Jith12 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 1998 Vancouver born CM playing for Sligo in the League of Ireland. So it turns out that there are two Canadians at Sligo and not just Kris Twardek! Corazon, Blackjack15, shamrock and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 The type of player this board loves; a player nobody knew was Canadian and that is already playing professionally! His twitter: http://twitter.com/wardesam He re-tweeted Peter Raco's tweet which kinda confirms the story. Obviously not called to the latest Irish U21 (U23) squad for September but the current cycle is for 98's and younger and he is a 98': http://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/ireland-u-21-squad-announced-for-armenia-sweden To get playing time with the Republic of Ireland's U21(U23) squad at centre-midfield, he would need to prove he is better than: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conor_Coventry I assume? Obviously not the level of a senior #CanMNT player yet but certainly deserves a serious look for our U23 squad. I'm not sure if he would need to file a one-time-switch. No mention of the those Ireland U18 games that Peter mentions on Transfermarkt: http://www.transfermarkt.us/sam-warde/profil/spieler/429248 hamiltonfan and Jith12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is immigration to 🇦🇺 on his mind? Either way, he is no longer a professional baller. Edited July 24, 2023 by Olympique_de_Marseille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 This is third tier in Australian terms and second tier in terms of the local Melbourne (Victoria) league. A bit like lower division semi-pro clubs in Scandinavia, clubs at this level in Australia will bring in a few ringers from overseas on fully professional deals. Clubs in the NSL in southern Ontario used to do something similar in the 70s and 80s and I guess L1O clubs like Electric City might do it occasionally in the present day. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 No offence to the player, but why do we talk about him more than the ~150 Canadians competing in CPL? narduch and Buchta 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Talking about him doesn’t stop people from talking about someone from CanPL……. Buchta, Pottsy3, canuckgbp and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea is to avoid cluttering the CMNT section, there are some basic criteria (guidelines? Suggestions?) about who warrants a thread. And while we all hope this guy kills it, someone playing semi-pro footy in the Australian 3rd tier may not justify a stand-alone thread at this point.

I agree. Basically we need to utilize the Players thread. Kind of like we move players from Here to World Soccer when they get capped for another nation, we can have every player in the Players thread and only when they get capped at the Canada Senior team level, they get moved here. Maybe the rule can be: CMNT thread - Senior capped players Players - Uncapped and Canada Youth capped players World Soccer - Guys who switched nations The challenge would be getting people to stick to it lol. (Also maybe move the Players thread up above the Can PL thread, so it's move visible and right behind the national team thread - (maybe rename it to Potential Senior Team Players)) Edited July 25, 2023 by rydermike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the point this thread was created he was likely thought to be on an upward trajectory, though I agree too many threads. canuckgbp and The Real Marc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
