On the Island, here but UVIC's Cam Hundhal (think he is from Surrey so I am sure lots of you have seen him). MVP CIS Tourney in his rookie year (must be only 18-19) is pretty impressive. Great moves, speed, touch. He is pretty special and hope the Whitecaps take note.
Plus what the hell were the keeper and defender thinking making a challenge like that in the box. If he actually got the ball, with that pace, the ball wound have went flying. Instead it dribbles because HE DIDN'T TOUCH IT.
He got the red for "Denying an OBVIOUS goal scoring opportunity." Pretty clear actually. If the defender didn't foul him point blank he would have a clear shot on goal. Didn't matter if the defender was on the line. It would have been the same call if the keeper was on the line. Bang on call...
Italy looked better but not as cohesive as it should be. It was a peno, don't know what Panucci was thinking. Toni's goal was onside but it was a tough call to make as players were going in opposite directions which made it hard on the Assistant referee (but he should have got it right). Just...
If you saw Cannavoro's form this year at Real, I'm kind of glad he's out. He's lost a step. They need some new energy and this will open a spot for somebody. Let's be honest, Italy doesn't need any help at defence anyways:)
Exactly my point, they get the shite kicked out of them week, decide that skill isn't going to work, so lets bang and crash because that's all we can do. Come on, the guy who got a red could have broken the guy's leg (IN A FRIENDLY! for Pete's sake). Mind you they did score three goals so maybe...
Was at the game. What a joke. Aren't these games supposed to be "friendlies"? Who is going to want to play in these games knowing that "nothing" is on the line and it's going to be goon/bitchfest. Good luck having this set up next year knowing that players will whack and 2 foot one another over...
Larson,
Seriously let's call a spade a spade. The VMSL has 10 teams as good as Gorge and the VISL is a 2-3 (contending) team league at best. Gorge won out on the day and kudos to them. They are number one this year and no one will dispute that. But to say the VMSL is a shiite league is stupid...
