Champs Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 its really funny how 13 M SEMINARA, Pasubio Carlo Salernitana Sport S.p.A. (Italy) 24-May-88 Caledon East ON is also listed on his club teams roster for the tournament. Looks like he's goin to play for 2 teams.lol..anyways i could comment on a few players from ontario that made the squad. Johnson Akouko he's been training wit Ntc ontario and loooks in good form. Also Carlos Rivaas of Cruz Azul (mexico) U-20 has been training with the Ntc ontario because of a shoulder injury. So he's going back to mexico in 2 weeks. Aslo look out for Shane Lammie..This player is going to make it big some day. Very quick pace..but most of all has great skill. He's are next Peters.

kelownaguy Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Champs, if memory serves me right, when this U17 team played in some exhibition tourney a month or two ago, Lammie was the guy that seemed to impress the most and scored majority of our goals. Can't remember off hand where these games took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownaguy Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I just went back and checked, found the threads around November 1 time frame, our U17 team beat El Salvador 4-2 in San Salvadore, Shane Lammie had 2 of the goals and aided in another one by creating a penalty. He also had a goal in the 3-1 loss to the US U17 team. I should of bumped the thread to see if the roster was pretty similar to the one going to Italy, but I believe most of it is.

bettermirror Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 alright! local boy from chilliwack makes good!!! what club does he play for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 The regs are interesting. The Group matches will only be 70 minutes long, because of no rest days. The semis will be 80 ', with immediate penalty kicks if tied. The final (3rd place to be decided by fair play quotient among semi losers) will be 80' too, with a extra 20 minute extra time followed by penalty kicks if still tied. 7 substitutes are permitted for each match. Group tiebreaks (only the Group winners advance):1) Points - 2) penalty kicks if tied teams are playing last group match- 3) Outcome of direct matches between tied teams- 4) Goal difference total matches - 5) Goals total matches - 6) Lots It's good that Canada plays the extra match with the Japanese club (if neither makes the final) so that they will get a lot of preparation in. In case you are trying to remember, the qualifying tournament for the U-17 Worlds in Peru in Sept 15-October 2, will be played sometime in April or May. Mexico is hosting the 2005 CONCACAF Under-17 Final Round Group B, which also includes Canada, Haiti and Honduras. The fixtures for this quadrangular are yet to be finalized, but the event must be played during the months of April or May 2005. The top of each Group advances, and the 2nd place plays the 2nd of the other Group in a home-and-away for the 3rd CONCACAF spot for the 16 team Worlds. Arco is located in the Northeast, very close to the City of Trento. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beaver Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Damn they look young. Sounds like a good tournament for preparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I notice none of the 1988 UK contingent are with the team: Thomas McLean (Burnley), Jacob Lensky (Celtic) and Bruno Napoleao (Newcastle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownaguy Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Last we heard about Lensky here was that his dad wants him to play for the Czech Republic and wasn't interested in him playing for Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Observer Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Is Napoleao with Newcastle? I didn't know that. That's good news. No 89s on this team. I believe the last U-17 had about 5 including Peters and Lombardo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I thought the article on Lensky inferred that his father wanted to leave open the possibility of his son playing for (I thought it was Slovakia, not Czech Republic), but I had not seen anything written in "stone". It was posted on here about three months or so ago that Napoleao was going to Newcastle on trial. I had not heard or seen anything that he has come back or completed his trial unsuccessfully, so I can only assume he is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo06 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Napoleao is back home right now. I just saw him a few ays ago. I was told he went through trials with Portsmouth, Charlton, and Albion in the summer but he had troubles with attaining a work permit despite interest from the clubs. Moreover, he is booked to have surgery very soon to correct some rare type of syndrome in his legs. That may be why he is not partaking in the trip. From what I've seen he is by far the best 88 from AB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Thanks for the update Ricardo06. Hope for the boy's sake, the surgery goes well. He sounds like a great prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Just some information on this tour for the Under 17 squad. Top two Favorites In each groups (but only one advances) Group One Milan, Atalanta. These two teams have had battles and some good futbol games tuff to pick. But as a Milan fan I will give the edge to Milan to win the tournament. Group two Juve and Fiorentina Bascally all in 2nd place teams currently in thier division also a tough group but i will give the edge to Juve. Group three Canada - Parma Canada should not have problems here as most of the teams may not be at the level of Canadas as all the team 4 and 5th place standings here. Canada should advance to the next round and have a better challenge with Milan. Group four Inter Roma Roma and inter closely matched either can go to the final but I will pick Roma to finish on top. Semi - Milan - Canada (Milan) Juve --- Roma (Juve) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
