BearcatSA Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 That's what I like about Osorio's potential because from midfield he drives to the goal when he sees the opportunity (hockey style?) and in MLS he's popped a couple of goals in those situations. And another yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) It's probably already known, but Marc Weber states that the CSA is actively pursuing Camilo, Koffie, Martins and Camara. The CSA also recognizes the hoops that they would have to jump through re. Koffie. Unfortunately, I can't link to the article at this point.

shamrock Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) It wasn't that difficult to find... http://www.theprovince.com/sports/soccer/Floro+hopes+tempt+talent+Team+Canada/8816373/story.html Reading both stories, you get the feeling that Victor Montagliani knows what he's talking about. He's being realistic and tries to built something from sratch. I like it. Edited August 22, 2013 by shamrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finchster Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think Hoilett will use his fourth option, not play for anyone. From his perspective, playing for Canada or Jamaica will not improve his career prospects and if England is a no go, then why play for anyone?

Is he in better shape this go around? Last year it seemed like he was more interested in cheeseburgers than football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soro17 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Anyone seen a QPR game this year? Is he in better shape this go around? Last year it seemed like he was more interested in cheeseburgers than football. I was at Loftus Road last weekend as QPR beat Ipswich (great little stadium). He was the best player on the pitch in the first half. He got injured early in the second half and had to come off. Joey Barton took over the game from deep in midfield and QPR won. Hoilett was at bit prone to waiving his arms around wanting the long cross field ball that just wasn't coming. The skill in the Championship wasn't too impressive I have to say. Other than Hoilett, wright phillips, Barton and Richard dunne, the rest of the players were mls level at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 At this point I'd pit the LA Galaxy against a team like Burnley and be expecting a win. QPR too. Besides Donovan, Keane and Gonzalez the rest of the players are Championship players at best, but they should still pull out a win on QPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa stillz Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hey John TV, Roberto Stillo Keeper signed with Parma FC in Italy and on loan to Perugia FC is born and raised in Mississauga, Both parents born and raised in Etobicoke, Ontario, with myself having Italian roots. The kid bleeds red and white! Yet we still are looking outside to try and naturalize foreign kids to play for us! He has been in Italy attached to Seria A clubs since he was 15. Last year he made 16 bench appearances in Seria A games as 2nd or 3rd keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Great. As soon as he get's some playing time, he'll prob get the call. Simple as that. In the meantime, the MNT needs all the help it can get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year he made 16 bench appearances in Seria A games as 2nd or 3rd keeper. Your son is quite probably the future at GK for Canada. But we are talking about 4 players in particular who bring some things the Canadian team has never been able to produce from within; creativity and skill going forward (in the cases of Camilo and Felipe), and pace coupled with skill rather than on it's own (in the case of Koffie). Camara, too, though Canada has produced quality centerbacks over the years, represents a level of athleticism and skill that is not to be found right now in younger Canadian CBs. So it's not just to naturalize any good player, but specifically young players that have what we as a nation either rarely produce or have not produced lately. GK doesn't really apply since there is a good young GK currently on the CMNT, and good Canadian prospects in the pipeline (such as Stillo).

Keano Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Felipe for Canada please. Can you imagine a couple of players like Felipe and Camilo playing regularly together for Canada? We've (sad as it is) never seen that kind of creativity and skill together I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footscray Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I think Jeb Brovsky and Wes Knight are eligible for residency after this season, not high profile guys but I think Brovsky could be a useful addition if he's interested in two more years... still only 24 so he'll be in his prime and eligible for the next cycle if interested.

Footscray Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Wouldn't Wes Knight have to wait because he left Canada for 1.5 years? Dunno, thought it was cumulative but you're probably right. I don't think he'd ever be a major player regardless but Brovsky would be a very good addition for the next cycle. No impetus from the club perspective to get residency because he isn't taking an international slot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltonfan Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 We can add the following names to the list. I like the idea of keeping this list current as we do with the Canadians Abroad list, could service our national team very will. Wandrille Lefèvre - M - Montreal Impact Sam Adekugbe - D - Vancouver Whitecaps Kodi Opare - D - LA Galaxy -------------- Make far more sense putting the players current age. Hopefully we are all capable of simple addition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Those 3 players have nothing of a count down about being eligible for Canada. Opare only has to confirm a switch and the others 2 have their residency status and all they need is a passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag futbol Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 So... after reading about Diego Costa over the past few days, does this mean Koffie's chances are not as bad as they might have once seemed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
