Though they are not ruling out calling him in for the knockout round. I hope he does play in the GC. I really think it would help. Something to do and stay clean, focus on soccer etc. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Looks like he might need to get his head straight. Might be a needed kick up the backside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably also has to do with his commitment to the MLS substance abuse program. Is it not 3-4 weeks long?

toontownman Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I wouldn't be so close minded. What if the starter striker has stinkers every game and someone else scores and gets us through. Goes without saying if it ain't broke don't fix it if EVERYONE is playing well. Would possibly be a dent to morale. But Larin is likely a step up from all the strikers when on form. Could definitely be a confidence boost for the squad in the right circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1996 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) So he is ok to play for Orlando but not for Canada until maybe the knockout stage if and that is a big if, we make it , makes no sense. So let me put it another way, a talented Canadian hockey player gets caught drinking and driving is suspended by the NHL but is reinstated to play in the NHL just a few games before the Olympics, you really think the Canadian Olympic hockey team would leave him off the Olympic hockey roster now that the NHL cleared him to play, highly doubt it, and with all the talented hockey players Canada has they could easily compensate for him being left off, but now in soccer you know a sport we are so good at we have the luxury of making an example of one of our more talented players ya ok.

Canada Soccer doesn't have to be like Hockey Canada. Maybe soccer Canada wants to hold their players to a higher standard. Just because the situation may have played out differently in another sport doesn't mean what Canada Soccer did was wrong. There is no right or wrong move in this situation. Either or will be criticized. CSA was well within their rights to not call him up. ob1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. But rather comparing us with Hockey Canada you'd have to compare us instead with hockey Latvia or hockey Italy. Hockey Canada has an incredible amount of attacking depth and superstars. CSA does not. Not sure the reason for not choosing Cyle when cleared by MLS but sounds like a cuck move. We need him and he's also a player used to playing in the conditions in Texas. Another player excluded and used to the hot weather in Texas (where we will play two group games) is Tesho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that word has zero meaning now because it was thrown around at every action and opinion. I'm not criticising you but I'm just blah with the word cuck. I have a co-worker who uses it for everything from the nation of Sweden to people who listen to Danny Brown and watch MMA.

Like cuckholds are largely either unaware or in on it for their own pleasure so neither works for submissiveness. It's just a weird term to me.

Yoginess Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I really really wish Larin didn't make such a stupid decision. I want to see him in our starting XI because I think he is our best striker hands down. That being said I am totally okay with him not being there for the group stage. If this was a WCQ it might be different and his call up situation might be too but it's not. We always talk about wanting players who are proud to put on the jersey, and no doubt Larin is. Also I think we should be okay with leaving out players (in the short term) because of poor conduct off the field. Even if the MLS had done nothing and even if it means fielding a less competitive lineup. i will always support our players and I hope this is a spring board for Cyle to get into the right mindset for club and country but I also want to maintain the culture of throwing on the Canadian jersey as a honour not a right. (that being said pls captie the 'loosely connected to Canada and very keen to play for Italy' Bryan Cristane at your earliest convenience, thx) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
