Blackdude Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Let's have fun. With the latest camp poutine, it's a question that I was wondering myself what the answer to the question was. Who is the best Canadian player still active that doesn't have a cap in their name? He has to be eligible for us and hasn't played for another national team before or at the youth level. (I think the reason behind this is I don't want to have a player that needs to file a one-time switch for reasons) The player may have participated in a senior team camp, so Marco Carducci or Dominic Zator would be valid answers My pick is Ryan Raposo. The one thing about this is that there are so many answers and I don't think that there would be a consensus here.

Stryker911 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I would say Shome I believe he has only played friendlies. Bair, Waterman, Christian Guiterrez and Elva would all be up there as well. yothat2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I'd add either Sebastian Breza or Harry Paton, of those not requiring a one time switch like Ferreira, Gutierrez or Kadioglu. Raposo may be the pick very quickly however. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strait Red Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I’m curious to see how good Aviv Solomon is, not sure if he’ll ever play but he’s a mystery at this point. The best long term uncapped player right now might be Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty, I recently heard from a reliable source that a prominent European side is very interested in him. In terms of likely to make an impact soon, I’ll go with Raposo as well. Ivan, NVsoccer, TGAA_Star and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Right now, I would say Sergio Camargo. However, there are a lot of youth coming through that should be capped based on potential: Jordan Perruzza (2001) Simon Colyn (2002) - Would really like to know where he's at these days. Kam Habibullah (2003) Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty (2004) Those are the ones, outside of any changes from other nationalities (Yankov, Kadioglu etc.), that I'd like to see get their first cap next.

Bison44 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 TMG, Rapaso, Carducci, Irving, St CLair (dont want to lose another to T+T). So hard to get caps for keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Observer Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Raposo. I liked what I saw of him with the Whitecaps so far. I think he has alot of potential. I wish I could say Waterman as we need more centerbacks. I think these guys will be good as well as said by El Hombre but too young at this stage Simon Colyn (2002)Kam Habibullah (2003)Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty (2004) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sometimes you're presented with an opportunity like an away game in Jamaica after you've already been eliminated from a World Cup, are losing 3-0, still fail to get your up and coming top young keeper into the game, then watch as he makes a switch to another nation. Honestly, Dale Mitchell was just an atrocious hire for the national team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, Dale Mitchell was just an atrocious hire for the national team. At the time, he couldn't switch sides under the current rules then. They changed them subsequently which then allowed him to switch. That being said, I remember thinking at the time why didn't he get the start as we were eliminated and he should have been looking to get young players experience for the future.
