NSXI - Interview with Vancouver Island FC Inaugural Signing Alexis McKinty

Have the USMNT been posting any updates? Why the hate on CSA from an American, if the US hasn’t been any more helpful? Is it clear that it is the CSA’s decision to have the matches be scrimmages?

But wouldn’t the same criticism apply to the USSF since we were playing them and they also don’t seem to have posted a stream or update about how the game went?  

Visakha announced his signing today.  

Definitely seems to have filled out.  Maybe a switch to CB is a better fit for him now as he really has been more of a 6 than an 8 anyway from what I understand.  I think TFC only has two veteran CBs on their roster so perhaps him and Dunn competing for playing time as back ups makes sense especially as the TFCs midfield looks pretty crowded including with Bradley and Fraser at the 6 and Osorio, Delgado and Priso at the 8.

Makes the Team if the week in league 1 !! Not a bad start!!!  

He simply stated a fact. The CSA is a joke.

They’ll need to move someone to give Priso, Fraser and Okello the time they need. a few years ago Wolfsburg tried to buy Okello for 7 figures, more than once, makes you wonder what the ceiling is. You don’t just pay for prospects from an academy if you don’t rate them highly.    bold prediction... he wins a spot at camp and eventually knocks Bradley to the bench.

Posting on a rival's board no matter what the sport or how much insight they may be deemed to offer never ends well, it's not like we don't recognize the failings of the CSA!  

tbh, with the wash out 2020 was in year 2 of this league and the fact that 2021 may not be much better, I will be very satisfied if by the end of the year none of the 8 sides have folded.  Expansion would not really be the top of my priority list at present. Keeping the current 8 alive would be.

He's right though - in this regard (keeping us informed for the first national team activity of any kind in 12 months (!)) the CSA does suck. One twitter post of a photo of ZBG isn't good enough. He'd be entitled to make the criticism here even if it wasn't the US that we were supposed to be playing. After all, it's not like he comes here to troll people, a lot of his insights on the US & the other Concacaf countries he's been keeping tabs on is quite useful and interesting. If it was a "Ah ha, you guys suck and so does your FA" that would be different, but criticizing them for keeping us all in the dark is fair game since so many of us have said the same thing and feel the same way.
