Gordon Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 9 hours ago, Northvansteve said: I don't get it Until 2008 Canadians could go to European youth setups at a younger age irrespective of passport. MLS and NASL academies are 1) in their infancy for all practical purposes and 2) comparatively poor evaluated even against smaller European clubs. There are a ton of systemic challenges that get in the way of development of players 17-22 in North America generally, and Canada specifically in addition to the low(ish) quality of the academies. We were better off when our top youth players were going to (primarily) Europe at 14 or 15 and occasionally younger even if it did result in the occasional rebranding of Canadians as Dutch etc. Important to note that most of the defections were passport based anyway. Jpg is right to stress the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tournament was initially discussed here: Sounds like a great chance to have a look some young players that have as yet to crack the MNT. The tournament effectively overlaps the Scotland friendly so there could be some interesting (controversial ) decisions as to who is selected for which tournament.

Floortom Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 So Tabla got his first MLS minutes last night. Not saying that wouldn't have happened had he been to CONCACAF qualifying, but I doubt hes regretting his decision now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Some solace in the fact both Honduras and Mexico qualified. Canada just needs to get a bit better. If we could get by a team like Honduras we could take that spot. In theory we played them 3 times this past year. Won 1 tied 1 and lost 1. Unfortunately we lost the one that mattered.

Mister215Guy Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Canada should've gone further. It's a shame they got stuck in a tough group. The least deserving country had to end up winning this tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
