Back to Basics Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 As I was given word that Head Coach of York Carmen Issaco, won't be coaching Italia Shooters this summer I was also told that York U will being playing TFC's first team Sunday, February 1st at the OSA. The time hasn't been confirmed and I'm not yet aware if its open to the public.When I do I'll be sure to post. Any predictions on the match? Considering that this York side has mulitple players from the Shooters team that destroyed the TFC reserves during the summer. I say 4-2 York:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraSuperMegaMo Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I wonder who Nana will be playing for? I think it’s safe to assume this game will not be open to the public, as I don’t think any of TFC past training matches have been. I wouldn’t be shocked if TFC lost to York, they lost to the US U16 squad once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Is it not Feb 2nd that the first team returns? I suspect this game may actually involve TFC Academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraSuperMegaMo Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 TFC Academy have a terrible record against the Italia Shooters too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So destroing 16 years old kids competing against CSL players is very "nice" record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraSuperMegaMo Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The Shooters played a training match against the senior TFC reserve squad and beat them 4-1 - I’m pretty sure that’s what Back to Basics is referring to in his original post.

Juby Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 anybody I met who said they played for the York team (and could well be lieing) seemed completely useless at everything but monkey tricks. They'd warm up by kicking the ball to themselves as confidently as Zidane but would be completely counter productive as far as playing went, like completely lost out there, and then after two hours, they'd finally get a tap in and look around or say something like they finally showed who's the best after two hours of ****e. I hope for York's sake those kids are liars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TFC reserve squad may have been experimenting with a new formation, trying out players in different positions etc. You shouldn't read too much into something like that. I know of two amateur clubs in London, Ont. who were able to beat USL-D1 (back when it was the A League) and CSL (the 1987-1992 version) teams in games like that.

Back to Basics Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 July, I certainly have no clue who said that they are clearly a talented team. Only one loss the entire season ( the defaults don't count) the national champions and a class team. Perhaps you should visit the CIS website and watch the telecast off there games because I don't know who in there right mind said there terrible. If the results don't proove enough,look at there roster just by the names. Pena (csl rookie of the year) Whiteman (Canadian u-20,u-17) Bruno(former u-20,cis & oua mvp) karim (former u-20) Ladiyou (CIS championship MVP) Smith ( former oua&cis rookie of the year, and tfc hopeful)!!!!! Need I go on about the depth of these team. For footnotsaysoccer I was speaking when the shooters team played tfc reserves and thumped them 6-2. As for there academy what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger and they certainly hung in there. I can also now assure you it's the first team they will be playing.

Angelo Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I went to 3 shooter reserve games 2 against TFC and the shooters had an under 17 team playing both times so I don't think your info is accurate about using only first team players.

Angelo, with all my respect to dedicated fans coming from Edmonton to Toronto to watch reserves playing, I wasn't even going to comment on anything until I saw statements leading people to think that one team was so good and played a fair game (all reserve players) and that it was destroying TFC anytime they played etc. If you want to bet and loose me a ticket to Edmonton then I can come and watch some of your local games for free But do this first - go to OSA (Vaughan) and find CSL office (second floor), ask for game sheets and see the names of the players.

Angelo Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 No problem let's bet. Take a look at the roster of the last 2 games the shooters played against TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juby Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I said there terrible, read my message carefully, I have played against people 'claiming' to play for yorku, and they sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Was this the game that was the subject of this thread? http://toronto.fc.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd=20090202&content_id=215250&vkey=news_t280&fext=.jsp&team=t280 A group of U-16 Academy trialists beat UofT 3-2 by the sounds of things. I haven't seen York U recently so can't comment on them but most UWO games I have watched over the years have tended to be closer to 1st division level in WOSL (London, Ont's top local amateur league) terms than premier, in my opinion, so although there are certainly some very good players involved in elite amateur terms I don't think CIS level soccer is usually something to get too excited about in terms of finding future pro level players.
