DeNiro Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) 51 minutes ago, 24K said: Top 2 from pool and the next best 2 overall to create the balanced bracket. Canada hold the tie breaker against Brazil so they would still get in if they didn't have the tie breaker against Columbia but Canada also have to win against Volumbia to be tied in point for the tie breaker to come into play. By the prior game results, Canada hold the tie breaker no matter what if they outright win against Columbia so it was either 2nd in the group or go on the plane back home. Thanks. I thought it was a must win for Colombia too apparently not Edited August 1 by DeNiro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) CAN V GER Marseille Stadium, Marseille Saturday 3 August 2024 13:00 EDT. Watching the replay. Saw some Colombian women when forming the wall during a free kick, covered their chest with their arms, instead of the groin in men's game. This is new to me. Don't usually watch ladies soccer much except in Olympics and WC. Edited August 1 by Jaimito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too think it was at the high end of the range, for sure, but I am also a bit of a rules guy..comes from my criminology days i think, haha. I am glad our Ladies were mentally tough enough and physically tough enough to overcome it and they are through the pools stage!

CBH1926 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) More stories about spying on the opponents are coming out. It will be interesting to see what else is going to be uncovered. Right now some of the sources are unnamed but typically where there is smoke there is fire. https://www.tsn.ca/soccer/canada-s-men-s-and-women-s-soccer-teams-have-relied-on-drones-and-spying-for-years-sources-say-1.2153674 Edited August 1 by CBH1926 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-dlc- Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 No surprise ^^ In this competitive environment where some countries pay big bucks for gold (up to nearly $300,000.00), it isn't farfetched to think that teams are trying to get an upper hand on one another. Cheating, sure...but you still have to PLAY the game so there's that part. Getting someone's game plan doesn't guarantee success (by any means). Anyhow....I better get to watch the game tomorrow. I have to work. Problem is...we don't have a workplace anymore (today was the last day of our lease). But my boss is pushing to "work together in person" and suggested we work at my house. Nope. His house. Nope again. Others are working remotely. I have an issue here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift-4 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Spirit of sport is alive and well. Watching men's triathlon. Guys finishing 25 and 26 from Norway and South Africa giving each other hugs. Just awesome 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some communities have shared work spaces you can rent by the hour, as a suggestion for when your team needs to get together in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to either be a staff member who would be incriminating themselves or a player no? Also a lot of this seems to be hearsay. They wanna retroactively punish teams they need concrete evidence.

Dumb Nuck Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I took a Quick Look and could not find a definitive answer to my question, what specific FIFA rule did Canada break by using a drone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting caught at something every other team does? Seems like they had to act because Canada was caught red handed. But yea, is there an actual rule that states teams are guaranteed private practices? If a member of the Canadian team went and sat in the stands during practice would security throw them out? Maybe they didn’t even need to use a drone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I could find mentioned was a rule about fair play and not gaining an unfair advantage but if every team can or does use drones it’s not an advantage any longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty if I was a coach and another team was spying on my practice I’d give them misinformation such as having players practice penalty kicks going to one side and if it comes to a PK in game then go to the other or practice a 3-4-3 and go into the game with a 4-4-2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not ever going to be clearly articulated by FIFA is my bet. Your question does spur on my own response to much that I have read about this topic over the past few days - what information, exactly, would be be captured by a drone circling a practice session, that couldn’t be gleaned by any number of other publicly available sources? I’ve played this game at a fairly high level and just might be incredibly naive, but I can’t imagine coaches/staff offering me any significant information about a team I’m about to play that I wouldn’t immediately conclude the second we lined up to start the match. The game is won or lost in the field and not during video sessions. You don’t spring secret strategies during a football match that have to be hidden from opponents. To be clear though. Spying is bad. It needs to be punished and it was punished in this case. Anybody who is still unable to get past that point and support our team, does not seem to be a fan of sport or the overcoming of life’s obstacles. In this moment, given these circumstances, I feel sorry for anybody still stuck on the moral high ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I really could come up with is penalty kick strategy I guess, stupid the coaches thought it was necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
