March 27, 2022 Men's World Cup Qualifier--Canada vs Jamaica post game press conference
(by Rocket Robin)

Details of the post-game press conference held Sunday March 27, 2022 at BMO Field in Toronto
after the Canada vs Jamaica World Cup Qualifier

The conference was held virtually with via Zoom with the players downstairs and the reporters that stayed behind in the press box upstairs using their computers to ask questions. I don't take my computer to soccer games so I asked around if anyone was conducting their interview without privacy earphones so I could place my phone beside their laptop and use it to record what was said. Thanks to members of the CSA for letting me carry that out. I was standing away from their computer because there are still COVID protocols and close to an air circulator in the ceiling so I could not hear much of what was being said so looked forward to getting home to hopefully hear everything clearly.
