Max Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Canada has announced details and roster for an upcoming men's U-20 camp in Mexico from 1-9 July 2012. Canadian U-20 coach Nick Dasovic has selected 20 players for the nine-day camp that will include two international matches against host Mexico. The two Men's U-20 International Friendly matches will be played against Mexico on Friday 6 July and Sunday 8 July. Coach Dasovic's selections currently play club football in either Canada or across the ocean in Europe. This marks coach Dasovic's second project for 1993-born players, with an eye towards next year's biennial CONCACAF & FIFA competitions. Canada will compete in the 2013 CONCACAF Men's Under-20 Championship from 18 February to 3 March in Mexico. Four teams from the 12-team tournament will qualify for the FIFA U-20 World Cup Turkey 2013.

RJB Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Is this worth keeping track of? Whitecaps: 6 TFC: 5 Impact: 1 FC Edmonton: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFC07 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Plus couple ex-TFC academy players. EDIT: More than 2 ex-TFC academy players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger miller Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Plus couple ex-TFC academy players. EDIT: More than 2 ex-TFC academy players. Four actually. Vukovic, Alleman, Lao, Gardner. Plus, at some point, you have to think that Petrasso will be in the Mix. So thats five right there. Withe Carriero that would be six. I have watched Carmargo a few times this year. If he is not in mix, someone should have their head examined. Parker Seymour (currently in College) and Maybe Omari Morris, who is rely fast and lively will get a good look, i figure.

Roger miller Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Is this worth keeping track of? Whitecaps: 6 TFC: 5 Impact: 1 FC Edmonton: 1 Yes and no. Its a camp so you have to figure that Doniel Henry and Quillan Roberts are not invited because they are with the senior team. The one with FC Edmonton, is Dino Gardner. But he was with TFCA but had has some kind of falling out. Dont recall the exact story. Think that he was in the same boat as Aleman whereby he didnt want to sign some sort of commitment. He did this because he wanted to pursue the overseas options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 In the interview with Thomas Rongen posted by Juby, Rongen said that Camargo was called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Aside from Camargo, Henry and Roberts, also missing are Crepeau, Piette, Makubuya (who has been playing well and scoring for TFC Reserves this year) and Caleb Clarke. I think Petrasso, Carreiro and even Luca Gasporotto may be too young yet as 95s. Looks like some tough decisions for Dasa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 This will be a good squad. Unless the coaches completely mess it up with poor selections as they did with the last U20 side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 This is the deepest u20 squad yet for Canada. Don't forget Samuel Piette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrue17 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Who's the kid from Arsenal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juby Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Camargo has been playing really well lately (To be fair, my sample size is just the June 17th and 22nd games). Also, I'd say both Paunic and his U-17 CB partner Duran Lee have been playing excellent (tall kid, seems composed, good long passer, very similar to Paunic's skill set, wears 42 and 24) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Thrilled to see Callum get a chance. He's a smaller 'keeper but certainly stops the shots and does a great job communicating with his back line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Wow, what an excellent squad. Wow, indeed. Especially considering the players eligible that haven't been called that are actually also committed to Canada. (I am of course referring to those few who are eligible for Canada u20 and are not playing - Aird, the Milano kids of which there are 2, and I think there are a few others). Sorry to detract, but my point is this team appears to have some serious chops despite those who wish to play elsewhere. It's wonderful to see. Esp great to see Aleman part of the squad as he has that extra bit of technical skill we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Who's the kid from Arsenal? I was just joking. A couple of weeks ago Daso was tweeting at some kid who plays in the Arsenal youth system. He tweeted 3 or 4 times for the kid to email him because the kid is from Edmonton. What Daso didn't realize is that Edmonton is not only a city in Alberta but a neighbourhood in London. Thread here.

Soccerpro Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Is Alesandro Riggi still with the impact? The tweet below states he trained with Sampdoria in April of this year. http://twitter.com/impactmontreal/status/193443789522747392 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Maybe Omari Morris, who is rely fast and lively will get a good look, i figure. He is one of Akron's top recruits. Seems odd he wasn't called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villus Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Who are the players who are committed to Canada who will likely be on this team not on that list? Piette and Henry are eligible right? What happened to Crepeaux? the u-17 gk? Who else from the U-17 squad who looked good is off this list and what are their situations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esp great to see Aleman part of the squad as he has that extra bit of technical skill we need. Was also going to point out Aleman's inclusion. Glad he's able to come back from Spain for this stuff...I wasn't sure he necessarily would, he has a serious upside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Piette's certainly eligible. The fact that he isn't at this camp has to be considered a good sign for his career in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree and for Henry as well, just trying to get a picture of what our roster will be at qualifying if all hands are on deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazlo_80 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Another one not in this group is Quillan Roberts who is the back up keeper on TFC now. apparently doing well in reserve league play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to Crepeaux? the u-17 gk? Who else from the U-17 squad who looked good is off this list and what are their situations? @Villus - I listed the players who are eligible but have seemingly "turned their backs" on Canada - 1 player @ Rangers, 2 @ AC Milan. How "Canadian" these 3 actually are...I don't know. So I say "turned their backs" in jest. Crepeaux has a long ways back from injury. Maybe he isn't ready? Glad Henry and Piette are not here. As Lord Bob said, it bodes well for Piette (and Henry's first team careers they aren't released for this). The only others I can think of from the u17 team not here that maybe "should" be are Gasparotta (Rangers) and Hamilton (Toronto). Can't think of others off top of my head.

ThiKu Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 @lazlo - that's an interesting point. B/C of course Roberts was Crepeaux's u17 back-up. Neither are in this camp. Though Roberts is TFC's back-up so there was no way he was getting released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 On the subject of Henry was kinda sad to see that he wasn't selected even to the bench for tonight's game...wonder if there's a reason besides maybe not being in favor with Mariner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
