WCQ: Third Round - Window 3 (November 12-16, 2021)

[apbsmith]

Imagine it's a starting CB in a top flight league. 

I regress from wanting a striker or attacking mid. 

Top flight CB unknown to us would be unreal.

Or that other kid that posted on here for a hot second before choosing Norther Ireland.  What was his name?  Played for Ipswich?

Caolan Lavery. He's playing in League 2 now so I hope not.

Just saw that Tomori was not called for the Three Lions.

Their last official matches in qualifying, before the WC, unless they go to the playoffs. So that is pretty damning for Tomori, considering the call up is important.

England are not yet qualified, they play Albania and San Marino, so that is three points but if they don't get six and Poland do they go to the playoffs in the spring.

But I hear some people said Tomori in the reply to Wheeler, so what gives.

Even if Wheeler had not been given the Tomori tip, if I were the guy, after this snub, I'd jump ship for Canada for sure.

I thought Tomori was gone now that he played for England again this year?

Sebastian Breza is another option. Eligible for Norway, who can be said to be a good national team and also looking at their roster it's realistic that he would be called.

Seems like Gloire Amanda. Doesn’t fit the “very good country” part though…. Tanzania is 130th…. Tied for 1st in their group…. Not sure on CAF qualifying works other then they get 5 slots I believe.
 

Maybe just embellishment from Wheeler about the very good country part. 

2nd round CAF is 10 groups of 4 teams, with the group winners making the final round, which is a home-and-away. That's where the 5 spots come from.

Right now Tanzania are in a good position to advance, I think they wrap up the round this window.

I think there are better Norwegian keepers than Breza.  And he would only be our third keeper (at best).

Kind of goes against the whole "he's wanted by another nation for WCQ" thing.

Plus he's not eligible afaik

Breza was on the Olympic team. So not really a player outside our system

There are but that doesn't mean they wouldn't call him as a 3rd option. The 3 keepers they've called are all over 30 so why wouldn't they want a young keeper to be 3rd?

I'm just not that convinced of him.  Big unit but still not convinced of his abilities yet.

I hope this is a pleasant surprise, or I’m going to have to get cancel culture on Wheeler real quick lol.

Camacho has quietly become a citizen?? Filing papers as we speak??

The player would be playing this window which Tomori cannot. Earliest was late next year but now he has another cap so does that get pushed another 3 years?

He’s a a dual with France IIRC. No way he’s even close to contention for appearing in a WCQ for them

[Infernal]

Can't focus on my assignment I keep refreshing the page!

[Dominic94]

Tomori wanted England fringes, he got what he deserved.

[OhCanadaOhBaby]

Someone should ban the word "Tomori" on this thread. LET IT GO! He will never play for Canada I can assure you.

[Bison44]

Wheeler has given us incorrect hints.....if we really havnt mentioned him or wont guess him we have to think outside the box.

Stay off Twitter. The amount of replies that had him in it.....

[Dominic94]

Isn’t there a Finnish Canadian ?

[Alex]

Imagine if there’s a CB that we don’t know about?

Pretty sure that Holmes is captied to England.

Did Ryan Gauld meet a girl in Vancouver, get hitched and obtained citizenship over his past few months playing for the Whitecaps??? I would love for him to join the national team.

Hakkinen. He's a CB but he's playing in the Irish first division, don't think he's anything special.
