stacks Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Has Pesch played his last game for Canada? He is playing well for his club side, but had a poor showing in wcq last fall. Would be a great super-sub still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Fury Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Pesch was one the greatest strikers Canada produced, but he is in the same category as Onstad. He's still in the player-pool, but we have better options at this point and should be building for the future. I don't think we will see Pesch play again unless we are decimated with injuries.

RJB Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Pesch was so disappointing in the Guatemala game in WCQ in Vancouver, that I think he played his way out of the MNT. At this rate, I would say that yes, he is done for Canada, for the reasons posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownaguy Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Pesch will not be here for 2010 qualifying, so why not let one of the young guys (Hume, Occean , Dero..etc..) get the playing time at the striker position who will be playing in that qualifying tourney.

Peschfan Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Sadly, it looks like Pesch may have suited up for the last time for Canada. although youy never say never, its looks like like Yallop is building for the future as he should be. unless the squad is depleted with injuries it looks like he will be overlooked for selection. played well against Belize, not so much in the Semis, however cant be fully to blame for that debachle. would be nice to see him against Portugal, he is playing well with his club to warrant a call up, but not likely to happen. Thanks Pesch for 80 caps in 18 years of service to Canada and 53 caps in 12 years for the Senior team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him as a 16 yr old CSL Rookie of the Year, tearing up the field for the Toronto Blizzard. His attacking was simply electrifying. The best game he ever played for Canada had to be at Edmonton against Chile in the Canada Cup. He had the Chileans in a complete panick, and the turning point of the match was when he left the field injured. Canada lost momentum and Chile went on to win a close one.

youllneverwalkalone Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 So what's his next move? About this time last year he moved from Blades to be in the starting eleven. To me it's starting to look like his competitive English career is not that far behind his international one. I wonder if he'll drop a league or two to play more regularly? Or just retire? Regardless, I hope he can use his "influence" to help a few Canadian youngsters get a look at Birmingham. Hopefully until then he has a few more goals in him to help Rams get promoted.
