Aljarov Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Gavin Russell is apparently not at Shelbourne any more. He said he is on the Lynx roster for this year so we can chalk him off the MOACA list for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 quote:Originally posted by Aljarov Okay, could his absence be to do with him playing for Wales U21? Is he no longer eligible for Canada? He was on the list while in Holland. I didn't realise he was playing in Wales. However, his eligiblity is a question because there are some who argue he did appear for Wales in an "official" match. I'll put him on for now. As for his brother, not too sure what to do with the likes of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aljarov Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Justin Isidro is no longer in Portugal, he's at home in Vancouver on the look out for a new club. Apparently the youth/reserve teams in Portugal are no longer in a league so they were effectively shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aljarov Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'll rephrase that - they ended the reserve league which is where Isidro was playing, not the Youth team. (The youth teams are still there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The Rochester Raging Rhinos announced today that they have signed defender Leigh Sembaluk. Sembaluk has spent his last two summers playing for Columbus Clan FC (Vancouver, BC). Most notably, he spent two years (2001-03) in the Canadian U-17 and U-20 National Team player pools. "Leigh brings balance to our left side, both as a midfielder or left back," said Calloway. "We were very impressed with his performance at the NAIA championships in Kansas in early December. He has a tremendous work ethic and has been a big part of Simon Fraser's success. He is an accomplished defender and attack player and can play right full back and midfield positions as well." http://www.rhinossoccer.com/news/article.php?id=728 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Alvin Hudson has left Atlanta Silverbacks: "The Silverbacks parted ways with defender Alvin Hudson, defender Luis Liendo, midfielder Josh Smith, and forward Machel Millwood. Hudson and Liendo were released...Hudson made nine appearances for the Silverbacks in 2007, his only season with the club. He played for the Minnesota Thunder in 2003 and the Milwaukee Rampage in 2002, and was a member of the Canadian Under-20 and Under-17 National teams." http://www.atlantasilverbacks.com/news/displaynews.php?id=702&cat=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 It is good to see that with the opening up of Canadians and Americans as domestics throughout the USL that some Canadians are now signing in the US after last year when it seemed it was only Americans signing in Canada. If MLS is going to water down the Canadian content so much like they did this year then they should do the same thing and open up the whole league to Canadians and Americans.

VPjr Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 ^ Agreed that it is a poor attitude. Unfortunately, there are quite a few young players who, for various reasons, are not keen to represent Canada in soccer. In the case of this young man, time will tell if either country has any interest in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wanted that SFU kid to get his day in the sun and figured some people might have missed it, since it wasnt commented on. Cant wait until March and someone else's name gets to be drawn out of a hat so that they can have their turn as the monthly target of back-handed (and the occasional front-handed)attacks.

It's our challenge and that of the CSA (or CSF) to make Canada a viable option to up-coming players, else sure, they're going to keep passing up their home team in favour of a more established and reputable Federation. I also don't think that it's fair to compare opportunities to the parents in this context - Canada offers a LOT of things to prospective immigrants, an established professional/international soccer framework just happens not to be one of them.

Aljarov Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I found another Canadian playing in Asia (thanks to the Asian HR for Football Manager). This is from his email to me... One is called "Eugene Kan Pak Shui" who is Hong Kong/Canadian based player, whose mother and father are from Hong Kong and then mirgrated to Canada. He is now on free but no one knows where he is now. Seems he doens't have a team but might be worth putting on a 'Watch List'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
