He hurt his ankle less than 10 days ago and had to be carried out by teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigzTFC Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Not to defame Tabla but who would he displace in the Ivory Coast WCQ team? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory_Coast_national_football_team#Current_squad Simply looking at the team's call-ups and recent call-ups would suggests it would be tough for him to warrant a call given his lack of first team experience. Maybe he's being called into a youth camp (if true). Chad_Impact 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Yeah he's not really on the level of the IC national team (yet). This thread can probably be open for another couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moldy9 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Maybe they'll just cap him just for the sake of "cap blocking" Canada. Addona 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigzTFC Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I have a technical question: The new Canadian MLS rule reads as follows: Canadian players that qualify as a Homegrown Player as a member of an MLS club academy or that have met similar requirements as a member of a Canadian Approved Youth Club will count as a domestic player for all MLS clubs, provided that: The player became a member of an MLS club academy or Canadian Approved Youth Club in the year prior to the year in which he turns 16; If Tabla did select to join the Ivory Coast, does he then cease to be Canadian and hence eligible for domestic status across the American MLS teams? Or is he still Canadian, still a homegrown, and still domestic? Where's Dino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place where a player choosing to play for another country not named Canada would be affected is on a V's Cup starting XI or playing for a USL reserve team.

Mls often use birth place to rep a player's nationality if they are not capped at the senior level. Mo babouli had a uea flag on his bio all of last season.

Ngravs Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I know some people don't like the idea of bringing young players to a tournament just to cap them but I think with him if he wants to attend Gold Cup we play him vs French Guiana. Instead of brining an older depth play that probably won't play. Good experience and he's shown that he's not scared to play with the first team (Small sample size but still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice strike, but a keeper should NEVER get beat short side from 18 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 I agree that I thought Bava should have had the Tabla goal. Should have been stopped.As for Tabla's play in his first MLS start, thought he played well. Did not look out of place, on the pitch, but wasn't particularly spectacular. You can see the talent in attack, but his consistency within the game was lacking. To be expected with an 18 year old IMO. Outside of the goal, he had some nice forays in the Fire box, made a nice cross that should have been a goal in the first half, and made a nice defensive tackle right before his goal in the second half. Often I thought he looked lazy going forward in support of Mancosu or Salazar, and failed to join the rush while walking up the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
