We've had a fair number of guys with the tools who couldn't. Apparently I am telling anyone who will listen he needs to be a striker. His biggest faults will be less obvious and he could learn to use his size better. His quick feet and pace and greed will still be useful.

rydermike Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) I guess the injuries basically eliminated any potential surprises. I think we all more or less had a consensus of 30 or so players from whom the 26 would be picked from. After Henry, Crepeau, and Kennedy went down it basically settled it for everyone. The only other players who maybe had a chance were Brym and Corbeanu (plus those who had a faint hope for Arfield), but they were always in that 23-26 range anyways.

He got on the field in the First stage games against the minnows and played at the Gold Cup (and against Uruguay) Also, Leutwiler and Gutierez got called up during the Ocho but didn't play.

Back in the day when there was basically nothing for all those players that played before , you can’t believe how many good young players I saw quit the game because after youth soccer there was nothing no stepping stones . However, now we are keeping these good players playing soccer and more of them having aspirations and that is only going to be good for our game in Canada and the national team .

Unnamed Trialist Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The only player who could legitimately feel disappointed is Corbeanu. I think he hurt himself by making himself unavailable in the January window. This was his choice, he decided not to go and focus on club. Too many here made excuses for him; I don't think Herdman thought it was irrelevant. So these could be the consequences. And I think he is perfectly aware that his refusal has now been a factor.
