He wasn't a Canadian, wasn't considered a Canadian in the Canadian Championship, couldn't suit up for the Canadian National team but... U18 Canadian Player for the year =p Looks okay because he's clearly a very good kid who is very proud of putting on the Canadian Jersey. Just doesn't look as good for our U20 player for the year. matty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Linesman Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 He was booed consistently at BMO in the second leg. It was unclear to me if it was because he was a great player on the opposition or if his failure to declare for the CMNT was at fault. It would be scary if that many people at the game were that aware of his decision to be and were on his case because of his failure to call the CMNT home forever. He did play very well and would be a great addition to the squad if he was to commit to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 He has the end product Davies is missing but Davies is a physical beast. Having them both would be amazing for the national team different players but already good enough for the team. Depending on whether ivory coast follows up interest and if they dont I could see him involved in the Jamaica game. He won't be cap tied so could see him considering it. hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he plays for us but I'm losing hope by the minute. jonovision 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like not that many people in MTL understand or know about the situation so it is nice to hear that people in other parts of the country are letting him hear it.

You should cheer for every player on the impact squad if thats who you support. Tabla specifically does his job for his club and the fans should appreciate that regardless of his nationality. matty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if Owen Hargreaves signs for the Impact and you are not @SpecialK , would you still cheer for him because that is the team you support?

Tabla was born in the Ivory Coast to two Ivorian parents and didn't move to Canada until he was eight. He's spent almost half of his life in the Ivory Coast. Hargreaves was born in Canada, had one English parent and didn't live in England until he was 26. I'll be disappointed if he chooses the Ivory Coast, but it wouldn't be traitorous by any means.

Chad_Impact Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I'm not saying I would wish bad things upon him, just that the level of support I would give to him will change.

To be honest, I 100% think most would. Supporting the local team usually surpasses supporting your nation Voyageur: Hargreaves betrayed Canada Casual Vancouver fan: Oh I didn't hear about that.

If Tabla picks the Ivory Coast I'd feel like he turned his back on a country that has given him so much. I get that I might feel differently if it was me his situation. Also if he picks the Ivory Coast I'd be much more open to the Impact selling him quickly while his value is high so he could be replaced easily. Does anyone think his decision could be helped or hurt by our showing at the Gold Cup? Chad_Impact and jpg75 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that a player who spent nearly half his life in the IC and who's entire family tree is in the IC would be turning his back on them as much as us. He's a true dual-international, this decision clearly isn't easy for him. As long as you realize your viewpoint is biased.
