ray Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Good team. Nice to see some of the players on the fringes of a MNT call-up get a run out. Also good there is an emphasis on North American based players as some of the others will likely be unavailable for Oly Qualifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 With regards to Adekugbe, there is no overlap between the Pan-AM and the Gold Cup provisional roster, and he is on that so that's why he isn't here. Zebie on the other hand should probably be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 nice to see aleman there and not completely out of the picture No quinlan roberts or marco carducci or fraser aird. Since the actualy olympic qualifying tournament is on FIFA dates where our MNT isn't playing i expect a top notch squad with the likes of piette, henry, larin, aird, petrasso, adegkube, hamilton and the other full MNT members. as well as the top players from this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Clarke Fisk Boakai Aleman Babouli Manella Black James Farmer Grant Crepeau Something like this? That midfield might be too offensively focused but was wanting to find a way to get the best guys on the pitch at the same time. Didn't JGL play some LB with the senior team? That might be an option too since they are kind of thin at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might take Babouli out, move Boakai to the wing and put JGL either in the middle or as DM and move Manella up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Also, it's interesting that there are about 8 players on the Gold Cup provisional roster that could've been a part of this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Me too. However it could be a tough ask for the ones that are in Europe (Gasparotto, Petrasso, Henry) as their clubs probably won't care too much about Olympic Qualifiers and won't want them to travel.

Hmmm that's probably a good idea and would balance it out a bit. Some solid attacking options all getting pro minutes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final group match and knockout games all fall under the FIFA calendar. I dont think the clubs would have a choice if we called them up for those games. They could refuse the first 2 group games, thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Notable omissions? Bustos? Carducci/ Roberts as mentioned earlier, Serban looked good in the U20's and would have provided some FB depth. The guys on the Gold Cup as mentioned but that makes more sense. Others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys on the Gold Cup as mentioned but that makes more sense. Others? Just remembered Roberts is on the 35 man gold cup roster. So seeing as there are no overlaps, thats why he was omitted. Carducci maybe they thought Gomes/ Crepeau were better. Carducci only shared starting duties with the U20s. Not sure why Bustos isn't here as he isn't on Gold Cup roster either. Are Black and Cosima playing in the USL or in the NCAA? I've seen conflicting club statuses for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comsia is going to UNC-Chapel Hill in the fall. and Kevon Black is at Duke, but he's playing outside of the season, hence the TFC II listing. (Although I don't remember anything about him playing for them, unless he's playing PDL). I just stick with their college teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusch to the Corner Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 What is the max roster size for the Pan Am games? I see there are 18 players listed here. Is it 18 or is it 23? If it is 23 then maybe some of the Gold cup roster guys get added later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think the clubs would have a choice if we called them up for those games. They could refuse the first 2 group games, thats it. However, they can also make it very clear to the players that they would be very unhappy if they accepted the call. That kind of pressure can be pretty significant, especially if the player is playing regularly with the first team. As for omissions, I keep waiting to see Richie Laryea's name. I think he's a gamer. Not sure why he doesn't appear on more of these rosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why he doesn't appear on more of these rosters. Laryea is a straight up baller and has just as much pro potential as any player on this roster IMHO. Don't know why he doesn't get more love from the CSA. Surprised no Tyler Pasher call up. This would have been a good opportunity, considering he was at a CMNT camp this year.

Our u20 team wasn't good in Concacaf qualifying, but JGL was absolutely putrid. I hope his form has recovered somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Larin was no great shakes either and he seems to have rebounded. I prefer to just delete the last U20 qualifying cycle from my memory.

Well ya, but then you can say a team could do that to our players being called up anytime to any friendly, wcq, olympics etc etc. If its a FIFA mandated break and official OQ it's tough for a club to be angry about a player going. If they get mad at the player then the club he is at doesn't have the best relationships with its players. Floro has made it clear he wants fair treatment from clubs just like mexico and the US get. He's been keeping some players off friendly rosters so they are available when it counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 This roster is surprising in many ways but in good ways. It's amazing that we could probably put out 4 solid U23 XIs with this generation. It seems this roster is a bit of a try out for Olympic Qualifiers as well. A lot of names that I wouldn't have thought of but it's nice to see us spread the net to give tons of youngsters a chance at the youth level and reduce players that slip through. Richie Layrea definitely needs a look, I'm surprised to see him omitted but as I said there are just so many players at this level. Aparicio, Alderson, Carreiro... In just 4 years our player pool at this age group seems to have quadrupled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db707 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 True. Also Larin was no great shakes either and he seems to have rebounded. I prefer to just delete the last U20 qualifying cycle from my memory. So apparently Lacuna, Inc. didn't open up a Canadian HQ on October 17, 2012... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Oakey Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Definitely felt like a few PDL guys would get calls. Like Camargo, Whiteman, Matheson, Rajkovic, and McLeod. But the team looks really good. I wondered about Bustos as well, I thought he would be a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
