- Toronto FC head coach and former coach of both the men's and women's Canadian national teams expressed his shock and devastation upon learning about the drone spying scandal that has rocked Canada Soccer. Herdman stated that during his tenure as coach in the Canadian program, he is 'highly confident' his teams never took part in spying.
Herdman built the foundation for the current program at canada soccer. He trained and oversaw all of the current coaches including bev priestman. He definitely started all of this drone stuff and built that culture. Now everyone who has worked with him is taking the fall. Herdman lying that he wasn't involved is so shameful.
Get ready because my friend will spill all the beans. Yes Herdman was involved on both sides women & men soccer
Love Herdman! My man
If Canada is doing it, I’d bet money more countries are doing the exact same thing. Canada is just an easy target because we don’t belong in the soccer community apparently.
Well that should absolve Canada of any wrongdoing. I guess we were unlucky enough to have been caught. That’s a common response when caught with hand in the cookie jar
@@dantownsend4246 Exactly. I steal money from someone, it's all good cause everyone's doing it. Then someone steals money from me, and it's an outrageous injustice.
I feel bad for the players, but let's be honest they would have benefitted from these actions. I'm sure those involved would have understood the risk, given that Paris is under threat of terrorist activity and they would have known that flying a drone was a potentially criminal activity, so why do it unless the risk was worth the reward? Was the risk worth the reward in the past and by not getting caught did they have the belief that it could be done without incrimination? Unfortunately the team needs to withdraw and a full independent investigation needs to be done to determine if this was done in the past to the advantage of the team(s). If it is proven that this was done in Tokyo then it needs to be dealt with accordingly. Canadian athletes have benefitted from the athletes from other countries being kicked out and banned after being caught cheating, so they need to held to that same standard - whether they knew about it or not they still benefitted. Sad.
He is definitely on the hot seat. Hopefully he isn’t involved and the ladies on the 2021 team that won gold will not lose their medals. Christine Sinclair deserved a medal and hopefully it doesn’t get removed because of coaches.
What he says at 3:08 is as good as a confession that he did it. If he didn't do it, he would have said so, instead he completely deflected and tried to avoid answering the question.
John Herdman left the organization with a good reputable foundation and now they are fucking it up...oh wait 😂
Wow...this guy is so guilty
Uh oh! You are on the hot seat now boi
It says something that i cant believe anything any of these people say
We need a full review of Canada Soccer. These things don’t happen overnight
“Highly confident” does not mean he has never had involvement in any espionage. Weasel words, at best.
Not that this is at the same level of what happened with Lance Armstrong, yet, but as it started to unravel for him he knew that he had to live with the recordings where he lied to camera - to the media and the public. Herdman is aware of that so he is being deliberate with his word choices. It is hard to believe that he wasn't fully aware of what was going on. A full independent investigation needs to happen so the truth can be revealed and the program can move forward.
He is involved stay tune and watch the show
Johns compassion and empathy for the players end wheres his ass begins
What a mealy mouth liar this guy is. "Highly Confident" is just plausible deniability at its worst. So much for accountability from the top.
Reading all the comments, why most of the people think he's involved????
Did you not watch the video? He literally dodged the question for 4 minutes.
Hmm intresting shame on canada if these things are real
I think this guywill be out of a job soon
"I'm highly confident at an Olympic Games or World Cup we've never been involved in those types of activities" lol Reminds me of the Rob Ford answer to when a Toronto city councilor asked him (in the midst of his crack smoking scandal) if he remembered years earlier being publicly drunk at a Leafs game and swore he'd never act like that again and he said "and it has never happened again at the Air Canada Centre" Anyways this is much ado about nothing relatively speaking
Liar
You're a liar!---->Fact.
Should have brought the whole team back from Paris - obviously cheating is rife in soccer, as in other sports.
Before drones it was scouts
Reflection of Canadian leadership - Corruption/Lies/Treason anything goes in Trudeaustan!
Danielle Smith, Doug Ford, and a whole bunch of corrupt Conservative premiers more than prove your point.
Liar
