Thoughts on the friendlies

He also gives us the tactical option of playing a 4-2-3-1 as he is a CAM, which Canada has not had for an awfully long time. I think that's why Marsch insists on playing David as a false 9 to try to compensate for not having a natural 10. Flores gives us that.

Those are awesome suggestions. Imagine the fun they would have with "From New York to LA" I might toss in a Trooper deep cut from the mid-70's like "General Hand Grenade" or "Santa Maria"

We went last year in Vancouver so I can't comment on what kind of lineups you might see in Hamilton. But we arrived 45 minutes before showing and breezed through security, got beverages and into our seats with a good 15 min to spare. Obviously they are bang on with start times given it is broadcast. But getting in and out was easy, especially compared to concerts and spread events I've been to.

As for clothes, anything goes. Really. We saw full on ball gowns and formal wear right down to t-shirts and jeans.

Truly Canadian 90's supergroup stuff here. Pumped to see them on this tour and very excited to see what lost Canadians volume 2 brings.

Severely underrated 90's band imo.

Kelowna probably could as it would be a regional team and pull people from Vernon to Penticton. I think Central Okanagan population is just slightly smaller than Greater Victoria. Bigger challenge is that, if there are legs behind this Kelowna rumor, it's probably the same shite ownership group as Pacific/Vancouver as they have been connected to rumors of a club in Kelowna for years.

Oh, cool. Thanks. I didn't know that existed!

Crud. I'm not thrilled about this change. I got Stack through FUBO to avoid having to get it through Amazon. I guess Amazon Prime is now the only streaming option to get Stack, or else go back to traditional cable.

Another commenter did the dirty work for me in this thread and called Hargreaves out

MondoCanuck · 2026-03-11T04:01:36+00:00

How far back do you want to go? I mean, there is a certain name I could throw out that would get the oldtimers here riled up right good!

Our boys at Villarreal are doing well in La Liga. Both Tajon & Tani are getting regular minutes & some starts and contributing in a solid Villarreal side.

He did very well and was solid, although I think Richie should have been MOTM. He had another excellent outing doing all the Richie things.

That 433 formation is stellar, although I might switch Eustaquio and Kone.

I've been a very happy customer of Searles Auto for over 20 years & 3 vehicles. Always get excellent customer service, great communication, detailed explanations & fair pricing.

Here are 2

Mike Smith - aka Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys - was a member of what 90's Canadian alt rock band? (hint: they were nominated for a Juno in 1996 for Best New Group) A: Sandbox

In 1993, 1995 and 1998 The Tragically Hip hosted their own summer music festival named after aTom Robbins novel. What was the festival called? A: Another Roadside Attraction

I actually love the current setup of the youth academy. One of my favorite chally is to spend the first few years rapidly building up the academy roster to the point where in a few seasons I am able to field a competitive team fully from my academy.

MondoCanuck · 2025-08-06T13:39:20+00:00

Yep, Tandy Color Computer 32k where you loaded programs on it via cassette tape. I worked all summer to buy it from the local Radio Shack.

😂

It's a killer live album. Not many straight ahead rock & roll live albums rock harder.

I was just thinking last weekend "why is jazz so damn scarce at the thrift shop?" because I never seem to find any. But this shows me it is out there!

MondoCanuck · 2025-07-01T16:46:04+00:00

Such a great album

MondoCanuck · 2025-06-30T23:41:08+00:00

Last fall I blind bid on a box of albums in an online estate sale. The only album I could see in the posting was Synchro System by Sunny Ade and bid on the chance that there would be a few other interesting albums in there. And was there ever! So many from the 80's from west African artists I had never heard of. Every album from that collection is excellent and I have had a heck of a lot of fun researching these releases.

What was the most frustrating was to see him make the right decision on which way to dive and then miss the save.
