Barthez-Battalion Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 http://www.canadasoccer.com/nominees-announced-for-2014-canada-soccer-player-awards-p157225 Usual suspects. However no Cyle Larin in the u20 player of the year is ridiculous. Apparently Duane Rollins is saying it is a political move by the CSA. No JGL is also stupid, considering his appearances for the senior side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 How is it "a political move"? What does even mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addona Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Adam Straith has not played 1 professional minute in 2014 ... but he's up for player of the year. Why not Teibert or Osorio? Or someone else who has played greater than 0 minutes of professional football 2014? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barthez-Battalion Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 How is it "a political move"? What does even mean? Not sure but Rollins said he'd explain on the next ep of his podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I haven't seen it yet but it's about time to start up the Voyageurs Player of the Year threads for both Men's and Women's. Since the U20 programs have become a bit more in the public realm this year, I'm thinking I might also add threads for those age groups. As for CSA PoY, I really hope our coaches and media don't just give it to Sinc and Hutch "just cuz". Hopefully those involved take into account some of the players who aren't as big of faces for the programs but who have had outstanding individual years.

Keegan Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Cyle Larin missed out on the U20s trip to Europe to be with UConn, my guess is that is why he is left off the ballot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Coaches can, in fact, write in names when voting. The nominees are little more than suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcalibre Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Cyle Larin missed out on the U20s trip to Europe to be with UConn, my guess is that is why he is left off the ballot. Maybe also potentially trying to show the college system is somehow inferior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
