Addona Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 100% Cavallini is going to be one of them I can't tell if this is serious or tongue in cheek! I'm going with Akindele and Will Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addona Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I can't tell if this is serious or tongue in cheek! I'm going with Akindele and Will Johnson. Actually, cancel that, I'm going with Akindele and Opare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oranje Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I can't tell if this is serious or tongue in cheek! I'm going with Akindele and Will Johnson. Little bit of both. I honestly would put my surprised level at "presently surprised" if he is on the roster although most others on here would be at a "very, very surprised" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Gagne Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Does Opare have a Canadian passport? John Smits and Will Johnson... V's nationwide get their hopes up, only to be screwed with once again. ... yes, I'm a cynic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarnado1555362291 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Actually, cancel that, I'm going with Akindele and Opare. These are the two I would wager on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Akindele seems most likely. I have a strange feeling about cavallini too. I wouldn't bet on it, but after that article came out maybe he did some self reflection who knows. I'd be thrilled with these two or hoilett.

king1010 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Does opare have his passport? If he does he is definately one of them. The guy was tweeting asking where he could find a live stream of the cantWNT game. He sounds dedicated to Canada. @DanielSquizzato: Canada and England are, at this point in time, pretty much in the same ballpark. All close games recently. This one is a toss-up. #canWNT @kofiopare6: @DanielSquizzato where can I watch the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm going to go with Akindele as the big surprise and Will Johnson's return the 2nd bit of pleasant surprise. I'm starting to think that getting Ethan Finlay would be a big win for us as well. After an 11 goal, 7 assist season last year he's already up to 2 goals and an MLS leading 7 assists as the primary guy feeding Kei Kamara. Finlay has quietly turned into one of the best wingers in MLS in the last 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Finlay Would immediately be our starting RW imo. He and Hoilet have opposite career trajectories it would seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Finlay would be amazing. Hope Floro and the CSA are keeping an open dialogue with him. Since his father is Canadian it wouldn't be too difficult for him to get a passport, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince193 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Finlay and Akindele on either side with Larin and Ricketts up top would be very fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay has quietly turned into one of the best wingers in MLS in the last 2 years. I think this is the most likely scenario given Floro's comments recently, and Will Johnson being back to match fitness, and quoted as saying he wants to get back into the CMNT set up. Finlay would be a huge coup d'état for Canada, although my gut tells me he's holding out for a USMNT call. Vitoria is still injured I think, so doubt it's him.

king1010 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Id be happy with akindele and johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addona Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Johnson wasn't in the 18 yesterday for Portland ... was this part of a scheduled rest (i.e. a gradual return) or was there a setback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazlo_80 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Expecting it to be Akindele and/or Opara Hoping it could be Finlay. Seems a touch too early for Will Johnson as he's only made one substitute appearance for Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Kofie Opare*** is not eligible for Canada (yet) so it will not be him. "pleasant surprises" will be Carlo Corazzin and Jaime Peters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatmealCrisp Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Would a healthy Doneil Henry be a pleasant surprise? I wasn't sure what the timeline for his return was after his injury on loan. Was a bummer, given how well he'd been playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addona Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 But he did play 3 full usl games. He also started and played a full 90 for Portland, I thought, after remaining on the bench vs. TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Oakey Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 He did not play yesterday, according to MLSsoccer.com... http://matchcenter.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2015-05-30-colorado-rapids-vs-portland-timbers/recap wasn't even on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 If Will Johnson hasn't played 1st team minutes yet then maybe he'll return for the Gold Cup. He said a few weeks ago he can't wait to get back but it's probably not a good idea to rush him before he's match fit. Don't get me wrong I really want him backm but it may be too soon.

Obinna Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 After his last Timbers match he was icing his "affected area" during a post-game interview. That could just be part if his recovery regerment or maybe there was some slight damage. I am still going to go with Akindele and Will Johnson, or maybe Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
