Sorry, just that people get on everyone but Junior seems to get a huge benefit of the doubt in everything. We played him vs. Honduras out of shape and lacking game pace. And hardly anyone complained (except our tv commentators, quite rightly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Funny about Bustos, watching WCII last night: he was far from being a stalwart on the team, I could name 3-4 other Canadians who looked sharper. Not that he was bad, but he did not shine. Froese was better, Baldisimo had some nice play, Levis was hot and cold, but even the teens like Gardner. I only watched the first half BTW, late here. You'd think a guy being called up for Canada would shine over the rest of the Canadians, and not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I find the Bustos call pretty surprising as well. 10 first team appearances for Vancouver, none of which have been particularly impressive. Davies is 4 years younger and already has 14 this season with a handful of impressive showings... Kianz Froese also has done more for the first team. I just don't get Canada Soccer, I really try. Bustos isn't on either U23 team in 2015 (for no particular reason) but then is getting senior calls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Bustos might be the case of calling a specific type of player. With Floro gone, perhaps Osorio plays as a 10 for us (like he's been with TFC recently), leaving Bustos as his backup. I am okay with Davies not being called, although I'd prefer he was. I think Junior gets the benefit of the doubt because he's clearly the most talented attacker in the program. If it were DeRo taking extra time to sort out his club football, I don't think people would be overly concern. The roster is a little weak but it's nice to get a few fresh faces in there.

There have to be offers on the table for him. This should not come as a surprise to anyone. He has a history of managing his football in a strange way. Guess it's his agen....I mean his dad.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 THE GAMEDAY HAS CHANGED! The match will be played on Thursday NOT Friday. Kickoff is 7pm local.

Unnamed Trialist Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Frigging weird Floro could have thought playing Mauritania was a good idea, his first two matches were against them, a 0-0 and a loss 1-0. OK, understand it has to do with having contacts between federations, the CSA knows these people from the previous time. They are also, so we heard, "improving", they are now Fifa ranking 96th, three years ago in the 140s. Was checking, they did not qualify for the next Africa Nation's Cup, and are not in the final groups for the WC either, they are out of both already. Morocco's Gabon away match is their first for WC qualifing, CAF starts the qualifiers for Russia this week. They have also qualified for the Nation's Cup, to be held this Jan-Feb in Gabon precisely. The draws for groups in that tournament are not done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
