toontownman Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 That is pretty mental having to have 3 keepers in such a small squad. I don't understand why it isn't 23. Why limit the nations? It will be worse in the summer it was only a 18 man squad in 2016. Knowing our luck we will actually qualify this time, then it will be cancelled due to the Coronavirus.

CanadaFan123 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Watch TFC refuse to release Fraser and us call a TFC II team. The writing is basically on the wall. It's almost advantageous for TFC to refuse to release Fraser because a) they don't care how Canada does and b) they get to send a developmental player for "experience", which they'll otherwise never get with their club.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 The Haiti squad lists: Josué Duverger http://www.canadasoccer.com/?pid=4251&t=profile& Matteo Cantave http://canadasoccer.com/?pid=5346&t=profile& who I believe are not cap-tied to Haiti. While ex-Fury player Jimmy-Shammar Sanon (whom I rated highly and who is cap-tied to Haiti) is nowhere to be found.

toontownman Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Unless I am going crazy TFC only play one match in that period on March 21st, away to Cincinnati. Next match is April 4th. They couldn't sacrifice him for one game? Probably not lol Edit: Shome and ZBG are in the same boat. One away game in Minnesota on the 21st.

toontownman Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Yeah thought mekideche was supposed to be there. Good to know about Amuz. Also nice to see there is potentially a baseline depth at CB developing. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Looking at the roster and trying to trim it down to 20 is very difficult. Is Tabla is at risk at missing out? I know it kind of sounds like an outrageous thing to suggest. But hear me out... Byrn and Nelsen made very good impressions last senior camp. Miller is obviously playing at a high level at the moment. Raposo is a dark horse and so is Schaffleburg. Bair had a good senior camp by all accounts too, plus he is a little different with his size, so I think will be selected. What about Borges? We are not going to take all of those players AND Tabla. Someone is going to miss out. The next few weeks are going to be critical. The final squad will be announced on the 11th. That essentially gives the MLS based players two rounds to convince the CSA. If I had to take 6 players from that group right now, I would go with: Miller, Bair, Byrn, Nelsen, Borges and Tabla. That said, I can see Raposo sneaking in somewhere. Finally, a word on Nelsen. On paper he may be the least deserving, due to his age. However, I get the sense he is very highly rated internally, for better or worse. And again, he took his senior chance well. I wouldn't bet on him missing out. Edited February 27, 2020 by Obinna toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 It's bloody hard and probably why this has been my favourite thread since it was started. So many options. In the end I think players not being able to come will narrow down the list for CSA staff. Definitely a few too many attacking players for the amount of spots. 3 keepers in such a small squad is maddening. Also why I think we will take 1 LB if Cornelius and Miller come as someone else mentioned. That would be harsh on abzi. We don't have a lot of depth in CM, especially if Fraser cant come. Shome, Fraser, okello and Paton would probably be our best four. Do we sacrifice one of those because Nelsen can play through the middle? With Tabla, he is definitely at risk but I think he is also ahead of raposo and probably choiniere. Buchanan could be dark horse too. I'd do agree with your 6 @Obinna but think schaffleburg will be there too. Also will two strikers be enough in Brym and Bair? With 20 we might not have a choice. I wouldnt call either of them target men. They like to play wide. It's a toss up between Zanatta, Campbell and Ongaro for me for the 3rd. Zanatta versatility might help. Ongaro would be a useful weapon and wild card but it could be a coming out party for Campbell. So what the hell a revised list: 3 keepers: Breza, Pantemis and Hasal 2 RBs: ZBG, Godinho 4 CBs: Cornelius, Millar, TMG, 1 LB: Bassong 4 CM: Paton, Fraser, Okello, Shome 3 wingers: Tabla, Schaffelburg, Nelsen 3 strikers: Brym, Bair, Ongaro Ah left out Borges..fuck. Ah the glory and folly of pointless pontificating. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker911 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 A bit suprising how few of the squad from 4 years developed. Crepeau and Piette are the only regular MLS players, a couple part time mls, but mostly CPL/USL. Hopefully some of these guys end up a bit better. My team would be.

CPL will and is really helping in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrasso was a can't miss prospect. Boakai had more hype around him than any forward we have on this 50-man list.

Sounded like it. I took it as speculation on their part though. He didn't have the best game tonight. He didn't make too many mistakes, but his long passing was inaccurate and he could be a fraction quicker with the ball at his feet. I see that Miller didn't even get in the game today.
