Nations Cup 2007?

[whataboutbob]

Rumor has it that the Caribbean isn't a country at all, in fact, neither is Africa. Anyone realize this? Next year I'm thinking about putting in Team Europe, basically consisting of anyone and everyone.

Instead of going the usual "WISE" way, Germany is in a transition year with a lot of young true German players. Ironic that I'm a part of a German team that is trying to keep it on the up and up.

Germany with some great new talent, 18 year-old Dave O'Malley in the back, Dave Yakimoto in the mid alongside veteran Jassi Randhawa.

In all honesty, Germany will have a tough go this year in the open and I'm only there to help some of the young guys. But at least Brian Wilms is laying the ground work for some years to come. 15-1 odds.

I'll have to protest that just like Germany did several years ago because No Right Peg played for Ireland. Nice one.

Dave O'Malley,eh? Sounds like he might be a nice fit for another team wearing green and white.

By the sounds of it, I appears that most teams do not carry the major of thier heritage on the team.

I wonder which teams carry at leat 75% of whatever country.

I could play for:

Canada = vinnie eh?
Scotland = McVinnie
England = Vinnie wanker
Ireland = O'vinnie
First nations = vinnie George (insert 2 first names here)

etc

There aren't enough players from each country in the Caribbean to form teams....I should know...I'm part West Indian...anyways....if this were Toronto it wouldn't be hard to create a Jamaican team, Barbadian team....and so on...but because we have such a small Caribbean community compared with Toronto - Caribbean team will have to do!

 

[Bronco]

Croatia is probably 95% ethnically cleansed, I mean clean!

 

[Captain Shamrock]

YEs, Bronco, I hear you're adding several players of the 'English' influence for the tournament and season..........

 

[akal number one]

India is comprised of all east indians.

 

[The Spy]

It's all about the population.. India and China should be 100% (no this is not a racial or stereo type comment) Italian and Croation community in Vancouver is big too.
Also I think it's all about being competetive. Ya some of the other communities are bigger than average but I think the skill level of the players is not good enough to play at this level.

Sadly true my Fenian friend. Don't really know how it's going to fly with the stalwart oldtimer support, but that will rest largely in the results. Bloody Brits want to ruin everything that is pure don't they?!?!

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Bronco,

'Tis a sad day indeed.


Are you still playing? How is the health? Hopefully I'll see you around the tournament this weekend and we can have a pint or two.

 

[Bronco]

I was planning a return this year, but I may have a herniated disk to deal with. Probably lookign at O-35's at this point. See you out in Richmond at some point this weekend. we'll discuss Sinn Fein et al!!

Long live Jerry Adams pre appeasement!!

Sounds like some fine young German players coming into your side, WAB. No one could be more Germanic than O'Malley, Yakimoto and Randhawa unless they were guys named Dressel, Ulrich and Kramer.

20 C and raining all weekend boys... the beer gardens are going to be ON FIRE!!!

Those names are practically music to my ears...

PORTUGAL 3 - GREECE 0

Goals scored by Carlos Batista, Alain Rusch and Jeff Hodgson. Obviously a good result for us. I didn't think we were ever in danger of surrendering a goal.

Big game against Scotland tomorrow as I heard they beat China by a 3-0 score as well.

Any other scores out there?

 

[Sir M]

I know that in the over 30s Division Italy defeated Scotland in actually a very entertaining game. Italy went up 2-0 in the first 10 or 15 minutes while the Scotland central defenders and midfielders were still intoducing themselves to eachother. Jinky got one back in the second half early, but Scotland could not get the equalizer, although they carried the play for most of the game. The Favro brothers, Sal, Carm Donof, and it must be said once again Frank C were huge for Italy against some pretty tough competition.

2-1 final.

In the over 30s div, Italy looks like a good bet for the final, and on the other side, I might bet on India. Although I believe that the England, or thr Germany teams may have something else in mind. As does Scotland I guess...

 

[SCK]

Sir M. Great game tonight. We survived that one. A very good side, Scotland, and with a little luck could have pulled a tie. We really should have put a few extra in but I would agree that you guys carried much of the play. We'll see what Ireland brings tomorrow. What was their result against China BTW??
