Who do you want to see back on the canada team that would make a change


Recommended Posts

IMO we're missing a solid #1 keeper. Craig Forrest ca. 2000.

I was going to throw his name out there simply to take the piss (since he is comfortably retired and camped in the broadcast booth) but seriously top notch keeping is something that is a difference maker when you have a team that most of the time is going to be involved in tight matches.

Mark Watson. This team has ZERO bite, Nobody is afraid to play us. Of course he was a Vs whipping boy and could do no good, even the infamous phantom foul.

Remember this quote...

(From wikipedia) Before a 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup match in Japan, he implied that Canada would be willing to employ their physical style by noting that the Japanese players "don't run so fast when they're lying on the ground."

Watson a whipping boy? Aunger maybe, Watson just got criticized for his general lack of skill in an era when we had more bite than skill. (I mean, if all those Japanese players aren't so fast when they're on the ground, how'd we lose 3-0?) But your point is very well taken, now we have the reverse, we have skill but no oomph. Our squad is very milquetoast. The soup is bland.

^he's scored on what I believe is his debut for EB so I fully expect him in the squad for the next quals. He's already at a higher level than Hume and Ricketts....and I am a huge fan of both those players. If he is playing consistently until the next round....gotta be included.

REB played well last game, but he didn't score in either of the 2 matches he entered ... I agree that he should be strongly considered for a bench spot come June, but let's not state things that simply aren't true ... he's still looking for his first goal in B2.
