Grizzly Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I hope they have talked to Street about the strength of his commitment to Canada. I would hate for someone like that to take up a youth training spot and then play for England. Australia now has a policy that players who are trained under their national team development centres have to pay back government funding for their training with interest if they decide to play for another country. This is inspired by the number of Australians of Croatian ethnicity who chose to play for Croatia. On the other hand it may not be that useful a policy either because if Street is good enough to play for England I doubt the amount of money he would have to pay back would be much of a disincentive.

That is a very good idea. Dylan Hughes used to do that. But some how I doubt that that Aussie policy is even legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this Mexican team won 5-1 against Japan a few days ago I think that's an encouraging result a few weeks before the qualifying begins.

masster Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 SOC-U17-Cda-Mex INDEX: Sports MEXICO CITY - Mexico scored two late goals to earn a 2-1 win over Canada in an under-17 men's soccer friendly on Sunday. Canada was leading 1-0 when goaltender Adam Street was given a red card for a challenge in the box in the 77th minute. Raul Nava scored on the ensuing penalty to tie the match 1-1. Mexico scored the winning goal in the 85th minute, as captain Daniel Corvantos converted a corner kick. Marcus Johnstone opened the scoring in the match, giving Canada a lead in the 59th minute. "We had a good first half.," said Canadian assistant coach Ray Clark. "When we had the ball the players looked to build through the midfield and when we didn't have the ball they defended with purpose. However, in the end we lacked a little experience when attempting to hold the lead." Assistants Clark and Andrea Di Pietrantonio filled in for Canadian head coach Steven Hart, who is Bermuda with Canada's senior team. (CP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 Here's a good report from the CSA: Men’s U-17 Team Sunday, March 25, 2007 Canada’s U-17 team shows promise in 1:2 loss to México Canada (U-17) 1:2 México(match report) OTTAWA (ONTARIO) – Less than a week into their Méxican training camp, Canada’s U-17 team put together their best performance to date in an international friendly against México’s U-17 team. Despite the 1:2 loss, the Canucks came walk with plenty of positives, a performance which could be considered a moral victory now that they are less than a month away from their CONCACAF Group B qualification tournament from 21-29 April in Jamaica. “We had a good first half,” says coach Ray Clark. “When we had the ball, the players looked to build through the midfield and we didn’t have the ball, they defended with purpose. In the end, however, we lacked a little experience when attempting to hold the lead.” Marcus Johnstone scored the lone goal for Canada at the 59th minute, but México stormed back with goals from Raul Nava (77th minute) and captain Daniel Corvantos (85th minute) to capture the victory. In the first half, México got the first scoring chance when they hit the post and failed to capitalize on the rebound. Canada fired back with a Randy Edwini-Bonsu shot on goal and an Olivier Lacoste-Lebuis free kick. Lacoste-Lebuis’ free kick was drilled from 16 yards out and just missed the top-right corner of the net. México came back with a chance of their own, but Canadian keeper Adam Street stretched out and directed the ball wide. A few minutes later, Canada’s Dalvir Malhi just missed the short side of the net. In the second half, Johnstone got the Canucks on the board when he beat the Méxican netminder to the ball and knocked it in for the goal. Canadian goalkeeper Street had started the play when he hit a long pass to Edwini-Bonsu who then turned and fed it up to Johnstone. México nearly scored three minutes later off a corner kick, but the ball was headed off crossbar before heading out. Eleven minutes later, it was the Canadians who got close: this time, a series of passes led the Mohamed Sylla breaking in and just missing the goal. Four minutes later, though, the Méxicans tied up the game after Canadian goalkeeper Street challenged the striker and was shown a red card. Raul Nava scored on the ensuing penalty kick. Eight minutes later, Méxican captain Daniel Corvantos scored the winner when he was left alone in front of the net on a corner kick. Corvantos made no mistake for the winning goal. “Overall, I think it’s the best game that we have played in the last two years,” says Lacoste-Lebuis. “We did well to build the game from the back when we had possession. More importantly, we remained calm under pressure. “We should be proud of ourselves,” continues Lacoste-Lebuis. “If we continue to play like we did today, we should have success. I think our performance today was a good indicator of our potential.” Canada’s next game is 27 March against Club America. Head coach Stephen Hart should be back at the helm after spending a week with the national team in Bermuda. Ray Clark and Andrea Di Pietrantonio had been handling the coaching duties in Hart’s absence. Canada will play in CONCACAF’s five-team Group B Qualification tournament from 21-29 April in Jamaica. The Group includes Jamaica, Costa Rica, Trinidad & Tobago and the United States. The top three teams in the group will advance to the FIFA U-17 World Cup which takes place in the Republic of Korea from 18 August to 9 September.
