My guess is club pressure. They play PSG after the break. dyslexic nam and Dominic94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it was to train, I would’ve love to see Canniggia. Oh yea, and Arfield should be done as captain #respectfully. I expect us to make changes after Bermuda.

Anyone else I can think of is injured. Probably would have been good to have Cornelius here. I feel like Cornelius is being better utilized at the olympics (although if we drop some points in these matches I might deeply regret this statement) toontownman and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess it wouldn't be a true Canada squad without Unattached FC. My guess is Herdman wants Ferreira playing. He’s going to use this as a showcase so hopefully by June he’s on a club and getting regular minutes.

Surely we could’ve picked some other MLS player who actually gets game time. He would have been on the U23 team had not been for the TFC Covid situation, usually a few promising young players are included on every roster.

toontownman Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 What a midfield and attack! Exciting squad. Big chances for Ferreira (has been training with the U23's and Sturing according to OneSoccer) CB is the only real concern but a good pool all the same. dyslexic nam and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Ferreira has been helping JH and his scouting team scout luso-canadians (that's what you call a Portuguese/Canadian descendent) in Liga NOS/ as well as understand the structure of that league system. I do agree that JH will likely use this as a showcase for Ferreira and will probably look to help Ferreira land a spot on an MLS team.

SkuseisLoose Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I know this will be controversial but I’d much prefer someone like teibert then Nelson. Don’t need to be testing out a young player during wcq. NVsoccer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no reason for Nelson to be in this camp instead of Olympic qualifying where he might have actually been useful. There’s also more than enough players in the Olympic squad who have a lot better argument to be in the wcq then Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, against the clubs we'll be playing in this window, I'll take a guy who could possibly create something on his own against a parked bus, vs. a solid but unspectacular midfielder who doesn't offer you too much in the final third. dyslexic nam and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
