jpg75 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Not sure of any details at this point. Judging from the '89 and '90 groups, the player pool for this cycle is going to be one of the most talented ever. We should qualify for 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I compiled a small list of prospective players for the new U20 pool. I may have missed a few names, probably from the 90 group. Some of the unattached 90's may also be with the Whitecaps residency, if anyone has the list of players with the Caps, please post it. GK: Julien Latendresse-Levesque (91) Metz Adam Street (91) West Ham Defenders: Nana Attakora-Gyan (89) Toronto FC Gabe Gala (89) Toronto FC Kennedy Owusu-Ansah (89) Hertha BSC Olivier Lacoste-Lebuis (90) Strasbourg Alex Martinez (89) Atlas Randy Edwini-Bonsu (90) Metz Sean Rosa (90) Metz Philippe Davies (90) Metz Midfielders: Michael Nonni (89) Groningen Matt Lam (89) Ajax Amsterdam Shaun Shaiko (89) Middlesborough Brandon Bonifacio (89) Cambuur-Leuwarden Joey Melo (89) Toronto FC Devin Gunenc (90) Vancouver Mohommed Sylla (90) Unattached(?)

An Observer Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 M Michael Perriera, ex Porto, now in US college. F Todd Rutteledge, US college but played in the Scotland series a couple of years back I think Rosa is a winger If memory serves correctly, I believe Hyde got good reviews at fullback for the U-17s I think you missed a few in germany as well F Alexander Hanne - Hansa Rostock (German Bundesliga 1) (1) A-Jugend RB/RM Eddy Sidra - Energie Cottbus (German Bundesliga 1) (1) A-Jugend D Tomasz Machul - 1860 München (German Bundesliga 2) (2) U17 - although he can play for Poland as well I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ed Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hanne doesn't seem to be with Hansa Rostock anymore. Doubt he figures at the national team level. Also, don't see Machul getting much p/t at 1860 U19's. Eddie/Mahir Sidra looks solid as a defender, playing 90 minutes every game for Energie Cottbus U19's in the U19 Bundesliga. I am not sure of his age. Transfermarkt has his birthday as 1/1/90 which I doubt as he played for a full season with U of A last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Jaswinder Gill and Michal Misiewicz are two keepers who have been invited to youth MNT camps/games in the past. Gill is the starting keeper for the University of Alberta. Misiewicz is listed as a member of Plymouth Argyle U-18 teams in the MOACA list.

canso Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Why did he start against Chile then? Forwards can't defend!!! That just does my head in!! He ruined my Canada Day and know you're telling me he was not only two years too young but he was played out of position!?!? Fookin Ell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 It's Shaun Saiko btw. I didn't know Rutledge was that young hmmm . . .

I think he's been recently converted as a striker for Groningen. As for him ruining your Canada Day I think you are unfair since ourt team was weak and Chile was miles ahead of us and we would never got out with a tie.

I agree we did look strong on paper, but that was with Jonathan De Guzman at Feyenoord, Steven Vitoria at Porto, Jacob Lensky at Celtic and Manny Gomez at River Plate. We all know how much those 4 played... Hey, what about that francophone kid from the east coast who played at Boca Jr.'s? Anyone know who i'm talking about? Was he an '89?

Ivan Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I would add defenders Will Hyde, Daniel Tannous & Adam Straith (Whitecaps) who all played regularly for the U17s, midfielder Antonio Rago (Whitecaps) and strikers Jarek Whiteman and Kyle Porter who played (and scored) for us at the U17s. Maybe Teal Bunbury playing in the US? All these guys are 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Come on people, you are naming for the most part the same kids that made up the U17 team that didn't qualify for the U17 World Cup. If you think that is the strongest group give me a break we are really in trouble. There is other talent out there but politics and favoritism ruins it and we see the same kids time after time who haven't proven themselves i.e. not qualifying get picked again for the next team or the next age group up. Time for a change. The successful Nigerian team's coach went all across his country and watched kids and then gathered the most talented together and then slowly narrowed it down. We should do the same thing. We need to look at how other countries have changed things around, not pick players but how influential their coach is or who their parent is or .... And by the way the Whitecaps residency again only has those same U17 players with the exception of one goalie, one younger kid from Alberta and two U19's from the Whitecaps U17/18 team. Niendorf and the Whitecaps are in bed with the CSA - they didn't look past that U17 group to start their Residency program. Again politics. Here's another question. Why did the U15's do so well in the Concacaf Caribbean cup tournament and win Gold in 2005 but two years later couldn't even qualify, placed last. There are other boys out there - I know of at least two players who were in the NTC but were injured most of last year so missed their opportunity but are every bit as good as those other players that were selected and I am sure there are others as well in the same boat. Also just because their names are associated with a European team does not mean that they are better. Look at Haber, played poorly at the U20's. Some of our Canadian kids do not have the heritage that allows them to play in Europe. What about kids who chose to play soccer and get an education. What about those excellent players who are in the NCAA or Canadian Universities or will be going next year. It seems with the Canadian teams that once you are in - you are in - it should be how you perform. There should be a pool of players but instead of just inviting the same ones over and over to be on the same non-performing team they should get the whole pool together a few times per year and look at them together and see how they perform then choose players for the next team based on performance. Time to put some money into proper scouting and preparation and shake things up a bit - quit picking the same players that don't get us anywhere.

Dude, time to step up and provide us with your list of individuals who should make up the next U20 team. Keep in mind that you need to come up with at least 18 players who are not listed on our running tally. Please provide name, club affiliation, YOB.
