Keegan Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 This might be the problem, because DC doesn't want to release Deleon because they are releasing Najar and they play the same position. Yes but Seattle is deep at forward and Cato isn't likely to feature anyways, I'm sure you'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarnado1555362291 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 ^ Gala has been MIA for awhile and Owusu-Ansah was last at FC PoPa in Finland's 2nd tier. He is no longer listed with PoPa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Where are Gala and Owusu even playing? Gabe Gala was playing in the CSL last season...KOA in Finnish 2nd division as Tarnado mentioned...it seems every cycle some of the more talented teens end up flopping out in their early-20's, just goes to show being a good professional takes as much mental strength as talent.

ThiKu Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 ^Kinda wondering then why Keegan would even bring up those two players? I know he said "not surprising"...but still... Anyway, I think the team is good. We may or may not qualify but the guys selected all seem fairly stable in their careers (more of them are stable than aren't I guess...)

Both were around the Canadian youth levels and even part of the 2007 U20 WC team a cycle early... KOA trialled for LA Galaxy as a 16 year old and then went to Europe. Wasn't suggesting they had a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 In case anyone is curious, the US weren't able to get West Ham's Sebastian Lletget or Hertha Berlin's Alfredo Morales. It doesn't mean those two are definitely not going to be there as they're still working on getting them released but they weren't able to name those to the roster they announced today.

gator Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I have word from somebody ITK that Ashtone Morgan will be released for the U-23's barring any injuries or changes with TFC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayto Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Congratulations and good luck to all involved. With Kyle Bekker and Evan James' selections a quite remarkable streak continues. Since the 1990 age group first became eligible for Canadian youth caps at the Caribbean Youth Cup in 2005 at least one member of Phil Iafrate's Oakville Blue Stars has been selected for every National youth team. In total seven different Blue Stars have played for Canada: Bekker and James; Alex Semenets; William Hyde; Andrew Barsalona; Shomesh Chaudhuri; and Macca Wilde. Three of them (Bekker, Hyde and Wilde) played their house league soccer in Oakville and were Blue Stars at U9. Semenets, Barsalona and Chaudhuri left their home clubs to join the Blue Stars at U11 and Evan played in Mississauga before joining the Blue Stars at U16. I can't imagine there has ever been one team (male or female, in any sport) that can come close to that record of accomplishment. The nice thing about forums like this is that someone is going to tell me I'm wrong! Phil should be very proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pathetic the U.S. still has to rely on Freddy Adu instead of giving other promising youngsters a chance. Most American fans are too stupid to realize he's not the "wonderkid" he was hyped up to be when he was 15 yrs old. I hope Canada upsets the Yanks so they stop cheating and stacking the roster with overage African mercenaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can't fault them for using him, he's under 23 and clearly one of their best players in that category... whether he is actually 22 is another question.

ChrisB Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Is there any thought that Canada and TFC have talked and TFC said that if Morgan is part of the CMT plan for WCQ, then they will not release him for this as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brethers Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 TFC can't refuse a call-up to the CMNT for WCQ. They are in FIFA windows and will all be played regionally anyway... I think ChrisB meant is it possible TFC would refuse a U23 call up as Morgan is also in our WCQ plans. I'm not sure, I think they'd refuse a call up to the U23s because he is developing into an integral part of their starting lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 For all of the U23s? Or just the semis (if we make it)? Sorry it took me a while to follow up! It now looks like Ashtone will NOT be released at all, I'm not sure why, possibly because of TFC's advancement in the CCL! Really too bad because the team could certainly use him and he was looking forward to the tournament! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
