Plus many of us have been around forever and the pain since 1986 or even 2000 has been immeasurable. But to defend him on this one, he did say Tomori representing Canada is a small chance. Hell, how many pages is the Hoilett thread up to? And did any of us have absolutely no doubts that he would eventually put on a Canadian shirt 4-5 years ago? No one is shitting on him for saying there's a chance. The problem is he says shit like "if he hasn't played for England by the next WC he'll play for Canada" (paraphrasing) Bikerack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before there's a chance that he could play for Canada if he's not chosen for the World Cup next year or the euros, because he still won't be capped. England,Canada and Nigeria will all be in the same boat trying to qualify for 2022. I would like to believe Canada will be a lot better in 2019 then right now, so we could be an attractive choice. We have young talent coming, good progress with duels nationals and if we get them game changer, we are moving up in the rankings, less competition to make the team and start. CONCACAF is a joke so good chance at qualifying and Europe is making it harder for teams to qualify ( General statement England is still England ) Yes England is still a sexy choice and I would say Front runner , but we could be in a decent position to challenge for Tomori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Johnson could be good or flop, and I suspect that Oxford will get forgotten somewhat if he stays out in Germany even though I rate him. I also rate Joe Gomez but he seems to get played more as a full back and I think he's good there He's got Cahill, Jones, Stones, Smalling definitely ahead of him and that's it. Keane could get there as could Maguire but if Tomori actually plays regularly at Chelsea or another PL team he's on par with them IMO. He's actually quite close to breaking into the squad, IF he plays regular football Not to get too of topic but I've see both Reece Oxford and Reece Burke play for West Ham and I think Burke is the currently the better prospect of the two. I do think going to Muchengladbach could really help Oxford as it did for Christensen at Chelsea. kingvikingstad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I'm not losing sleep over not making friends with old jaded, no hope Canada sucks supporters, you guys are like the two old grumpy men from the muppets, you guys hate every idea and just criticize the hell out of people, specially new people, Canada has a fan base problem and you treat the form like an old boys club. Your calling me an idiot because I threw out the two upcoming events that he could be Capped and you couldn't put together that the next euro is in 2020, so I'm the idiot? you come on here criticizing me calling me I'm a teenager and talk about we are mature and all that bullshit. Then when I question you because you couldn't even figure out when the next Euro is and can't do the math and get what I was talking about, oh wait I'm idiot I forgot. Just because I have hope and believe there is still a chance that he could come back to Canada doesn't make me wrong or right or an idiot. Canada hasn't scored a goal in what the last to Gold cups ( before the this years) and now we tied Scotland and have gotten to the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup, we have gone from 122 to 95 in the World, Quality players are coming to play for Canada now and potentially even more coming, also it looks like we might be hosting the World Cup, a brand new League is in works for Canada. It's time for you guys that are jaded as hell, to see the light and have some hope and optimism for Team Canada. Oz said Canada's mentality has to change on the field but it need to change off the field is well, the fan base needs to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Linesman Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Tomori's chances of playing for Canada are slim, but there is still a possibility of him not playing for England and Nigeria. In addition to the fact that most national teams would need at most 4-6 CB's at any one time, and England has more depth than we do, he could fall through the cracks. How many can't miss kids actually become stars. I have read tens of names of young players on here in the past couple of years but how many have achieved a high level of success to this point? Not many. If Tomori is one of those he just might suit up for Les Rouges. Also it appears the Wizard of OZ is following through with these dual nationality players and hopefully he will push just enough to get those guys to commit when the time is right. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 He didn't play for England U-21s in their qualifier against the Netherlands today. So count that as 2 CBs ahead of him in his age group. johnyb, jpg75 and king1010 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
