masster Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Heard on the radio today that there will be a U18 camp in November with a couple of games against the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Does anyone have any idea why they've been doing U18 camps? Not complaining but just wondering where they see this headed For instance, this group will be 94s and 95s but the next U20 tournament is for players born after Jan 1 1993 and the next U17 is for players born after Jan 1 1996... 2015 U20s will be for 95s and below and for the U17s will be 98s and below. Maybe a bit of damage control to keep kids from slipping through the cracks? If so I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toje Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 In the past the U18 camps have sometimes been called U20 youth developmental camps, for what it is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Brody Huitema of the Whitecaps Residency has been callled up for this camp. It will be his first time involved in the National team program. Marco Bustos and Marco Carducci are off to Florida and Panama for a national team camp in two weeks time as well. Not sure if this is the same one as Brody, or if this is a different camp for the U17s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youllneverwalkalone Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Wow, we're raiding the US of all their top talent. Interesting that Adekugbe seems to now have his paperwork in order to play for Canada. I heard there was a hold-up in that regard. He's trained and played a fair bit with the Caps reserves.

Obinna Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I love that these rosters are made up almost exclusively by players at MLS or NASL academies. This is much better than back in 2004 or 2005 when these rosters were the players were scattered across Euroupe in academies or just at local youth clubs. This is a sign of progress, but my concern is "where will these guys play when they reach the U20 level and beyond? They all can't make first teams in MLS, and it would be a shame to let this developed talent go to waste...we NEED to set up something domestically VERY SOON! NASL in Ottawa in 2014 will alleviate the problem a little bit, and Hamilton in 2015 (cross your fingers) would help even more, but at some point we are going to create some kind of U23 league.

Academy goalkeeper Mark Rogal, centre back Stephen Almeida, midfielders Adam Bradshaw, Dylan Sacramento and Michael Wagenknecht and forward Mark Wadid will be in camp from November 17-24. I know they're not the most competent bunch, but it'd be a new low for TFC to cut a player who gets chosen for the youth national teams LOL!

These U18 teams are basically the "fell through the crack" teams, they aren't U17 or U20 competitive teams. This guy left at HALFTIME of a YOUTH game because it was "garbage". This man is a loser who probably sat at home watching the Champions League and thought he'd become an expert for a few hours. Not sure what expectations he came to the match with...

ThiKu Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Kleiban is the coach of the Barcelona USA program. He goes on and on about how bad soccer is here, and basically how everyone is doing everything wrong. He's been a coach for 12 years here. So I asked him "if everyone else is so bad, how many pro's or national team players have you developed?" He gets mad and changes the subject because the answer is zero. If you challenge him on any topic he turns it around to mean your worldview isn't right, and you "won't understand." Ask him a question and his pat response is "what that means to you will mean something different to me." Which is his way of saying "you are too stupid to understand my perspective." Typical physicist - he's a university prof. I have no doubt this guy knows what he is talking about because his Barcelona USA teams play some exceptional football. But his ego is bigger than Balotelli's. Just google Barcelona USA or search youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThiKu Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Sorry, I posted in the u17 thread about Huitema...got the camps backwards with two tabs open. Any reports on how this scoring dynamo has done? 6 goals in 7 appearances in u18 USSDA and he's carried right on from u16. How is this his first national camp???
