Keegan Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 If the kid is playing in first team consistently throughout summer there is no reason we should be calling Terry Dunfield ahead of him to be perfectly honest come WCQ. #fact. #movement. There is no reason we should be calling Dunfield either way. With Saiko, Di Chiara and Bernier hopefully coming back from injury I don't see how Hart can justify calling Dunfield if all mids are healthy. I'd honestly rather see Peters or Stalteri in Dunfield's position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. killinger Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Great news! Glad to see him start in such a competitive league. And not a moment too soon, we need some new blood at CM. De Guzman is on the wrong side of 30, as is Bernier. Dunfield and Johnson are good, hardworking players but have limited skill sets. Hopefully DiChiara, Saiko, Matt Lam and Oscar Cordon can get a call up this qualifying cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Saiko an exciting prospect but not playing at a level that inspires confidence in me that he'll get us over the Panama-esque-sized hump we have in front of us. As for Lam....not been following him in Japan. Cordon....not even in TFC first team..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest uno Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG4hd7M3G2o Highlights for 1st half I added two goals to this video, because Joseph's role in them is a matter to watch and discuss. Goalkeeper, of course is the main person to blame. Head coach, by the way, said during press-conference, that Joseph did well, and there's no his fault in these goals. The shooting players should have been covered by other player of our team. But still, i'll let you decide. 2nd half Highlightshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO0cSzQfdZY Edited June 23, 2011 by uno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks for that Uno. I think on the second goal we have no way of seeing who should have been covering the opponent with the ball in that clip, though the goalie should probably have had that shot. On the first goal Joseph is covering for the winger who lost his man and was not able to close down in time. Again, the goalie should have probably had that shot. He generally looks comfortable on the ball and makes nice, safe passes, but the odd time he seems to lead the player he is passing to a little too far. He made a couple of good tackles and disprupted well for the most part. The more he plays, the more he should improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Hard to believe that was his first pro start, he was getting stuck in, had a go, nice little back heel, couple nicely sprayed balls... This kid has a really bright future if he stays on course. He reminded me of Dejan Jakovic with Atiba Hutchinson's size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardencity Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 How do we get Uno a Voyageurs T shirt....seems awfully well deserved to me and I'm willing to pick up the tab. This may be a strategy we have to rely upon for the CSA to get our best crop of players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be a strategy we have to rely upon for the CSA to get our best crop of players! That's actually a really great idea, and I'm surprised I haven't seen that suggested before, for all the other potential Canadian players. Showing the players that the fans care even before they suit up for Canada can't hurt; perhaps the fence-sitters would feel more appreciated, and those already committed to Canada would only feel more justified about their commitment.

This may be a strategy we have to rely upon for the CSA to get our best crop of players! oh, i'd be honoured to wear this t-shirt, but I believe the price of the shipment to Russia will bite, lol )) This Sunday we're having last game against Spartak Nalchik who's on the last place in the table. So this is going to be an extremely improtant game. After that game summer break starts and the team will play next game on 25th of July against CSKA. I really hope Joseph can hold his first-team place after the summer break, but i predict it will be very hard thing to do, because of the rumours that we're signing 3 more experienced players (they say there's even 2006 World Champion).

Guest uno Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Message to Tony Fonseca regarding Joseph performance sent, let's hope for a call-up. (BTW when Canada will play next international game ?) I also sent a letter to the press-officer of our club, and they ready provide CSA with all video of Joseph they need. The ball is on CSA's side now, I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest uno Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I wonder how DiChiara likes play for a club where its fans are openly racist? Our club was the first in Russia who had players from another countries, and during last 15 years we always had players from Africa,Asia, South America and there never were such incidents. So i wonder how can you tell about all club's fans only seeing one idiot throwing a banana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brethers Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Could also be similar to that Neymar incident where a German bloke actually threw the Banana at him from the Brazilian section of the crowd. Racism is horrible, but as Uno says, don't tar all the fans because of this one person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has financial problems. Six coaches have been fired already this season in the league. So, if this coach goes, where does it leave Joseph? He has been a big supporter of Joseph, but I fear a new coach could send him to the reserves.” two mistakes: 1) no more financial problems 2) There are no thoughts of hiring new head coach in the club. President of the club gave a vote of confidence to the head coach saying that :"If the Head Coach is ever leaving, then me and the sponsors will do the same thing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If players were trying to avoid clubs with racist fans, then there wouldn't be local tournaments in Spain or Italy, and lots of other countries...

The ball is on CSA's side now, I guess Thanks for keeping us up to date on Joseph's progress and for contacting the CSA. The ball is most def. with the CSA now... hopefully they will buck their recent history and not trip over it. BTW, Canada begins world cup qualification in September, but hopefully we will have a friendly or two before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'm gonna guess if Joe gets a call up it'll be to the U23 squad first. Qualifiers are next March so we should have a camp or two this Fall/Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklefan Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 IMO, a Canadian player getting minutes in the RPL should be called to the senior squad, not the U20 and neither the U23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 ^I'm not sure the MNT can ignore midfielders who are playing in competitive leagues right now or just showing promise in general. I'd even include Cordon in this, and maybe even Alderson. We play with three in the middle and yet we really only have Hutchinson, DeGuzman, Johnson, Dunfield, Bernier, and Pacheco. If we get a couple injuries, we may need to call one of these guys. I'd rather they get some experience in the minnow round, than have to come in against a greater side.

gardencity Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 IMO, a Canadian player getting minutes in the RPL should be called to the senior squad, not the U20 and neither the U23. Don't forget they are having a poor season, so why not mix it up a bit and bring in a couple of fresh faces to keep the veterans thinking about their jobs and to give the young guys a look. As quoted by Yoda: "One game starting in RPL does not a CMNT player make". To Uno: your full address for mailing purposes...what size are you?

Grizzly Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 IMO, a Canadian player getting minutes in the RPL should be called to the senior squad, not the U20 and neither the U23. Exactly! He should also get called for important U23 matches but if he is getting time in RPL his first call should be for the Men's National Team because we need an upgrade in his position.
