Kaizero Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 4 minutes ago, Conjo said: Yeah...I guess...was just thinking with the current group of players, if there ever was a time for him to get the most out of his philosophy with our national team it would be now. The players suit his style and are still young and hungry which is not necessarily the case in 4 years time. It would be a step up from Glimt, and he could set himself up for an even better job in the future if he managed to qualify us for the next WC and get us out of the group stage...but yeah, boring and safe it will be, and we'll probably qualify for the next WC anyway purely due to more teams being included and we will call it a great achievement and pat ourselves on the back before we dump out of the actual cup in the same manner we didn't manage to qualify this time. Good thing Ashley is gone so I can start ignoring international football again. I had so much hope and expectations for this team but I've got no hope for them unless we can get someone that plays to their strenghts. The most frustrating thing for me is how we for once have a great attacking group of players and we waste it all playing defense - which always backfires, as we don't have very good defensive players and bang average keepers.

Interviewed him for work during the Pardew 5th place season and asked him what sort of player he wanted for the national team. "Coloccini.

woody Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Canada playing Mexico tonight. -8 C in Edmonton (and snow) with a win guaranteeing us a place at the World Cup for the first time since '86. Going to watch the game with a bunch of ex-86 national team members and it's wild how upbeat they are after years of us being Mexico and the U.S.'s whipping boys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 That last 10 minutes took years off my life. What a huge moment for the game in Canada. Hopefully can keep this momentum and keep building through 2022. Bloody El Salvador doing none of us favours though. Panama need to start losing! Preferably Mexico keep losing too!

Yorkie Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Well played, Canada. Hope they can do it. Weird seeing both Uruguay and Chile struggling in South America. Would be nice to see Nobby's lads at the World Cup again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Hopefully Canada can do it, but it is still quite tight at the top of that table and falling into 4th place is pretty much guaranteed to send you out. John Herdman must be getting recognised now, if he takes them to the World Cup, then surely someone will offer him a club job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably Mexico keep losing too! Did some proper Italian shithousery after their goal. Loved watching an arse first snowbank celebration for our second. Came a bit undone defensively in the second half, but proud of the way this team has been playing through qualifying. Easily the most talented squad in my lifetime.

He gets Canada to a world cup and he's got a job for life, basically. I think he'd be loathe to leave as he quite literally gets full control of our player and coaching development right now.
