JasonDias Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Interesting note that I've just become aware of. Lucas' old Sporting Toronto Academy director Pedro Dias (not related) is now with the Whitecaps, as the technical director of their London academy. Sporting has linked up with Vancouver in the past in loaning players. toontownman, sebdeserio, N1ckbr0wn and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked him about his early life, aspirations and work ethic. Asked him what his goal was with Sporting, which he responded that he'd like to be with the 1st team as early as next season. He was asked about playing for Canada and Portugal and which one he desired. He said it's an honour to play for both nations and likes the fact that he can still choose either or, and while he would prefer Portugal because of the caliber of talent they have and the history of playing in European tournaments, he mentioned that people (viewers) should not discount Canada as a football nation as there is a lot of emerging talent and promise with the team and that it is an exciting environment that he is looking forward to be a part of (referencing the qualifying tournament) toontownman, Corazon, johnyb and 10 others 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes across as a very mature young man! I guess one would have to be if you left home as an 11 old to follow your dreams. And for something you didn't know: he briefly mentioned that his Portuguese wasn't very good when he first moved over to Portugal. I would say that was very Canadian of him! ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 He’s about 10 pounds of muscle away from embarrassing men in Liga Nos, skill is evident but I’ve noticed he isn’t too solid and very raw strength wise. I can only imagine his speed at 20 and how hard he will be to get the ball from. FYI he reminds me of Habibullah who has similar knocks if you can call it that.

Reign Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Yeah the skill is evident. Needs to get stronger but he has some pretty great potential. Also love his compete level. Biello wasted him this tournament, hope he comes back. Hope Biello does not. Ansem and Dominic94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoH037 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 He can still see time against Mexico.. I hope he does, that game is a long shot but we need to leave everything on the field for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I think they’re taking it slow with Dias which is fair. He’s 18 and has never played professional / 1st team minutes. He’s still playing 25 minutes per match and getting a chance to show his stuff. If this experience turns him off from Canada soccer in a Hargreaves type scenario that’s a bit ridiculous. dyslexic nam, cronaldo7, h coach and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 They are wasting his talent. He’s the most offensive midfield talent we have and they bring them in at the 70 minute mark each game. It’s stupidity at its best! Plus don’t you think Portugal’s not watching this. The kid has been playing against men for one the past six months or more in Portugal. He’s game ready he should start against Mexico. Dominic94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with everything except the last part - he hasn’t been playing against men. U23 you are a man, but you’re not a man yet. But more so to the point of why he should be playing!

SpecialK Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 I don’t blame him if he leaves because of the stupidity and bullshit that’s going on with the coaching at this tourney. He’s been a joke. Plus Millar and others not there ? I’m sorry would it be better for Millar to be with the U23 team battling it out 90 minutes each game being a huge difference maker and leader. I’m sorry I don’t get the thinking here? 15 minutes versus Bermuda’s B/C team or 90 mins vs A very good Honduras Mexico US team RichV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes vs ACF Wimbledon the 2nd last place team and he only played 68 mins. Now he got 2 Assists because he’s playing amazing. But can he would be playing against tougher opposition in this Tournament and he would be put in a leadership role and he one of main guys. Pressure would be on him Which would be good Edited March 26, 2021 by SpecialK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopePouri Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I don't think he has a choice. Charlton are fighting for promotion and have the right to withhold players, especially for matches outside of the international window.

He hasn't played with 1st or B but he has trained with both, it is very common for u23 up to 1st team to train together at Sporting.
