El Hombre Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Guidelines for this thread * In this thread post match updates on all Canadians playing in MLS. * If you find updates posted in some other thread or on the other Voyageurs forum then post them here as well, but be sure to credit the original poster. * If there is news that is particularly significant (eg. someone scores a big goal, someone gets injured, etc.) then feel free to begin a new thread on that topic in order to draw greater attention or start a discussion, but also post that news here. * Some comments on news posted in this thread are okay, but let's not let this thread go off into a long discussion. If the news already appears in another thread (as per the previous bullet) then post your comments in that other thread, otherwise if you want to say something significant or if it is likely to generate replies then begin a new thread.

the Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ashtone Morgan, Oscar Cordon, Matt Stinson, Keith Makubuya and Teibert have signed, leaving 21 Canadians under contract in MLS with Harmse on trial. Not bad! How long before we see an all North American based NT game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThiKu Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 21 ... wow! Adding the Impact next year brings the list to 24 should all remain in MLS. Could start having North American camps just as the Americans do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Why does Vancouver only have two? I thought that Vancouver was supposed to be far ahead of Toronto in terms of the academy, but only two Canadians? I haven't followed the Whitecaps at all, can someone explain that?

loyola Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Why does Vancouver only have two? I thought that Vancouver was supposed to be far ahead of Toronto in terms of the academy, but only two Canadians? I haven't followed the Whitecaps at all, can someone explain that? They have 4 but one isn't eligible to play for us (Rochat is born here but played for the Swiss in a ECQ game). I must admit that as a Canadian fan I'm a bit disapointed with the Caps number of Canadians but I'm curious to see what Teibert, Dunfield and Davies can do at the MLS level. Those are guys who are knocking on the MNT door at the moment and a solid MLS season could mean a MNT spot when WCQ starts in September (Dunfield is the most likely IMO).

TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Plus you gotta remember Alderson with the residency, and the numerous others who will be with the PDL team. And that we lost Gage to Reading, and Porter is basically on loan for a year to the Impact, Updated: Chivas USA - Ante Jazic DC United - Dejan Jakovic - Pat Onstad FC Dallas - Edson Edward (Long Term Injury) Houston Dynamo - Andre Hainault New York Red Bull - Greg Sutton Real Salt Lake - Will Johnson Toronto FC - Nana Attakora - Adrian Cann - Julian de Guzman - Dwayne De Rosario - Doneil Henry - Nicholas Lindsey (Long Term Injury) - Gianluce Zavarise - Ashtone Morgan - Oscar Cordon - Matt Stinston - Keith Makubuya Vancouver Whitecaps FC - Philippe Davies - Terry Dunfield - Russell Teibert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 It's just a difference of approach. Toronto FC is being more aggressive than Vancouver signing their youth players. Guys like Cordon and Makuyuba aren't ahead of the likes of Jackson, Bassi, and Alderson much if at all; the difference is that Vancouver has signed their youth players if they have a real chance of contributing to the first team immediately and is otherwise leaving them in the PDL, while Toronto is using their youth players for depth and a sort of MLS "work experience". I'll be interested to see which strategy works out best. Also, comparing apples to apples, we should add that Whitecaps third-string goalkeeper Brian Sylvestre is a Residency graduate, but is also American.

canucklefan Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 m. And that we lost Gage to Reading, and Porter is basically on loan for a year to the Impact, It has been reported that Porter hasn't impressed the Impact staff. I think it only means that he won't play for the Impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 It's just a difference of approach. Toronto FC is being more aggressive than Vancouver signing their youth players.

I'll be interested to see which strategy works out best. There are two good reasons to sign these kids to pro contracts. First, you remove the possibility of them getting stolen by a non-MLS club. You spend time and money on developing these players and having them sign with another club is counterproductive. Second, with the limit on Academy players in reserve games (5 player limit) you provide an opportunity for other Academy players to test themselves. Now you can promote guys like Lao, Cavalluzo, Aleman, Camargo, Petrasso, Seymour etc. to play in the reserve matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 It is also a selling point to potential recruits. Players see that TFC are giving opportunities to young, home-grown players and will want to be part of the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 So both Pat Onstad and Greg Sutton were starters and winners in net for their respective teams. What year is it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Saturday MLS results: DC United 3-1 Columbus (Onstad and Jakovic played the full 90 min). NYRB 1-0 Seattle (Sutton played the whole game) Houston 0-1 Philadelphia (Hainault starts and is subbed out after 75 min) Chivas USA 2-3 Kansas City (Jazic played the whole game) San Jose 0-1 RSL (Johnson played the whole game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I see that Carlos "Buttmunch" Ruiz is back in the league this year and continued his tradition of giving flying elbows to the head of Canadian defenders - he caught Hainault with one 20 minutes into the game and how he did not get red-carded is a complete mystery to me.

villus Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Good to see Sutton get a starting job, he could be really handy for GC and the WCQ cycle with our GK depth being so short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Onstad and Jakovic go the distance for DC as they lose 2-1 to New England. Referee Baldomero Toledo with two awful calls to screw DC United on both goals - an obvious hand ball not called on the first goal, and then a horrible PK call for the 2nd goal, which earned Onstad a yellow for arguing the call. Edit: Jakovic actually picked up a red card deep in injury time - on another brutal call by Toledo (and his PK call for DC's goal wasn't much better). Not a great week for MLS officiating.

nolando Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Jazic has started at LB for Chivas at home to Colorado, just behind....Nick LaBrocca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Jazic was a second half sub (63') for Chivas as they lost away to Portland. It was Portland's first match at home, played before a sell-out crowd at small Merlo Field at the University of Portland. Boyens was sent off after accumulating two yellows in eight minutes of the first half: http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/portland-drop-chivas-usa-us-open-cup-play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
