VinceA Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 17 year old Striker who recently signed with Brazil giants Palmeiras. https://www.lance.com.br/palmeiras/contrata-atacante-com-passagem-pelo-futebol-canadense.html This article states that he developed with Faly Acadmy in Vancouver (I've never heard of them before) and was with Juazeiro FC before signing with Palmeiras. He's officially a member of their U-17 side and is recovering from a minor shoulder injury. I can't find much on Juazeiro FC. They are either actually Juazeiro Social Clube from Bahia or some random amateur looking club that has a little less than a hundred and fifty followers on Instagram. Interesting prospect playing in Brazil. Shway, toontownman, narduch and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 The Faly Academy article says something about him playing on a travel team in France (that I think was actually the youth system of FC Metz?). https://falyacademy.com/tiago-coimbra-signs-contract-with-sociedade-esportiva-palmeiras/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 That first article you posted Vince doesn't say he is actually Canadian. It says he lived in the US & Canada from 9 to 16 years old and has a "backround in Canadian football". A name to follow but more questions must be asked.

Reading the article it says he's played for Faly for the past 4 years. To me it seems he's off to play in Brazil but ill assume his family is staying in Vancouver which would continue his connection with Canada. Thats a big jump.. I would compare it to like a 17 yr old signing with Club America or even Boca Juniors. Good for him I dont know much about Faly Academy but I heard that their first season in VMSL u21 they kinda ran away with things. I thought I also read theyre trying to be involved in the BC1 league. I stand to be corrected on that one Edited June 23, 2021 by SpursFlu NVsoccer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean come on let's be honest here. Again, I hope you are joking? I am not trying to be rude, but this take is hard to take serious. 17 year olds quite regularly play for the senior squads in the Campeonato Brasil Serie A and their State Leagues. Tiago is likely very very far from that. Superstar attackers like Rodrygo & Vinicius go to Europe around his age or soon after. Those two Real Madrid superstars have a combined 4 caps for Brazil. That is how difficult it is to break into the Brazilian squad. People have been talking about Gabriel Veron from Palmeiras for years now as a future star for Brazil. He plays the same position and is the same age as Tiago but with nearly 40 appearances for the Palmeiras senior team already. And he has never even been close to being called for the Brazil senior team.

A Palmeiras supporter was telling me he recently scored 2 goals for the U17 team and there is a buzz around him. What more is they refer to him as just "Canada". As most people know in Brazil your nickname becomes your name. So yes, we might have a player named... Canada. In this article he's referred to as Canada Here is scoring some goals.

They've even managed to earn a spot through BC Soccer in the traditional youth pyramids, unheard of before.

VinceA Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 One thing to note, is if the CSA calls him up he probably comes. Brazil generally encourages their players to play international soccer as it is a source of prestige. When the USA called up Johnny Cardoso for Olympic Qualifiers apparently Internacional were very excited and encouraged him to go.

Atlantic Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I thought I remember the Northern Futbol Podcast saying that he had moved up from Palmeiras U17 to the U19s but there is no information I can find that shows him playing for the U19s now.

At least from a results perspective over the last couple years, they've been very successful. It also seems to me its more from a player development perspective than just say Flamengo or Atletico Mineiro who have went out and bought big names Edited April 7, 2022 by SpursFlu aredding77, Corazon, johnyb and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinceA Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 Can say I didn't see this coming. But I also feel he could very much Osaze the league and eventually move up. Dominic94, MCa, dyslexic nam and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Will be interesting to see what kind of impact this guy will have in CPL.

Bigandy Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I have to say that I am sad to see this. I dont know much about the player and this could be great for his development, but i had hoped he would break through at palmeras and become a star. Starting for halifax is not the same as starting for palmeiras Corazon, Jack1997, Shway and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting for halifax is not the same as starting for palmeiras It's easy to say that but he's entering an age where he needs to start playing pro minutes. There was nothing to indicate he was close to the first team. It would be worse if he had waited until he was 22, left and started playing in the state leagues which is what happens to most older academy graduates in Brazil.

PiedPilko Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 If he's good, we'll see it in CPL. Don't we want big talent in our domestic league? And honestly, we don't know anything about this kid other than he looked decent for our u20's, and that he was stuck between youth teams at a massive academy. We're giving him a shot to play pro way before them. I don't think your potential magically disappears because you come to Canada lol Stryker911, Kusch to the Corner, Atlantic and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 He had just two appearances for the U20 side this season. Palmeiras is a hard academy to make it through, only the extremely talented 18 year olds make it to the first team and in a couple years time they’re off to a top 5 European league. I like this move for him, we will able to see his skill level on a constant basis at the pro level. Could be a financially impressive move a few years down the line for Halifax.
