June 3rd 2012 at BMO Field. The "Centennial" friendly. It was a nil-nil draw. Also the game Samuel Piette made his debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion26 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Well hopefully soon they'll set up a home game. Will be great to just see them play and play a lot of games in the future as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Also, given that it's -35 with the wind chill in Calgary right now, a home game is the last thing on my mind. No amount of Fireball can make that temperature warm. I'm certain Doneil Henry would have the guts to tough it out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no Edgar either....there's not much experience/wisdom you can bring to a match against Bermuda. It can't be for introducing a new system either, as half the important players won't be available. I honestly feel if you are not capable of "showing out" against Bermuda (a PDL at best) then you'll never be ready to play against Guatemala, El Salvador etc. to say the least.

I mentioned earlier the idea of a mostly "select" team of U25 MLS/NASL/USL based guys playing this one to see how they do with Arfield and Hoilett also going. I feel this is the grouping most likely going to be repping Canada in 2022 WCQ. Leutwiler should also go so we can have a better look at him. Edgar and De Jong also should go. Something like this but not this Crepeau-Leutwiler Aird-James-Adekugbe-Tissot-Lefevre-Edgar-De Jong Osorio-Straith-Bustos-Piette-Arfield-Hoillett Larin-Akindele-Hamilton-Babouli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be mostly MLS/USL/European leagues that are off during winter. I do agree with you about having mainly youngsters being called up.

Scorpion26 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I don't have a full list, but C. Larin is someone that should be at the Camp Poutine. I feel the more games he gets internationally the better for him. I believe also Osario, Bekker, and few more should get called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hold your breath on that. Orlando has a financial incentive (66% of transfer fee vs. 50%) to keep him one more year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
