Free kick Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 With WCQ just over three weeks away I couldn't help but wonder if he may feel that he might be risking too much by playing in the WCQ campaign. Perhaps that might be one other reason why Yallop checked out Sutton this past week. Granted, there have been players who have played for our past MNT's who were unattached. But in Hirshfeld's case, an injury might adversely impact his ability to land that next deal. Then again, not playing means he loses those valuable "international" credentials on his resume.

Cheeta Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I wouldn't think an injury is his greatest risk right now. More likely the threat of loosing the man for a number of periods over the next year (or hopefully two) is working against Lars when it comes to his value for potential employers. And that's an awful worry. If Lars is Canada's #1 keep but is playing club football below his quality because of his international commitments that's got to be a load on Yallops mind. Hard to have your #1 at his best for his national duties when he's playing footie in a lower grade. Real double edged sword for Lars and Yallop.

Crazy_Yank Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Why would you play a keeper that has been riding the bench when you have Onstad, who has been playing out of his mind for San Jose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta agree with that one, especially with Onstad having performed so well FOR YALLOP last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueviking Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 he plays "out of his mind" with his club side, but has never stepped it up with the nats....i am not confident with him, he seems to stink it up when he puts on a red jersey. just my gut feeling from past observation.
