Keegan Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 From FC Edmonton website: http://www.fcedmonton.com/news/2012-01-19/Three%20called%20up%20to%20Canada’s%20Olympic%20Training%20Camp So Canada has ruled out Matt Lam and Antonio Rago? I know Lam is injured right now but anyone know about Rago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Gagne Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Any word on who else got the call? Checked the CSA website... nada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 So far the right players are getting called. Hope this camp includes Teibert and Davies..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 davies, doesnt really deserve a call up....but ughhh okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 davies, doesnt really deserve a call up....but ughhh okay I think he does, don't just look at the mismanagement of the 2011 Caps. We are calling up Porter and Saiko who basically replicated what Davies did in 2010 with the Caps in the same league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 If Davies was in NASL last year he's playing and contributing the same as Saiko and Porter I imagine based on his 2010 season. Call him up to the camp. What can it hurt? If he performs he makes the team, if he doesn't.... The camp squad prob won't fully indicate who is all going to be a part of the group I think as guys like REB doubtfully will be at the camp yet he's said how excited he is for the Olympic Quals for Canada already....

Shway Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 There's actually alot of U-23 players, who have been actively playing whether its been the academy, reserves, or the first team, so to base someone from two seasons ago is a bit tough.

Lord Bob Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Davies also played quite well at USL PDL and in the MLS Reserves. I'm not saying we should drop Di Chiara for him, but I'd take Davies over some guy playing NCAA ten times out of ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 There's actually alot of U-23 players, who have been actively playing whether its been the academy, reserves, or the first team, so to base someone from two seasons ago is a bit tough. Still, you are calling players up from D2 in North America. It's a low level compared to the rest of the world. The Americans don't know the NASL even exists and are calling players up from MLS and Europe for their U23 team. We are not talking about a high criteria for Davies to meet. He would of been every bit as good, if not better, than the FCE players if he played in a 8 team league against lower competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 DiChiara defo ahead of Davies but Davies can also play RM as opposed to CM. I don't know the depth chart for this group well. Do we really have 4 CM ahead of Davies and/or 2-3 RM ahead of Davies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 DiChiara defo ahead of Davies but Davies can also play RM as opposed to CM. I don't know the depth chart for this group well. Do we really have 4 CM ahead of Davies and/or 2-3 RM ahead of Davies? CMs (hopefully): Di Chiara, Saiko, Gyorio, Bekker, Kajgo RM/RWs: Porter, James, Davies, (Pisanjuk and REB, I think both could fit into the right side) I'm sure I'm forgetting guys but when I thought of those positions right now those are the names that popped up.

Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'd add Stinson for CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'd add Stinson for CM. Wow, of course idk how I missed him.. though with Sidra being clubless and Rago not being called it makes me think that he may be slotted into right back.

ThiKu Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks guys. I appreciate standing corrected. Good responses. Yes, Stinson in the group for sure! But wouldn't Porter and REB be forwards not wingers? I know both can play there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThiKu Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Any Mention of Hoilet in this call up? Hoilett would never be released for such a situation. FIFA-required match days only.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Babayele Sodade (drafted by the seattle sounders) has been added to the camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well that would be complete BS if they didn't as every American in MLS is sure to be released im sure they will release him just not on the 13th , he'll probably be there sometime after the 14th i hope, cause it is Torontos philosophy to have players play for Canada and Canada only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
