2006 Nations Cup....

[lean]

Nations Cup will be held on July 21 to 23.

We have added Friday night games for the Mens Open this year to accomodate for the change of venue and allow the finals to be all played at Minoru Complex on Sunday

The tournament has been expanded to 8 teams for the Womens division after a successful introduction last year.

Now if we can sort out the details of the Beer Gardens with the City, this is going to be another great edition of the Nations Cup Tournament.

Looking forward to the Draw being live on "Up Front"

Hold your goddamn horses.

First priority needs to be sorting out beer gardens with the city. Screw a the draw. have the announcement of beer gardens live on UpFront, actually you should do upfront live from the beer garden this summer. that would be good.

SC,

Portugal would like to enter a team in the Womens Div, any chance it'll expand to 10 teams?

lean, do you have 8 confirmed womens' teams yet?

 

[lean]

There will be 8 teams in the Womens division and unfortunatly it is not possible to add more this year.

I believe the contact information for a Portugal side has been added to our list but I am not sure if there is a spot still available. The person who is contacting teams will be going through the application procedure right now and will contact the Portugal rep accordingly.

PS Army - You don't have to tell me about getting the Beer Gardens sorted as it is a top priority for everyone involved. I do like the idea of "Up Front" broadcasting live from it during Nations. Any thoughts on that Regs

I've been talking with Willy on this mater and I think it is a done deal - just need to work out the best date that we are doing a show to do this... looks like either May 29th or June 12 is going to be the 2 options...

Superstar,
This is the most info I've heard since my first inquiry... over a month ago. I spoke to Mackers and he'll be heading up Canada, and Dougie heading up England again. That makes three of us in for sure and the secrets of the other teams may be unvailed closer to the date(insert smiley face shoulder shrugging guy here).

I heard a First Nations team is already training... China, Italy and the others...(insert smiley face shoulder shrugging guy here).

Superstar, weren't you on Canada last year? Or at least a few from PCOV were out there

I sure hope more than 5 come out to play for Ireland, according to our last kick around numbers .

SC - This Superstar happens to hold an Irish Passport! You need anymore players?

Didn't play for Canada last year.

 

[wayne's world]

is the nation's cup schedule out yet. the website on mytournament hasn't been updated.

 

[Regs]

I haven't received a schedule from Willy yet so I'm assuming it hasn't been made.

Cheers,

I have heard that teams have been informed of when and where there games are, any chance of putting it online Regs? Or directing me to the proper location.

Cheers

Not bad for our first game.

 

[gilly]

Caught of bit of last night's exhibition game between India and Canada (open). It was 1-1 when I left, and I believed it finished as a draw.

Both teams looked tough defensively, with enough skill players in the right positions to turn a game. India had more ball possession (but I believe that was part of Canada's strategy). India was made of of mainly Sikh Temple, Indo-Akal and Hurricane players, while Canada was composed mainly of ex-Sportstown players and current Richmond United players with one SMALL exception.

Good luck to both teams come the scorching weekend.

 

[Guinness]

Ireland open played their O-30's last night in Ladner... A good chance for most of the lads to get a few touches on the ball and work on our attack (toward the beer garden obviously)... Don't really remember the score, but a good mix of youth and experience... Looking forward to Scotland and that turncoat J_B on Friday night!!!

India 2 - Canada 2

Decent game by both teams but both teams probably need to play much better to win the tournament.

Why the hell are we not playing on grass instead of the shite turf. With the heat, the turf is the worst surface to play on and definitely not fun.

I thought soccer in the summer time was meant to be played on grass. Guess not

It would be pretty tough trying to get around that excavator just sitting there off to the side of the park doing sweet fcuk all. Oh wait...that's just Showtime

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Guinness,

I believe the score was 7 - 3. Not much defense but some very nice goals.

We will be able to score goals this weekend but we need to be a lot more disciplined defensively to have any chance. Time will tell. I do know that I will be drunk for the majority of the tournament which is partially what the weekend is all about.

You're all in fcuking danger.
