With our very limited options at LB, this seems like a worthy call-up for the GC, no? MAK and Davies can play there, but both seem to be stronger in other parts of the pitch. wouldn't he have to have filed his one time switch after playing for Chilean youth teams before playing for us against Curacao. Thus making him capped? Maybe im mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his age, we could be grooming him for the LB spot in the 2022 cycle. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus making him capped? Maybe im mistaken. According to his Wikipedia page he played his U20 Chile games in 2014. U20 World Cup qualifiers were in 2013 and 2015 (just like the World Cups), so I guess that means his games in 2014 would not have been competitive matches, which I think means he wouldn't have had to have filed for a one-time switch to play for Canada. So I think that means he is still not cap-tied. Others on this board are better at this kind of stuff than me though. hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoH037 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Damn, if he keeps getting starts then surely Herdman can't afford to not call him up. If he has a solid Gold Cup then he could well follow a career trajectory similar to Cavallini's. Also, it wouldn't hurt the CMNT to have a bit more Latin flair Edited May 20, 2019 by LeoH037 Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2018 he played 15 of 30, was hoping he'd step up this year but opportunity has been scarce. The Chilean Primera division is top 5 South American Flight football, I'm afraid it might be too late to impress Herdman to be included in the 23 man roster. Godihno had himself a good season at Hearts and ZBG has looked good with the Impact, in some 500's minutes or so (1st season as pro - On loan from OL II For sure we will need Cordova to match up vs Central American opposition Edited May 23, 2019 by Blackjack15 apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is does Herdman value Godinho's earlier stretch of starts or Cordova's recent play? I like Cordova's versatility to play left or right or in midfield. And I agree I like the idea of having more South American influence on the team. apbsmith and Corazon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of calling him over Godinho due to his playing style, versatility and the fact he doesn’t get injured every other week. I think he’ll be valuable to us in rotating the squad, which is inevitable. Corazon, nolando, Bertuzzi44 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoH037 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Well, isn't it Herdman's job to call the best players available now? As such, Cordova is the right player to call now IMO. hamiltonfan and apbsmith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansem Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Must be the main reason he was left out of the Gold Cup, to let him get the playing time with his club. We'll need him for the Nation league.

LeoH037 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I really want to see Juan with the CMNT. He is a hell of a player and our most versatile fullback. I might sound cynical but I think we need to cap him asap. nolando, apbsmith, Shway and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazon Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) 5 hours ago, hamiltonfan said: Strong, quick, technical....the Chilean Canadian is gifted - Not sure how Cordova was left off the squad once again. Hard to believe we took both fullbacks Morgan & Godinho. Morgan has played 201 minutes out of a possible 1,350 for Toronto and Godinho played 405 minutes out of a possible 1,080 in 2019 including only two games since February. Meanwhile Cordova can play both sides of defense and even as a winger and is currently becoming a regular for his club. I'm glad that he's still on Canada's radar and was included in the preliminary squad and hopefully we finally get him in for Nations League this fall. Also, hoping that it was mutually decided that he should continue to focus on his club instead of joining up for the Gold Cup.
