We have seen Didic. I wonder about his pace. Any more CPL players? Are Teibert and Piette simultaneous candidates for DM? Would Pasher be dangerous in CONCACAF with our midfield? Is Edwards a kind of sleeper (he played well with Minnesota)?Babouli, to me, sees the field incredibly well, plays well into space both on and off the ball, and has a very high football IQ.

Pasher and Edwards are debatable. Bair, Tabla, Bustos and Nelson are just some of the other players who may be considered. Midfield looks good. I like the Babouli call. I also wonder if Bekker if we are considering Babouli. I wonder if Chapman gets another chance. He's played just as sparingly as Edwards, but we haven't seen Raheem in a while, so perhaps his chance comes. Defense looks good as well. I agree that Didic's lack of pace is a concern, but he is also very dominant in the air. I think he needs to be there as you only have 3 CBs listed (including Miller). Cheers!

Of course, Akinola gets an invitation. That was an odd omission by me. Who, besides Didic comes to mind for an additional CB? If there is a winter break in Europe, then, depending on quarantine rules, Adekugbe, and Kennedy (CB) could attend. Who else at CB could be called who has a reasonable chance of winning as spot on the U-23 or the CMNT roster over time?

Bison44 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Has there been any kind of official word on this supposed camp?? I'd even take a glasscity tweet or a rollins mention at this point. Something to show it might actually happen. Or are we going to end up doing this circle J**K roster speculation for another 10 pages for nothing?? Sorry, I was just looking at USMNT pics of their training sessions with a smiling Akinola going through drills and its making me lose my mind!!!

Just like when the question was asked earlier: On 11/19/2020 at 11:07 AM, costarg said: Ok seriously man, has there been any public indication of any kind of the CSA's plans? The answer remains the same: On 11/19/2020 at 2:02 PM, Olympique_de_Marseille said: The CSA has always played its cards close to the chest. The mainstream press that have contacts with them (Neil Davidson is the perfect example) tend to report generic stories that are easily digestible by readers of mainstream publications. They never post rumours of things to come or things the CSA would be unhappy about. They also never post any tentative plans or anything prior to an official CSA press release. You have to go to the foreign press for rumours. (In this case, the press out of Panama) We will likely get a CSA confirmation the day the players fly out for the camp. If you want a tweet from @GlassCity, he is following the latest news out of Panama, just like the rest of us: @xabuep2 was the one who made us aware of that tweet from sports journalist Ricardo Icaza.

Does @xabuep2 know more? There is talk of having Martinique as a rival, two games away. The negotiation with Canada seems to be cooling off. In my personal opinion, if the game with Canada does not take place, I do not think it is due to a lack of interest from Fepafut, since the arrival of Danish coach Christiansen, a lot has been invested in friendly matches. And the local media leaked the news of the games with Canada. I believe more that the CSA has not confirmed and therefore has not reached a happy agreement. But these are just my speculations, let's see what will happen. Obinna and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DR is also hosting Puerto Rico (so Puerto Rico is actually playing 3 matches in January). In the end @Bison44 will be happy I guess.

Gaining experience in central america would have been nice, it never goes to waste, but I can see how this would make more sense. Credit where credit is due if this comes to fruition.
