tmcmurph Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 With 18 of the 23 playing on the 3 Canadian teams and only 2 not from the 90s! Now that is nice to see. Now throw in 3 or 4 NASL teams and there is hope for our MNT yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 This is nice to see. Hopefully some of the more fringe players benefit from the new deal with USL Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_twelve Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 2011 - 20 2012 - 23 2013 - 23 Not much change from previous years but a higher number from this group looks likely to stick around. The addition of Ottawa causes the number of Canadian professionals in NA to rise, albeit slightly. We are heading in the right direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Russell Teibert goes the full 90 in the 4-1 victory for the Caps in their season opener against NYRBs. Played on the right and for the life of me I can't see why people want him playing anywhere else. He and Beitashour connected great and his two way work was very good. That and with Laba, NRC and Morales in the central mid I'm thinking he won't be getting much time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masster Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 ^Rob Friend won a penalty for LA in stoppage time, but Robbie Keane was stopped by Rimando. I would say that Friend really helped to 'win' that penalty if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Gagne Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Kofi Opare - DF - '90 is CMNT eligible, but played for the USA at U20 level. I don't see him breaking into the USMNT anytime soon though, or even the LA first 11, but he's a solid prospect. I might include him on this list as well.

A_Gagne Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Tesho Akindele was in the game day 18 for Dallas, but didn't see any minutes. Still that's a promising start for a rookie and hopefully he'll see some minutes and score a goal or two as the season progresses. Here's what Pareja had to say about him after the draft: "He immediately caught my eye," Pareja said. "He has a natural instinct to score. And he has the pace to keep up in MLS. I think he will work." Pareja said that Akindele slipped off the MLS scouting radar only because of his pedigree. "I knew him closest (of) the other coaches who scouted him," Pareja said. "I consider him a player who can come in and help us right away. He was probably underrated because he played in a lower division. But he's committed to the game, and that's important to us." http://www.denverpost.com/rapids/ci_25006385/tesho-akindele-colorado-mines-takes-unusual-route-mls#ixzz2vUIsBIk6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he last played for a US team, I consider him American until proven otherwise. I'll add him to the list if he's called up for a Canadian camp or game.

Blackdude Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Is Rob Friend a DP for LA, if not then what kind of money is he making in LA? Rob Friend a designated player? Unless El Hombre is the manager, I can't see that happening. Plus LA already has 3 DP's in Donovan, Gonzalez and Keane and we all know that MLS clubs can only sign 3 DP's.

nolando Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Dero, Henry and Osorio starting for TFC vs Seattle. Lots of speedy plays. Henry and Osorio set up Defoe's first goal and both look solid.

It looks like he was born and grew up in the US. Does he have Canadian parents or something? Yeah, I think he has a parent from Canada. I'll leave him off since he hasn't represented Canada yet, and he's pretty American from all intents and purposes. I'll be sure to add him if anything changes.

shamrock Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 That makes sense. Same goes for not sending Hamilton, as TFC is short on strikers. Hopefully they both play a lot. I read that NY Red Bulls want to own a USL Pro team, like the Galaxy. They had an interesting reason to do so (RB want the team up and running in 2015), namely so that they could OWN players. Galaxy 2 is in fact a seperate entity, they are not part of MLS. So you can sign players there, which could come in handy. Now I think you can sign players to a PDL contract (thinking Ben Fisk here) but it would be an actual pro contract with an actual pro team. I think in theory, if a certain player develops well, Galaxy org could even SELL a player to MLS or any other league for that matter. Toronto has a big enough market (and it's owners big enough pockets) to do the same. Although I still think the CSA doesn't want USL Pro to gain a foothold in Canada for some reason.

Fussball_eh Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Rob Friend played the entire match for LA Galaxy in a 1:1 draw vs RSL. He played on the left next to Robbie Keane. DC United lose 1:0 away to Toronto FC. Kyle Porter came on in the 66th minute while Nana Attakora stayed on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
