Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 If there is a city that Canadian soccer fans hate the most, it is likely San Pedro Sula. Although our men have failed to get wins there, let's hope our young women do well. This tournment starts in about a month from now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_CONCACAF_Women's_U-20_Championship I assume they will call large parts of our last U-17 squad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_U-17_Women's_World_Cup_squads One great thing is that the USA did not play at the last U-17 World Cup in Costa Rica and so our squad should perhaps have more experience in Central America What is the cutoff year for age? EDIT: On Wednesday we will know the groups. The Draw will take place in San Pedro Sula. http://www.ieyenews.com/wordpress/official-draw-confirmed-for-the-concacaf-under-20-womens-championship-honduras-2015/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 It will be 1996 and younger. Now that I think about it you're right! It's 96'. We don't seem to have much talent in the 96' cohort. The only 96' I would bet on as a starter would be Victoria Pickett; she was a late game sub in each of our 3 group stage games at our U-20 world cup (didn't play in the QF vs Germany). 2 of those three times she came on for Yekka. She could play beside Yekka (maybe slightly out of position) and we would have two experienced defenders at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Thoughts? I think we got the "easy" group. It will not be acceptable to have anything other than 9 points. Although we are "A2" we seem to play T&T first and Honduras last. http://www.concacaf.com/category/under-20s-women/schedule-results That last group stage game, against Honduras, it would be nice if we could win by at least 8 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Should definitely go into Honduras and get all sorts of results. Never said that before, have we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc-in-bc Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 [ 1 ] The CANWNT will play in the 2015 International Tournament of Natal ( Brazil ) from December 9 – 20, 2015. This schedule overlaps with the 2015 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship , December 3 – 13 , 2015, which raises the question : Does Jessie Fleming play with the senior team in Brazil or with the U-20s in Honduras ? [ 2 ] The 2015 Women’s College Cup Championship ( the final four) is scheduled for December 4/ December 6, 2015 which also overlaps the 2015 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship . Some of Canada’s U-20 pool of players are in schools that are part of the 64 team field that will compete for NCAA Division 1 Women Soccer Championship . It’s unclear if the following schools -- who are in the tournament-- will accommodate Daniel Worthington should he select any of these players for the U-20 CONCACAF tournament in Honduras: -Western Virginia: Bianca St.Georges, Easther Mayi Kith, Carla Portillo -Princeton: Vanessa Gregoire -LSU: Jordane Carvery -Northwestern: Simmrin Dhaliwal -Washington State: Chelsea Harkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 They should have them on the squad; they can be late arriving in San Pedro Sula. We can make the final 4 without them but after that we can't afford to mess up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tc-in-bc Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Canadian U-20 roster for the CONCACAF tournament: http://www.canadasoccer.com/canada-ready-for-road-to-papua-new-guinea-2016-p158898 [ 1 ] Victoria Pickett listed as a full back. I think she's a better midfielder -- all her success at Wisconsin this year was as a midfielder. [ 2 ] Bianca St Georges is still playing in the NCAA tournament. [ 3 ] No Jessie Fleming. She's not going to Honduras with the U-20s, nor is she part of the senior roster going to Brazil. Puzzling. In addition, Gabrielle Carle and Marie Levasseur are going to Brazil with the senior team but not to Honduras with the U20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67soccer Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 someone please explain Herdman to me , there are players on this roster than have made a second go around at U20 WC though had yet to sniff a tryout on the Senior team , though then he has players at the Senior camp barley out of diapers trying out and not partaking in the U20s . Someone with some common sense please explain what this clown of a coach is doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Someone with some common sense please explain what this clown of a coach is doing I have no idea and I don't agree with this strategy; we should still win our group against these minnows. Mexico's U-20 seems to be very prepared and organised for this tournament; I wouldn't be overly surprised if we lost to them in the semi-final. WHERE IS FLEMING? They could at least have said "denied to join the camp for school/family/some other reason". Our midfield will not be nearly as strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc-in-bc Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Practice match between Canadian U-20s and Haiti U-20s: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Practice match between Canadian U-20s and Haiti U-20s: T&T and Jamaica are about as good as Haiti. Their qualifiers were in Haiti so even though Haiti won, they had home advantage. Honduras should still be an easy win despite playing at home. I still predict first in the group but since it's SPS I think we'll slip up and get only 7 points. If we can only beat Haiti 2-1 we could have serious problems vs Mexico.

rkomar Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Wow! The CONCACAF website gives the shot total as 25-0 in favour of Canada. That doesn't sound good for T&T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ref Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Wow! The CONCACAF website gives the shot total as 25-0 in favour of Canada. That doesn't sound good for T&T. Neither for Canada. Only 2 goals from 25 shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkomar Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 From memory, it was 2 goals, 10 others on target, and the rest missed or were blocked. But you're right that our finishing doesn't appear to have improved from earlier tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Wow! The CONCACAF website gives the shot total as 25-0 in favour of Canada. That doesn't sound good for T&T. Highlights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnKeg0l75_A (many of those on-target shots were pretty good actually) Also: Jamaica 2 Honduras 2. Thoughts? I'm actually surprised that Honduras got a draw. i expected their team to be very weak. Maybe I shouldn't have been so pessimistic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out her Twitter stream from Dec 3 toward the end of the CanW20 game. Thanks for the tip Rob. Seems like she faked a USA IP and paid $10USD. Not worth it IMO. foxsoccer2go.com/upcoming Lord Bob's and Carolyn's banter is pretty good; I should be on twitter more. Only Lord Bob would come up with the #TwoSarahsOneCup hashtag.
