Guest Ed Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I was going somewhere with my kids yesterday and just caught a minute or so of Inside Track on CBC Raio.

MM2 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 It was a Canadian player from BC who because of her Jamaican heritage played for Jamaica in WCQ. She felt she was good enough to play for Canada, but didn't make any of Canada's teams because of her style of play (control, passing etc.) Didn't catch her name Her husband made a documentary on her experience. quote:Originally posted by Ed I was going somewhere with my kids yesterday and just caught a minute or so of Inside Track on CBC Raio.

Guest Ed Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks. Another girl with 'too much Brazil' for Pellerud and his followers. Good riddance to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjarne Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Lianne McCarty maybe? I believe she played at UBC in the late 90's and I had heard that she had played for Jamaica- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ref Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Let us not forget Daniela Fuenzalida who also wasn't good enough for Canada u20 but ended playing for Chile in the recent world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 CBC Inside Track 25 Jan 2009: A Reggae Girl, Lianne McHardy, Rafael Arguello, Boardercross Primer Lianne McHardy, a Canadian-Jamaican soccer player and her husband Rafael Arguello talk about their award-winning documentary "A Reggae Girl". It chronicles her life and soccer career as she attempts to help Jamaica qualify for the World Cup. Also, snowboarder Drew Neilson on the finer points of his exciting event - Boardercross. Podcast There are lots of people who believe they are good enough to make national teams but are never selected. Usually there is a valid reason and whomever is the head coach of the day has the final say. But no matter who the head coach is there will always be people who disagree with one or more of the selections. Its like refereeing and the Laws of the Game: "If in the opinion of the referee...". Just learn to live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Agree 100% on all of that, and making the countries mentioned is much easier than cutting Canada's cloth. But kudos to anyone who loves the sport enough to relocate to play though. What about the GTA Trini U17's who were cut from Canada but played for Trinidad this Summer? Life must seem a little Stephen King these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 ^ That's just the way it is with the beautiful game. If it was all simple and straightforward (black and white you might say, with no shades of gray) this board wouldn't exist because there would be little if anything controversial to argue about.

The Ref Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 ^ No argument there. I am sure that as soon as the new coach call up her first batch of players for a practice, even a game, we will be questioning some of her choices and some of the players left behind. I hope the new coach will replace the existing staff, specially dinosaurs like Les. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ref Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 ^fortunately he only has a few more months left. After that he should move to T&T, those two jokers deserve each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfan Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 ^ I don't think Les will be going south. Pelleruds job description in Trinidad includes: "coaching, laundry, taxi service for players " etc. I am sure he will do a good job at all of the above with the exception of "coaching".
