Usually we have a speculation thread on who will be called by now. I guess the usual suspects are busy with x-mas shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianSoccerFan Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I'm watching "El Chapo" on Netflix and the 4th episode repeatedly shows clips from Mexico's 2-1 win over Canada at Varsity Stadium in 1993. Unfortunately it doesn't show the gangsters' reaction to Alex Bunbury's opening goal lol. The Cardinal and Archbishop of Guadalajara delivers a sermon contrasting Mexico's success in beating Canada to the country's failure to win the drug war. As a result, he is promptly assassinated days later. Clearly he didn't understand that Craig Forrest's goalkeeping was a slightly less formidable obstacle than the cartels.

Both cities have very good conditions in doing so (demographics wise for sure) to recruit good talented players from within their population and give them proper training & development... As you may know Montreal has very similar demographics to Paris and the exact same immigration sources as Paris and we seen how these demographics have play a critical role in player development for Paris and to a big extent Les Bleus.... Why can't Les Rouges emulate such model?.... Plus we got much more diversity than them, just think about the biggest English-metropolis in the country. (look to Toronto and the whole GTA no further, lol) ... And just about equal resources and infrastructure and obviously $$$$ to put a good system in place, lol.... The only thing playing against Canadian cities are obviously factors such as weather (always indoor soccer I guess, right?) plus still a large apathy to the sport as it still lags quite behind other popular sports in these parts, but it is growing and will keep doing so for the next several years, guaranteed... I hate to say, but I still think football will lag behind ice hockey as it is still not part of Canadian culture and may never be? ... But it's a whole North American conundrum , also prevalent in the U.S based on other articles I've read.. At least in Paris and France as is the case in most of Europe, soccer is part of local culture... There is CERTIANLY potential here and TFC is building their brand very well at least within Toronto and GTA and are determined to have a great competitive sides for years to come and Craig Forrest even mention that the whole TFC brass is investing money in developing local talent to the big team ... And if you think who some of these players who may end up playing for TFC down the road, you will see the diversity of Toronto reflected just as the article states how the diversity of Paris is reflected in PSG... And a similar thing can be with the Impact (in fact, will look very similar to PSG, lol) from a demographics perspective... And consequently, this can translate to the CANMNT.... At this moment, in terms of demographics CANMNT is pretty reminiscent to that of France and if we put our act together and managed to keep our top talent, I can see CANMNT with equal demographics and similar level of talent to France national team (lest we hope, lol) ... We gotta follow that model and to an extent the CSA is already doing so, but we gotta do a lot more still... I'm not suggesting by any means that Montreal and Toronto will become the biggest hotbed for football talent in the world, but among the biggest indeed... Again this will not be seen until at least 10 more years in my thinking... I'm sure Québec will supply a lot of this football talent!

CNMNTPERUELIGIBLE Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Btw, any idea when the olympic camp roster will be revealed?... It is slated for Jan.9, I have been continuously checking any tweets under the #CANMNT hashtag and by CANPL Brasil (they are very good on reporting CANMNT activity and anything concerning Canadian soccer, better in fact than a lot of local sources as much as I hate to say), but no word whatsoever... I'm sure a lot of you guys, just like myself are very intrigued as to the call-ups... If anyone has any inside knowledge as to when this will be revealed , share!!!.... I'm really looking forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally a player like Sam Piette becomes successful with the Impact and our sport becomes more popular in Montreal. It is very much a city with potential to become a soccer hotbed.

Embarrassing. EDIT: It appears Verhoeven has accepted both US and Canadian call ups before. Still sucks to see a potential u20 CMNT starter in a US jersey.

Northvansteve Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm more concerned with the fact that we have had no significant youth camps in a year. It's no wonder then that players who have options are looking elsewhere. BCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 The odd-birth year bugaboo strikes again. Born in '99, a year underage for the 2015 U17 and then 2 years underage for the last U20's. Anyways, let's see if he accepts the call-up to one or more of the 3 U20 camps we're supposed to hold in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GTA population wise is bigger or close to population wise than a lot of top 20 soccer countries , meaning that just the GTA has the potential to develop most of our future Canadian national team players, that's why when people say that outside the Toronto area no one really cares or could name you 3 players from TFC I say so what as long as TFC is relevant in the 4th. largest city in North America that's enough to get young kids to keep playing and aspire to make it to the MLS and to bigger leagues in the future.

matty Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Hey guys 6% of MLS players are Canadian! Isn't that awesome? A 1% increase from 2007! There are just as many Canadians in MLS as there are African and Central American players! Fuck yea am I right? For having only 13% of the teams in the league I'd say that seems about right.
