This is about telling your whole organization about what you stand for, where you're heading and how you'll get there. Basically, it tells everyone where to spend the calories human and moneywise. Those posters in our meeting room started off as powerpoints by upper management at AGM's in Houston. Just like that page of slogans is going to turn into posters in the locker room. I'm all for the CSA acting more professionally, but shouldn't that come from the top? Herdman's basically the bottom rung of the org. Steven Reed should be delivering the mission statement and those below should be following through with competent hires, more scouting, more games etc. Edited March 24, 2019 by jpg75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about telling your whole organization about what you stand for, where you're heading and how you'll get there. Basically, it tells everyone where to spend the calories human and moneywise. Developing these type of statements is part of good leadership, and the road to good products, relevant marketing and well-received branding. We all have complained about the CSA not being managed properly. This placemat shows they're finally showing they're at least starting to think like a professional org. Under Montopoli the CSA was not perfect but run better than I can ever remember it being run. I see every sign of it reverting to the poor ways it was run before, no friendlies, a poor shirt design. strange firing of someone who appeared to be doing a good job, the hiring of an insider without a very impressive CV to replace him, no consequences to the coaching staff for the poor performance at the U20, tv broadcast for a home game announce the week of the match, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All speculation though. Edited March 24, 2019 by BuzzAndSting Blackjack15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should without a doubt end up the most-liked comment of the day. Maybe with some friendlies we can iron out a functional back line going into GC.

Hope there's at least 2 games just prior to the Gold Cup. Would like a game played in a Latin country (maybe Bolivia or Peru) and 1 at home.

BuzzAndSting Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I’m guessing the 2 games are neutral site in California, Texas or Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like a game played in a Latin country (maybe Bolivia or Peru) in June but a pair of home games (1 in Toronto, 1 in Vancouver) Well we aren't going to get another one in March as the international window comes to an end unless you plan on using CPL based players and the odd out of season European league players. I would hope for a 30 man squad for at least 2 friendlies come end of May / beginning of June. Even if a few of those 30 players are just called for some training with the squad.

Mikmacdo Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hoilet cavallini Davies Osorio David estaquio Kaye James Henry zgb All of these guys will be around for a while, the future is bright. Obviously arfield and hutch take Osorio and estaquios spots for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I hope these pre-Gold Cup friendlies are announced soon now that we've officially qualified.......the US and Jamaica aren't waiting for the draw to announce that they are playing each other pre-Gold Cup: https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/03/26/report-us-national-team-host-jamaica-june-friendly-audi-field-dc Olympique_de_Marseille 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazon Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) I thought I would quickly put together the 2019 MLS player stats for Canadians. I hope I included all and even some potential dual nationals. It will be interesting to see how these numbers progress throughout the season.

Club Linesman Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Thanks for doing this! Miss the Canadian Power Rankings - are those no longer being calculated. Believe it was done by Steven Sandor on one of the Canadian soccer sites. It is interesting to compare the number of minutes Canadians are getting in MLS and USL ... from year to year.

Kent Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Sandor's site (the11.ca) hasn't been updated in 4 weeks. He did tabulate minutes played in North American leagues the last few years. I wonder if he is taking some time off, perhaps to be able to be fresh once the CPL and in particular FC Edmonton season starts. Hopefully he's not giving up on it.
