Shway Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) "He's hoping to release some of his best players for U23 olympic qualifying"... That could be interpreted in many ways. Also I can't see David, Davies, or Millar getting released for potentially 3 weeks. It would be prime time for clubs in their seasons. Maybe Cornelius, Shome and Miller.....but even still I would rather see some other guys get a chance to show and prove.

dyslexic nam Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Tricky one. Guys who are getting club minutes could feel a bit conflicted, but it isn’t like Shome at the GC who knew he wouldn’t see much, if any, playing time. And while U23 may not be top tier international footy, it is still a high level of competition and would expose some of these guys to another level and style of play. Would be great if Tabla could use it as a platform to find his groove. And while I imagine David, David’s and Miller have too much going on at the club level, I could see Miller, and Shome going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think it's a wait and see how Miller is used in the next few matches....because he could cement his place in the senior team. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) I made a stats tracking list of all the U23 players. It consist of minutes played in 2019. I chose to exclude some duals simply based on that I couldn't find any information. *Note: I also excluded u23 eligible players that have senior caps, the only exception is Busti. Godinho, Brault-Guillard, Millar, David, Davies, Miller, Tabla & Cornelius - that is a serious solid core Here's the list: Canada U23 Players Edited September 29, 2019 by Shway Olympique_de_Marseille, Jith12, Corazon and 8 others 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also worth noting that he has scored half of Edmonton’s 14 goals in the fall season, assisting 2 more. Put him on an offensive team you might see a lot more.

Colliedor Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Without using any of the players currently called up against USA (cause I don't know about their availability for Olympics). Goalkeepers: Marco Carducci, James Pantemis, Alessandro Busti Defenders: Zachary Brault-Guillard, Malyk Hamilton, Chrisnovic N'Sa, Robert Boskovic Thomas Meilleur-Giguère, Karifa Yao, Diyaeddine Abzi, Ndzemdzela Langwa Midfielders: Liam Fraser, David Norman Jr., Noble Okello, Shamit Shome, Matthew Baldisimo, Matthew Srbely Forwards: Tristan Borges, Ballou Tabla, Zach Verhoven, Charles-Andreas Brym, Theo Bair, Terran Campbell ------------------Carducci ZBG ------ N'Sa --- Boskovic --- Abzi ----------------Liam Fraser -------Okello ---------------- Shome --Borges -------------------------------- Tabla --------------------Brym Added Carducci despite being over the age range. Feel like this tournament would be good for a possible future goalkeeper. The line up would look a little different if players like Yankov ever committed.

The 3 over age player rule only applies to the actual Olympic tournament itself. The CONCACAF qualifiers for the Olympic tournament do not allow any over aged players.

toontownman Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Seeing as there is a shred of optimism now before we blow it... ..which 3 over 23's would we pick if we made it? Kaye, Estaquio and Borjan? Cavallini? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well the games are in Jul/Aug, so that's a no to anyone big from MLS or MX. Most european leagues would be still in preseason. Maybe Davies/David?? A guy can dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 If we made the Olympics I would go with the following 3 over aged players 1. Borjan - best keeper and no can’t miss up and comers at the moment 2. Eustáquio - helps get him some important games for Canada. Important player moving forward 3. Cavallini - big physical no. 9 that could give other young teams trouble —————Borjan———— zbg——?—Cornelius—Miller ————-Eustáquio———-— ——Shome—Okello———- david—Cavallini—Davies toontownman, BCM and WestHamCanadianinOxford 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a huge stage for normally non-soccer people. The problem being getting clubs to co-operate. Or even players: one of my club's ex-players blames his participation in London 2012 for losing his place in the team and setting a young career back. Maybe sour grapes but it is about perception.

Shway Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Cavallini? Borjan?.... I mean if we finally qualify then we are good enough to compete with the guys we have. Calling in those guys is pointless tbh when we'll be focusing on nations league semi finals 😁, and Hex preparations. I rather have David, Davies, Cornelius play with the younger guys in preparation for the future. I see no benefit. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
