There were about half a million Latinos serving in the US army during WWII. I had thought of that after I posted, thinking of mostly Central and South American countries and later Latinos in the American forces. But the point I was trying to make was the OP seemed to be calling into question the spirit of the CMNT and the thought of the stereotypical Latino rolling around the turf in ersatz pain was laughable. While we are being historically accurate, American troops at D-Day were about half of the landing force, approx 73,000 according to some estimates.

I wouldn't mind talking about WWII. I pulled the trigger a bit fast in the post above which wasn't too good for a guy who has seen all the episodes of The World at War at least fifty times, no word of lie Oh yeah, Zambrano, good coach I like him. I have to say I missed the whole hiring process when I was on a little hiatus from the board, were there any other serious candidates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Having the ability to talk English and communicate well is a huge thing. While the former is really a bonus it's the latter what makes Zambrano a huge step up from floro. It's his demeanor, his enthusiasm and positivity. Not looking to our weaknesses all the time but accentuating the positives. It is a breath of fresh air that has translated to the pitch so far.

I was watching the all access video Canada Soccer posted on youtube about the game in Honduras and the one of the more noticeable parts was when Canada scored everyone got super excited except for Floro who sat in his chair and barely reacted when James ran to him and gave him a hug. I'm happy he's gone the man had no passion for the job whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play a 4-1-4-1 and he's neither a strong striker nor a speedy winger. So i don't know where he fits. jpg75, Floortom and nolando 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Seriously must be some crazy tesho hate. Justified dropping him because this game he would get his chance. Must be hugely frustrating for him. Surely deserved minutes more than ricketts. I am however a fan of what I have seen of tesho this year though so I have bias. We don't know how he is in training though and as northvansteve says maybe doesn't fit the tactics. If argue he is a strong player up top though but he plays more like a 10 dropping deep and setting up play for Dallas. Which is weird. He looked good doing it when I watched though. Against Vancouver in particular. Can't see him doing worse than Larin who is fast becoming the Andy Cole of Canadian soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him too vs Caps and I thought he was good, not flashy, played well but not spectacularly. I think, as said, he could come on like a Ricketts, and he does score, breaking into holes behind a striker or up the side. That is a very specific role, in any case, and you are not always going to be called upon to play it for Canada. Re comparing with Ricketts. He is more technical, has more control of the ball, and has consistently scored more in MLS. Ricketts you could argue is in a similar position, when called on he does the job, tends to rely on more frantic or intense attacking, Tesho plays in more controlled attacks. I think he is more of a team player, Ricketts maybe has a bit more drive or push, so for me, they could have a similar role. Perhaps, it could be argued, Tossaint can be asked to drop back and defend with more intensity than Tesho.
