Stoppage Time Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 23 minutes ago, gator said: How did we ever take 4 of 6 points against this formidable midfield?😀 I do agree they have more to choose from at the present time but I am confident our depth will strengthen with more opportunities for young players! And, Morris is one of those young players. The USMNT will always have more depth due to its population being 10 X that of Canada. It will always be harder for an American to make US team given that the USA has many more players always knocking at the door. I agree, Gator, that opportunities for young players are very important. king1010, gator, Northvansteve and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkOffPunch Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 2 hours ago, frmr said: I think the USMNT has a fair bit more depth at midfield than us, so Morris certainly has a better chance of seeing more playing time with us than them. How much more is debatable. Bolded sentence is completely irrelevant however. The US has more depth at the 8/10. 6 is pretty thin. I mean for gods sake we took Acosta to the World Cup.

I have never (knowingly) watched this guy play. That being said, it's the word "guaranteed" that was thrown around that I object to. It wouldn't necessarily take 3-4 Eustaquio's in 11 years time for him to not be a guaranteed contributor on the team. He could regress like Tabla did after he committed to us (he had a high floor at the time too... which he hasn't been able to achieve since), or he could have injuries hamper him like Ricardo Ferreira, or as you are alluding to, he could have the level of the team outgrow him like what seems to be happening with Sam Piette (although to be fair, he is almost at the 11 year anniversary of his first cap... but he wasn't guaranteed playing time in the World Cup last year). If this Morris guy commits to Canada all it guarantees him is the opportunity to earn further caps. grigorio, The Real Marc, Ivan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One American Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 A good game on Whoscored gets you a 7 or above. This year Morris has 4 games above an 8, including one above a 9. He could come back down to Earth. But he's had a phenomenal half year. Corazon, Admiral Murray, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Chuck Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 A good relationship with Anthony Hudson seemed to be one of the main things keeping Morris in the USMNT program up until now. Hudson is the guy who was able to recruit Balogun and others. Things shift a little bit more in Canada's favor with the US coaching carousel.

The list today is just a training roster. https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2023/06/callaghan-selects-24-player-biosteel-usmnt-training-camp-roster-ahead-of-concacaf-nations-league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Chuck Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Tyler Adams is out injured and Morris still didn't make it anyway because of Johnny Cardoso, who is the same age as Morris. Cardoso is pretty highly regarded by the US. He spent essentially his whole life in Brazil and Brazil wanted him for their U20s in 2020-21 but the USMNT were willing to fast-track him. Got his first senior cap well before Morris. Edited June 1, 2023 by Canadian Chuck Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Â Callahan's response to the Aidan Morris question was interesting. He sort of dodged the question about where Aidan's head is at. narduch, NVsoccer, blueseeka and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sort of dodged the question about where Aidan's head is at. If I'm him, I'm thinking Canada makes me a regular for the next decade alongside players like Kone, Davies and David. With the U.S there's no guarantee of ever making the squad, and their pool gets deeper every day. Given he's a born and raised American, obviously his preference would be the U.S but I think he's seriously considering that the U.S isn't the best move for him. solsous, Jack1997, Obinna and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
