Stoppage Time Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Unnamed Trialist said: While Chonière seems to have had a strong level in MLS for a few years, at least, Froese has just now made this jump up to B2. So I think one is a case of being ignored, the second is a question of making a case for himself to not be ignored in the near future. Fair point.

Bison44 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 WOW, it seems so long ago, 8-9 years now that he was breaking in with the whitecaps. Its hard to believe he is still chugging along, still rising up the table in germany. If I get UT correctly, he is at a low end B2 which equates to MLS type quality. I hope he can stick it out this season, get another call up to CMNT. I wonder what the CDN record is for time between caps? If he plays in 2024, thats damn near 9 years.

I guess I saw Froese play back when, funny that. I also recall the initial take was here was a kid who had box-to-box potential. Seriously, if the team avoids relegation that will be a lot, looking at B2 in Germany, those are all teams with top flight histories, some a lot some a bit, and even trophies, except Wiesbaden, Froese's team, in their fourth season ever in B2; and Elversberg from Saarland, it's their first season ever this high up.

No idea but Pat Onstad returning to the NT at 42 comes to mind. But I bet he only had been away for a few years at that point, even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Appears to have lost his starting spot. Starting from the bench v Hansa Rostock. I think that's 3 matches in a row now starting from the bench blueseeka and Corazon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They push into midtable, big win vs. former B1 team. johnyb, narduch and Corazon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Okay so we need midfielder depth and recently we've seen Ahmed and Choniere make their debuts from MLS, we've seen Loturi and Paton make their debuts from the SPL....do we bring in a guy from the 2.Bundesliga? He's in his prime and he's getting minutes for a team that's middle of the pack. At this point I would like to squeeze him into the roster to see what he can do.

Need friendlies to check new players . . . . oh wait. BTW, the women will have had four friendlies by year end. Does that mean that the men are owed four friendlies due to required reciprocity for the programs?

I would say froese is in an almost identical spot to colyn. They are making a case for themselves but its not quite clear that they deserve a call up.

If he continues to feature and impress at club level, and turning 22, Colyn might get a look in 2024 if we get a friendly or two apart from competitive matches.

Unnamed Trialist Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 He came on m. 67, and took a yellow, as Wiesbaden held on to beat Fortuna Dusseldorf 1-3 away. The rival was in a direct promotion spot, and now Wiesbaden have pushed into the upper half of the table. Looking good for Kianz and this modest team. johnyb, Corazon, dyslexic nam and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I don't think November is the window, but it would be cool to see him get a chance in 2024, especially if his modest club survive 2.Bundesliga (or do better - they are in 7th rn ) Kadenge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for more guys to get opportunities, it just doesn't seem realistic. Real missed opportunity by not playing any in September and only 1 in October. Theres just so many names deserving of a call up, with limited windows to experiment or give out opportunities. Obinna and Corazon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thee are any injuries before the roster is called, Froese could be called in for an introduction to the program. Maybe he steps up with such an opportunity.

Nelson, Shaffelburg, Corbeanu, Bair JR-R Then there's the never been called up: Colyn, Kerr, Kulenovic. He's gotta be doing better than he is. A lot of guys are at similar levels and have had a better season/performing better. I will say I miss the 3 game windows. It brought a unique aspect to international football where rotating/using the entire squad was inevitable. sebdeserio, Obinna, Corazon and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's UT. He is God here. He's allowed to act whatever way he wants here. I have recently watched him play before, but it doesn't change anything. I would actually argue that it's less than that, and not just a third. I believe MLS, SPFL, Swiss League, and EFL Championship are arguably better than 2. Bundesliga.

His style is completely different from what we have (outside of Larin, we have zero hold up strikers), whereas Froese is similar to some others.

JRR definitely plays for a better team, and Bair might too. Froese also isn’t playing much these days it seems Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
