his flowers.
A CPL team makes the CanChamp Finals. The team will be Atleti, as they go on a run to start the summer with the influx of new signings.
Expansion News: We learn of 2 new CPL teams that will bring the total teams in the league up to 10. The first is Edmonton who come back under new ownership. The second is either Windsor or a Quebec based team to get another team in the East.
The Playoff format changes and my above predictions are completely wrong lol
- Cavalry - Wins the regular season again
- Forge
- Atletico
- Pacific
- York United
- Halifax Wanderers
- Vancouver

Watching Athletico Ottawa vs York and I still can't figure out why CPL teams don't shoot the matches with the camera facing the end with spectators. The empty stand on camera makes it look so bad.

Disregard my Henry becomes the best goalie in the league card. Forgot the contract dispute was not resolved.
With that in mind it's either Kalongo or Carducci.

I'm fine with no Lampard. I don't think he would have been the guy to move the needle and his name would have brought pressure and attention the team doesn't really need at the moment.
I still think the best options are Bobby Smyrniotis or Tommy Wheeldon Jr from the CPL. They have proven over the past 5 years that they can manage at a high level and both come with the tactical acumen to manage on the International stage.
