Kansas also isn't great again this year, which will likely present more opportunities. He got off to a good start last year (not even close to this good but not bad either) but couldn't maintain it over the course of the season. Sort of a Bair situation- it's great he's doing this, but let's see if he can maintain a high level. Edit: And I hope he can! Would be great to see. -

Shaffelburg went to a top tier prep school in the U.S (my cousin to the same school for hockey 20 years ago). He also played summer PDL (I believe) in the U.S during that time. If he never left N.S and didn't get the training, competition and exposure that he got in the U.S, would he have developed the same? Would TFC, or anyone else given him a sniff? No to both questions is my answer. Do you know how hard it is to stand out on a national stage when your team get smacked at club nationals by bigger provinces even if you're a really good player? After having lived in several provinces in Canada (and playing university soccer for a few schools), it's clear to me there is a provincial hierarchy for pro soccer prospects in this country. Group A is Ontario, and then below them B.C, Quebec, Alberta. Group B is everyone else. Your chances of becoming a pro, regardless of your talent level, shrinks atomically if you are from a group B province. It seems that Calgary and Edmonton are the cut off as far as what's required to produce a pro player. Winnipeg, at a couple hundred thousand people less, doesn't have the same development ability. This is due to several factors, but the biggest in my mind is competition. Winnipeg is just so isolated that top players don't get challenged playing in the city and Winnipeg doesn't have a Calgary or Edmonton 3 hours up the road to play against, and they don't regularly attend tournaments in B.C the way the top Alberta teams or the Pacific NW they way BC teams do or the U.S the way top teams in Ontario might (along with other strong competition from Quebec and Ontario teams).. If you're from Halifax, and you're a top player, how do you get better? If you make it to club nationals/provincial teams you get to play against top level competition once every year or two. Other than that you play against crappy Maritime teams and maybe 2 decent teams in the Halifax region. How does that improve you as a player? How does that raise your level? It doesn't. It means you have to get out of there to a full time training environment, and how the hell are you going to accomplish that being on the East coast? Coaching is a big issue in this country no doubt. But even if you have the best coaching in the world, it doesn't mean anything if you don't stay sharp playing against strong competition. -
First touch was a bit heavy but his second touch was very subtle. Moved it just far enough away from the defender to allow his third touch to be a perfect weight into the path. David's awareness to time his pull away and be available for the pass is top notch. -
Seen on twitter, speculative final six candidates for Korea job: Jesse Marsch, Herve Renard, Senol Gunes, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Vasco Seabra, and Garry Monk. Some overlap there, I wonder if the other names are also options for Canada. Also wondering if Korea job is a domino that needs to drop before next steps on Canada job.
