Footy Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Canadian team head coach Frank Yallop says he’s considering five Whitecaps for July exhibition games against Hearts of Scotland and Millwall of England. Canada plays Hearts on July 12 and Millwall on July 14 at Swangard. Valente, Corazzin, striker Davide Xausa, midfielder Martin Nash and defender Kevin Harmse are the White- caps that Yallop is considering. Other friendly matches involving the touring U.K. teams are July 11, when Millwall plays the Vancouver Metro League all-stars at Coquitlam Town Centre Stadium; July 14, when Hearts meets the Pacific Coast Soccer League all-stars at Victoria’s Royal Athletic Park, and July 17, when Hearts plays Millwall at Swangard. Canada opens a six-game CONCACAF semi-final World Cup qualifying series against Guatemala Aug. 18 at Swangard.

nolando Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 No Franks. Guess he's out of the running. Maybe it was the injury or maybe it was just the play of Sutton and Kenny (and Dan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 ...and that pretty much cements Clarke's exclusion from any future MNT participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footy Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 Frank's must be in bad shape did not even dress for the ladt Whitecaps game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarnCherry Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Franks is really hurt, thats why he's not included. He wasn't even on the bench for the last game, they had Trevor "Nobby" Stiles as the backup keeper. Had Franks not been injured he'd be greatly considered, not because he's outplayed the other you mention (though having seen Sutton play against the Caps, I've noticed he sees very little action which would greatly improve any keepers record and stats) but because they wouldn't have to fly a keeper across the country for what isn't a real international match. Too bad these games come at a busy time in the Caps schedule. The WHitecaps play games on July 9, July 10, July 13th, and July 16th. Sandwich another 2 games for 5 Whitecaps players on the 12th and 14th and thats a recipy for disaster. We might even be forced to dress Fonseca!

Gian-Luca Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Is Sulentic injured? He's listed in the Canada match programme as a member of the World Cup team, I would have expected to see him called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
