This roster has 8 mls players. Remember when the only two canadians in mls were derosario and kevin harmse?

And two NASL players. Remember when floro hated nasl?

Also. De Jong is another MLS player who would be on the roster if he was fit.

It wasn't that long ago was it? 8 MLS + 2 NASL is a great indication of how far we've come. Now to do something with it!!

2007?  That roster also had 8 MLS players... and more NASL players too.  Not to mention that Adrian Serioux and Jimmy Brennan could have been there too.  Domestic content is regressing, panic!!!

Nevertheless that was a sweet team when you see two guys in the epl and two in the bundesliga. My point is alot of our history has been plagued with players pissed off about travelling across the Atlantic and that has been a huge factor in our failures. Now, it's not so much of a problem like it once was.

You're right.  But wow looking at that roster not sure what is more surprising.. that 11 years on our team doesn't seem much better if at all or that 3 of the guys are still on our roster.  

 

I wonder if we look at a roster in 2026 (hopefully a World Cup roster) how many guys from this squad named today would be on it.  Larin seems like the safest bet but I wonder who else?

Piette seems very plausible too.

There's no way we called up Tesho just to watch him sit on the bench.  He's the starting RW as of now unless we play a 2 striker formation and then he's one of them.

 

This is as close to our 1st choice healthy team as we've had in a long while now and to be honest the rebuild of the program appears complete.  We're only really missing a full time RB and Doneil Henry.

I forgot about De Jong not being included.  He's coming back from injury as well but he's definitely our best LB even though Morgan has been playing very well this year.  I wonder when he's healthy if we can do something similar to what TFC has been doing and play him at RB to accommodate Morgan at LB.
