Remember, even small pop-up stadiums typically take 3 months of construction and nobody is going to start building in winter. Teams also need training facilities. I hope they don't launch before they have all their pieces on the board. Having CPL players train on high school pitches and playing in stadiums that are way too small or way too big isn't a great look...and I think we all agree the launch will be absolutely vital to drawing national attention. I get you.... However at the same time getting the league up and running is also good. Having good place to play, but with already plans to start building stadiums for some teams that don't have a stadium. No matter the situation if they got a team starting in the league they would still have to wait and build the stadium. Similar to how MLS started in 96. Sacrifices for some teams will have to be made as they grow the league and build these stadiums. We got to hope these big money players will make huge investments for this league and be patient for the returned profits in the far future. CPL will slowly impact CMNT no doubt and if they got the six team which I believe would be teams with CFL stadiums or other decent stadiums while a year or 2 years for stadium to be properly built. I feel they get it started August 2018 and with a model similar to MLS... They do have a bit of momentum right now and excitement which would be increased even higher with WC just having ended a month or so....

If there is anything to learn from the formation of MLS, it's don't start your league until you have the supporting infrastructure. It's literally the main reason the league almost folded in '99 and again in '01. Edited September 18, 2017 by harrycoyster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must know the kind of sacrifice this will take on their money and will have to push on to make it happen. Plus with six teams starting I'm sure they can manage.

Mike Thompson Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Who should be called up to the friendly vs El Salvador? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion26 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Would like to see 442 with AJH and Larin up top and after Cal and Larin up top second half. I'm good with whomever OZ calls up for the next game he's been good so far. Maybe calling young future CBs to this game would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Random Thought of the Day: For Camp Poutine 2018, the CanMNT should play a nation or two hit by the hurricanes as a way of helping the region return to normality.

I'd like to see him in more games against the latin teams before bouncing him up fully. Larin.....confuses me with the national team like are we not using him right, does he not care about friendlies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jith12 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Just now, matty said: Bermuda did give us a bit of a run True. Knowing us we'll probably find a way to concede a couple against these minnows. When Straith had to go in goal for Melvin I was convinced he would screw up and we would find a way to lose. He actually made a good save. Straith should consider switching positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 1. Cavallini 2. AJH 3. Larin 4. Ricketts Considering AJH and Ricketts are super subs I'd start Cav and Larin against El Salvador and sub in both AJH and Ricketts at the interval or shortly after. badname22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 2 hours ago, Mike Thompson said: Depth wise; as of right now, who would you have as 1-4? I'd say 1) Jackson-Hamel 2) Cavallini 3) Larin 4) Ricketts I have Ricketts in 4th only because I don't see him starting for Canada instead of the other 3, but I'd argue that Ricketts has a lot of value as a sub.
