Might have to temper expectations, at least for the near future No expectations on my end. Just ruminating on the likelihood of jumping ship prematurely. With Tanzania out for 2022, I would imagine his sights are fixed firmly on 2026 with Canada - if they ever strayed to begin with. There’s also the very outside chance at cracking the Canada roster in the next 12 months - unlikely but not impossible. We’re only a month removed from clamouring for an emergency Tesho callup.

footballfreak Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Amanda didn’t get off the bench again today, but I watched the last 10 minutes anyways. Austria Klagenfurt got the late winner in 90th minute. Frustrating goal to watch as a keeper. The Tirol keeper, Oswald, made a really strong reaction save off a point blank header, only to to have it ricochet right off his centre back’s knee and juuuuust over the line.

Bison44 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Well he would have had all those special MLS rules helping him. If he was a GA player, he wouldnt count against the cap and they would have incentive to develop him. Ruffian and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is that bad, though I'd like to see the coach count on him more. Perhaps he has to learn what training and making yourself available means at this level. johnyb, Kadenge, Corazon and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as we've gone over with plenty of other players before, sometimes they just need to learn about being a professional. Don't think there's any reason to be concerned yet. shamrock and footballfreak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on winter break, playing friendlies. I think folks have to keep some perspective. The kid went from NCAA to top flight pro in Austria and may need some time. But then again, he's mostly gotten late minutes, and maybe only a few starts. Sounds to me like he has to earn his minutes, train harder and fight for a spot, which he may not be so used to.

Worse case he'll leave for a D2 team in Austria, and unlike MLS he has a say about where he wants to play. yothat2 and Unnamed Trialist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse case he'll leave for a D2 team in Austria, and unlike MLS he has a say about where he wants to play. True, they could loan him out. As they just promoted to top flight, if they stay up this year in B1 they'll be happy overall, then decide if he can help going forward. I was curious so I took a look at his twitter, and he congratulates Oregon State buddies from last year who were taken in the MLS superdraft this year. So these guys are going into MLS clubs, and will likely play u23. Their path will not be any faster. Now Gloire had some previous pro experience with Whitecaps2, and he is slightly older as he did not start university until a few years after high school. But still, NCAA means a late start, and what is NCAA? Well it's training for the season over August, then a season that is about 3 and half months long. True, they do tend to do training sessions off-season, but very informally, more like justifying their scholarships (Jan-April, not sure they all do this but a friend had his son at UMKC and then Seattle University, and they did this). But competing 4 months, and for seniors, only being rivalled by the freshman and sophomores who are much greener coming in. Top this off with: Covid cut in to the 2020 season for many university programmes. Then maybe a PDL or equivalent, League One, in the summer. Poor continuity, weak competitive edge, not close at all to a pro environment. Edited February 4, 2022 by Unnamed Trialist shamrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe MacCarthy Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I don't know how similar the rules and regulations of differing sports in NCAA are but this interview on PTS with Carleton basketball coach Dave Smart on CIS and NCA goes into detail on how the CIS might be a much better choice for many Canadian athletes rather than NCAA. Interview starts at 21:40 Pretty enlightening stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 With this happening just outside the transfer window, I hope that it's done with a North American move in mind. He's at the right time to get some MLS tryouts, or if all else fails,a year in the CPL.
