narduch Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Not with the big club for when they take on Strasbourgh tomorrow. Nice II does play against Istres in National 3 so Smith will probably feature in that game. johnyb, Xavier. and Corazon 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 We do have those three youth players in Portugal that are "apparently" called up for the camp and Kelosha was supposed to join in Jan. So I would be at least cautiously optimistic if the likes of Dias and Smith aren't there it won't be for the lack of trying or at least interest on the CSA's part. dyslexic nam and Kadenge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is assuming Canada even knows about him. There's a number of guys who we have scouted ont his board that I'm not fully convinced the CSA is aware of. Granted that was an issue of old I don't know if they now have people who peruse this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSA has been contacting and calling up guys this forum doesn't know about, I can't believe that they wouldn't know about a guy in Ligue 1. red card, johnyb, Northvansteve and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he would attend. I have no idea if he will accept a senior call (assuming we extend the invitation at some point) but he is already repping us at the youth level so there is no risk to keep participating at that level.

I couldn't like this post enough. @narduch I am appreciative of your updates in most cases, but please consider holding off until there's some actual news on him that is outside of the usual. I get excited every time this thread is bumped and it's a consistent disappointment to see nothing has changed. costarg and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy3 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 After receiving a call to the U20's, Smith has a profile on Canada Soccer's website which confirms that his connection to Canada is through his parents who were both born in Ottawa: I know the French setup is not easy to break into, but I'm choosing to imagine that this is a reverse Marcelo Flores situation where the expat parents are proud of where they came from and rubbed that onto their child.

Nitpick but if they have been in France that long, they aren't expats. They are immigrants. frattinator and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh, I'm sure a lot of people born in the 90s had Xavi and Iniesta as their favourite players growing up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
