Canada v. China, Wed July 30 Moncton 8pm ADT

[Olympique_de_Marseille]

Looks like it will be close to a sellout according to: https://tickets.moncton.ca/Online/de...ionlanguage=EN

Says tickets are "limited", so I assume it's close to being sold out. Can't wait to go, hopefully the atmosphere will be great for our national team!

Well, that website uses "1/3rd" symbols and there are 10 000 seats in the stadium, so I expect that at least 6 666 tickets have been sold!

There should be more interest for the limited tickets still available

What would anybody's standards be for success or failure in Moncton?
A sell-out? 9,000..8?
Where is the line?

In the CBC article photo it is a pity Sinclair is not holding one of our Voyageur's scarf. Whoever has the stock please send one scarf to each player and the coach.

As of yesterday ticket sales were closing in on 7,000. Ticket sales are capped at 8,500?
Does that mean 1,500 seats were set aside for dignitaries and corporate types. Under the roof on a rainy day in the West stand that I couldn't get tix in? Oh well gotta have sponsors and their friends.
Okay here's the story

Yea, I wasn't able to get tickets in the west end either. Oh well, the rain is supposed to stop by 8 tonight so we should be fine.

China now ranked 18th internationally and 4th in AFC, their lowest ever.

While Canada and the US are tweaking for Great Britain two months from now, the Chinese are in recovery.

Their leader Han Duan retired this tour after 182 caps and 106 goals.

The Chinese flew to Toronto after their US game Sunday. Not sure when they arrived in NB.

Crandall University field in NB. Looks like a 1970's high school gym class uniform.

Are training jerseys supposed to look different? I have a white on white Adidas Canadian one... It's contemporary with the polka dot sides, has all the same fabric patterns but everything is white.

Anybody got a stream for this match?
