The Young Gaffers: The Ultimate, Definitive Canadian Premier League Prediction Episode

Technically we are not talking about a union. It is simply an association that defends players' interests. Hardly anywhere in the world do they have real power, the salary hierarchies, marketing rationales and player agents empty "unions" of effectivity.  Technically players should be a representational voting block for all our soccer association elections, including provincial and CSA. As with clubs, refs, etc.

The biggest tell is how close the sidelines are to the edge of the penalty area. Yankee Stadium's field is much wider.

And the goalie was actually listed as a defender on original roster.  https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.1175592 Let's not discuss the game after Cuba game please.

I fully agree with you! But I don't know if it would be possible to make that osrt of deal!

We can only put out lineups though vs the team's we played.  I'm pretty confident vs stronger opposition it will be Adekugbe at LB (just like last Gold Cup).  I also think Herdman will go with a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 for the majority of the tournament. David would prolly be RW/RF in the 4-3-3just like vs FG. In a 4-4-2 he's prolly up top with Cav.

Having watched David he’s pretty good defensively.  Also Kaye has played LB professionally and has looked best there for Canada.  It’s not like Davies at LB.  I’m confident in Kaye’s defensive abilities.

Exactly. Against teams that have not represented a challenge defensively for us as we got results by scoring in relative abundance.  It rubs me the wrong way to see someone proposing putting MAK as an outside back so David can start in the middle when we already have goal potential in Lucas, Alphonso, Hoillet, Arfield, Osorio...that is not a balanced team on the field and this is not C division Nation's Cup.

Yeah, it sounds shockingly small, and it is apparently smaller than the field at Yankees Stadium I believe, but it didn't look like it to me. It looked a little small, but not as bad as Yankee Stadium. Must be something about camera angles or me not being very perceptive.

100% agree. I still think the league should be providing a living wage at the minimum level and you'll need a union for that.    As a byproduct, it'll also drastically improve the level of players (not that I am complaining)
