toontownman Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Was a bit surprised Arfifa got on the provisional squad ahead of him and Vilsaint tbh. Interested to see what both do this year!

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) The defenders were so slow to close him down but that shot is quality. Edited March 3 by Olympique_de_Marseille An Observer, Bison44 and Shway 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one week into the new season in highlights and all I see are teams not closing down, exposed wide and top of the box, getting stupidly stripped, poorly positioned defending.... it's an endemic problem in MLS and for me takes away a lot from it's entertainment value. Did I mention bad keeping? Edited March 3 by Unnamed Trialist sebdeserio, Shway and Olympique_de_Marseille 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoccMan Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) So how many Canadians scored so far this week in various leagues across the world ? I think 5 or 6 that I know of , but that one has to be up there with the goal of the week or close to it by a Canadian this week . However , a pretty good week for Canadian players when it comes to scoring . Edited March 3 by SoccMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narduch Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 One of the 4 finalists for MLS Goal of the week. Also got a Topps Now card Kadenge, Corazon and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC_Hali Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 He’s flying way under the radar IMO. I mentioned it before but this guy has elite athleticism and is proving to be a goal scorer. Very promising. Corazon, Dominic94 and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I have to admit - of all the young prospect guys, he is probably the one I know least about. Don’t think I have seen a second of him on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 There actually is a ton of vid on him, USL-C highlights and lots of interviews. He sounds like a very mature, humble and grounded individual. What a great time to be a Canada fan, so many youngsters knocking on that door looking to step up for 26.

Mbongue 8. KSB 9. Pascius 10. Akinola.... Ish edit: 11. JRR I feel like its been difficult to get a proper feel for a few of these guys.

It's great for Tani but let's curb the enthusiasm a little. He'll be 24 in May. Do you know how old David is? He turned 24 in January. If you're looking at it from the point of view that there are many Canucks making a living at pro ball then it's great. However, if you're looking at it as future stars for the national team, it doesn't look as great.

However, if you're looking at it as future stars for the national team, it doesn't look as great. Im not sure why you're trying to curb the enthusiasm. We have 10 players who are strikers around mls and all young. David and Tani are young at 24 and tani is an older one on the list. The point isnt that we have 10 future stars. Its that theres 10 young strikers at the mls level. When have we ever had something like this before? We all know that david, cav, brym, larin, bair, ugbo are all higher on the list with many more young guys like michel or lopez around. The liklihood more than 1 of the 10 makes the national team in any meaningful way is slim but theres no need to act like im saying they are stars just so you can put them down. unnecessary negativity imo.

dyslexic nam Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 For reference, Ayo is also 24 so I don't consider him a prospect anymore. He is a guy that needs to be taking that next step into mid-career consistency. PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All near the verge of becoming mid career consistency within a couple years. 21-24 is still young in their careers. Lots of these guys are in their first to second pro seasons. If a guy like tani or ayo take this year to get sporadic starts and then next year become starters, thats a huge success imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
