I haven't been the biggest fan of CSA decision making over the last few months, but I really like this roster. We all like to get excited about the players with superstar potential, but the thing you really look for when building a good national team program is depth. Any country can produce a world class player once in a blue moon, but the countries that do it consistently are able to because the level of competition within the pool demands an even higher level. Regularly producing world class players requires a pool of European calibre players which itself must be built upon a pool of MLS calibre players and so on. We are still early in that process, but the worst players on this roster are more talented than the kids who were starting for our u20s ten years ago. That's what everybody should be excited about. Bummed that Ruby had to pull out as I think this could have been his coming out party. He's the best pure defending prospect in any of the MLS pipelines. Great to see Verhoeven is open to representing Canada, as he's probably been the best Canadian in USL so far this season. His ability to pass and control the ball is well above USL quality and honestly the Caps could use him right now. Well said !! So pumped and excited for this tournament ! We are going to surprise some people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I see there's a Canadian officiating crew at the tournament as well, which is less glamorous than the team being there but also the type of thing that's important for the development of the game here.

Blackdude Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Émile Legault got interviewed for FC 91.9. (mercredi 23 mai) https://919sport.ca/nos-emissions/emission/le-fc919 Played at St-Lambert. Moved to France with his mom played at U13 in a small club (didn't get the club) near Auxerre and moved to Auxerre. Now playing with the U19 but still staying at Auxerre because he sees that the level is better there. He considers himself a generous player in his efforts that is solid defensively and likes to bring overlap and crosses offensively. He was surprised to get called to the Toulon Tournament because of his young age. He was preselected from a list of 45 players. He likes that Biello and other coaches speak French because it wasn't the case in previous selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked it up for the MLS content and have watched a lot more than that, but if you value being able to watch the Toulon tournament, I would offer that paying for it is a good way to ensure you get the chance to do so again in the future. cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 You would think the CSA would throw us some crumbs and post a few pics from camp..sigh! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Don't worry if we do anything but get beaten soundly the CSA will be all over sharing the new regimes progress. Seriously though I expect they are just late to the party. It seems with every camp they are later and later with info and updates. Disappointed it isn't anywhere free but like with the Champions League if Dazyn is willing to pay the required money fair play for them. It still reeks too much of Setanta/Sportsnet World for me which doesn't have enough content I watch to make it worth the price. For a fan that likes watching all games and other sports in general there is lots on there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an U21 friendly tournament, so the media team isn't going to be providing wall-to-wall coverage like they do for senior camps. It's been the same way for other youth camps previously.
