Hard to say, there is always some complaining about the food and living quarters

It can't possibly be worse than Sochi, at least the plumbing seems to be operational

That’s not always the case. Coaches and assistant staff can share the information a way to make it seem like they didn’t cheat in any way.

I mean there aren't many ways to say "if the opposing team is in this position during a free kick, this is about to happen" without the next question being "how did you know that?"

I'm not sure how often that line of thinking would happen... but I wouldn't be surprised if they used the drone footage in team film sessions

Fair point 

 

But I’m sure there’s other bits of information that can be relayed to the team.

Will be interesting where this ends. Indications are the FIFA is massively pissed. IOC is obviously pissed... and Priestman and/or the CSA burned their one ally in COC yesterday. David Shoemaker publicly went to bat for her yesterday, after presumably getting assurances, and a day later turns out those assurances were lies and made him look like a fool.

A bit off topic but has anyone had the chance to see the CBC intro so far?

Canada will be sharing a boat with Chile, China, Cameroon, and Central African Republic. 

[JoshMartini007 2,533]

How big are these boats or are we going to be on two/three boats?
