ThiKu Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Why do people keep talking about Floro "finding" Canadian players. Who could he possibly find that the lads on this board haven't! Although two Canadians I have come across are Kalifa Konneh (he is somewhere down in Brazil I think?), and a lad named Sukunda @ Auxerre (I think that's the club).

Blackdude Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I think that Floro will optimize this team to the best of its abilities. That's his job. I don't think that he'll "find" Canadians. Oh and Sukunda is now with the Montreal Impact "U-21" team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always one or two players that appear out of nowhere. I am not 100% but I believe that Pacheco was called up to the CMNT before anyone here had heard of him.

Is this the Kalifala Konneh who played with the Whitecaps Residency U-16s for a bit in 2011-12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Is this the Kalifala Konneh who played with the Whitecaps Residency U-16s for a bit in 2011-12? Are you telling me that he's as Canadian as Randy Edwini-Bonsu is Finnish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Are you telling me that he's as Canadian as Randy Edwini-Bonsu is Finnish? I know nothing about the kid beyond "hmm, I've heard that name. Don't remember him being very good." Though since I barely saw him don't take that as informed opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I have no idea if Konneh played for Whitecaps. He's a Canadian playing in Brazil on FM2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullback Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 He was supposedly a part of this squad. Unless he's different from Kalifala Konneh. http://www.canadasoccer.com/canada-m17-heads-to-usa-panama-for-november-camp-p152598 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzi44 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Crazy to think DiChiara was getting minutes in the Russian Premier League at 19 years old, and is at 22 playing league 1 in Ontario! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red and White Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Crazy to think DiChiara was getting minutes in the Russian Premier League at 19 years old, and is at 22 playing league 1 in Ontario! It could be attitude issues. In an article posted in this thread, he called MLS 'amateur' and basically said he'd never consider playing in it. Who knows, he could have burned bridges if those were his thoughts on MLS. Perhaps similar issues came up in NASL (I'm purely speculating)?

So that's 100% of Canadians thinking MLS is amateur who aren't playing professionally. Maybe it is attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The joke's on DiChiara. 100% of the players in MLS are professional soccer players, while he is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think a major red flag for me was when he got called into the Canada camp and the coaches never rated him enough to give him a minute or even call him back.. and we've reached for quite a few names over the years.

Barthez-Battalion Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Reading though the earlier comments in this thread and its pretty striking how hyped he was and how excited everyone was when he made his first team debut. Then he kind of disappeared off the face of the Earth and then returned to Canada to play in L1O. Wonder how many similar threads we can find on this board.
