Gian-Luca Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Because you can never do this early enough! Ages listed are the ages the players would be by this date in June of 2026 Larin (Age 31) Davies (Age 25) Millar (Age 26) Kaye (Age 32) Daniels (Age 27) Fraser (Age 28) Kinunbe (Age 28) Dunn (Age 27) Cornelius (Age 29) Cordova (Age 30) Busti (Age 27) This is a wild guess based only on known players at the moment, we don't know which 12-13 year olds who will be in their early 20's will have broken on to the scene by then.

Dominic94 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Agreed, we know we have more wonderkids on the way, also I’d think Collin and or Verhoeven will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 It's not too early at all. By then we will have figured out CRISPER and cloning. Hutch Hutch Hutch Hutch Hutch Hutch Hutch Hutch Hutch Hutch We only play with 10 'cause it's all we need and it intimidates the other team.

AvroArrow Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 8 years from now we can all come back to this thread and have a good laugh at how far off these predictions would be. How many people would have predicted Davies progression 4 years ago let alone 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I predict a lineup of 11 Canadian men between the ages of 16 and 45. Pretty sure i'll be bang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 This thread and all immediate soccer operations should be locked and shut down. I have been informed by someone on the Internet, that we do not produce players as well as Barcelona does. The future is hopeless. End it all now.

Macksam Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I think it will be 90% guys that are presently in their early teens. The CPL will bring light to more hidden gems in Davies' mold, which will allow said talent to be harnessed. I'm calling it now....2026 will be for us what 2002 was for Korea....minus any help from the refs of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Honestly, while it may be a wee bit early, to predict the starting 11, the thought of a few hidden-gem 12-14 yr old wunderkids that will mature within the WC timeline is pretty exciting. There are some really talented kids that I see playing at that age even at the local level - the coaching and development opportunities for those identified as potentially elite players is so much further ahead than it was a decade or two ago.

Actually a few of those guys will be younger than that.. Cornelius 28, Kaye 31, Dunn 26 come World Cup time. Cavallini 33, Piette 31 and Osorio 34 should also be there. Piette will probably be our most capped player and in his prime. Ya never know we might have a wild card old guy like Hoilett or Arfield too.

Guest Tg11 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 8 years is a long way off to predict a line-up. Too early for that. However, if Canada wants to realistically compete as far as the 2026 FIFA World Cup I have stressed this to every one of my friends that Canada needs to focus on youth development at every age level. Building more training facilities for young kids but also developing all Canadian born players and having them play abroad would be another step. By having them play either in the MLS or in other European leagues would be a way for Canadian players to mature but also develop a stronger sense for the game. If Herdman sticks around as manager by then then I think we could realistically compete. However, provided Canada takes these steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys, we can have a serious discussion about who will be in the starting line up for 2026 in January of 2023. As I've already indicated, this thread is meant to be a bit of fun in a time of celebration - throw out a bunch of names now and see how many you get right 8 years later - just for fun! If we can't have fun threads when we have something to celebrate, when can we. Some of you guys are reminding me of the Colonel in the Monty Python films & sketches ie. "Stop that! Stop that! That's silly! Now, nobody likes a good laugh more than I do... except perhaps my wife and some of her friends... oh yes and Will Johnson. Come to think of it most people likes a good laugh more than I do. But that's beside the point. Now, let's have a good clean healthy serious line-up discussion in five years time" Sheesh, you'll be telling me that my hair is too long to be a real vicar next......

BuzzAndSting Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I agree with @Gian-Luca, these types of threads are harmless and it’s great going back and looking who we thought had a ton of promise and those who came out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
