Ivan Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 The kid (Passacquale) is only 15 though, pretty young to go to a U17 WC. Our U15s were very talented, possibly best in Concacaf (we'll never know as Slovenia and Portugal met in the final) with Marshall-Rutty and Mbongue (Ralph's brother?) from Toronto and Assi and the other kid from Montreal (sorry, cant remember his name). None of these boys were called to our U17s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these boys were called to our U17s. I can only speak to TFC here, but their U15s were absolutely dominant this past year. They won the inaugural U15 USSDA title and were runners-up at the Generation Adidas Cup. Players like Marshall-Rutty have played professionally with TFCII and are probably good enough to make this year's U17 team, but they are all born in 2004. They will still be eligible for the 2021 U17 cycle. The coaches might've decided to give this experience to the 2002 players and let the 2004's have their turn in 2021.

Norrin Radd Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) I recall reading somewhere that a player is only allowed to participate in one U17 tournament. I think the rule only applies to the actual tournament not the qualifiers as I believe Jordan Hamilton and Kianz Froese both played twice in the CONCACAF qualifiers with Froese representing Cuba his first time. If this is in fact correct it wouldn't make much sense to call up any of the 15 year olds now and disqualify them from the 2021 tournament.

SpecialK Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Maybe he shouldn’t be named to the roster but maybe they should bring in some 15 year old players to some camps and have them play some friendlies. It would be a great test for them and get them into the Canadian program. Edited October 5, 2019 by SpecialK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I'm surprised nobody has pointed out that it seems Colyn, an MLS academy player, was dropped in favour of a CPL player Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigma78 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Logan Cavaco is a 2002 who is playing with Belenenses U19 (1st tier). I believe he was in the Toronto FC Academy in the past. Baran Acar (2002) is a back up keeper for Boluspor U19 (1st tier). He was on the bench last weekend for a match vs Trabzonspor. https://us.soccerway.com/players/baran-davut-acar/578176/ Edited October 12, 2019 by Sigma78 SpecialK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Oluwaseun Oyegunle made his debut for Forge today as a sub and got 39 minutes. Anyone see how he looked? Only 16 and 6'2" defender. Started playing with Sigma last season at only 15. His wiki page says he went to the u17 camp in August. I assume he didn't impress enough to displace a MLS academy guy.

No idea who scored or how the game went except that we scored at roughly the 75th minute after Argentina had already bagged two goals. This means this squad does have some fight in them! http://twitter.com/Argentina/status/1184590012698038274 You can see a few of the players who played from pictures on the AFA's twitter; go through all their tweets about the game.

I know it's not that simple but take it a step further.. no player with professional minutes made the team: kid at Forge, Colyn, Pebble and the kid at Ottawa. So a total of 4 kids in this u17 age group with pro experience and not one makes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, then there's the reason why they weren't called. Too many politics but to be fair this core group did do fairly well in qualifying for the tournament. I also think that Ralph, Jacen & Jayden have all played for TFC II this year. Before anyone gets upset, no I do not agree that all the players come from the three Canadian MLS academies minus Kouadio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
