Another goal!

Full 90 today in a big 2-1 win for Pacos over VSC. That puts them 6 points ahead in 5th spot. A+ Eustaquio game. Running all over, making outlet passes, longballs, through balls into the box... really fun to watch. He got MOTM on the broadcast and a 7.4 rating on sofascore

It should be noted that with his 13th league goal for the season Larin surpasses Josh Simpson for the highest number of goals in the Super Lig by a Canadian in a single season. He also ties Simpson's career total of 18. Edit: The 18 league goals by Simpson/Larin isn't the highest career total by a Canadian. Hutch has 21 ... and counting.

Lucas Dias (Sporting) is on the list

Another MOTM for Eustaquio.

His dad was a MF too, and I'm not talking about the soccer position.

Any relation to Georges? We can only hope.

Eustaquio is the player I'm most looking forward to seeing with the CMNT. He doesn't strike me as the type who'll break if playing down in front of a hostile and rowdy Central American crowd. Big game player.

It’s not BS to call him out for actively undermining the league. He publicly belittled the quality of CPL players (by saying that Bekker was the only guy who would make the Fury team at a time when CPL teams had signed a lot of decent Canadians) and was known to be one of the most active agents in lobbying against Fury joining CPL. For people who were very invested (emotionally, financially, etc) in the success of the league, those aren’t minor opinions that we can dismiss or debate - they were toxic attitudes against our emerging national soccer league. He was a good player and

Eustaquio seems to bring it for the big games. A good attribute for the CMNT. Looking forward to seeing him in red & white....

Here’s the 20 man list I came up with: Goalies: St Clair, Breza, Hasal Full backs: Bassong, ZBG, Gutierrez CBs: Cornelius, Sturing, Dunn CMs: Baldisimo, Fraser, Okello, H.Paton Wingers: Nelson, Buchanan, Corbeanu, Tabla Forward/CAM: Bair, Brym, Dias it’s tough to pick a 20 man squad, deciding what positions we have to leave a little thin or what talented player we have to leave out. In this case I tried to make sure all of our strongest players are present. It sucks having to leave the likes of Rutty, Priso or Farsi off

Removed from the 2020 Preliminary Roster: Boakye, Borges, Boskovic, M. Choiniere, Kinumbe, Kouzine, Legault, Millar, Miller, Mohammed, Zanatta, Le Bourhis. Added to 2021 Preliminary Roster: Corbeneau, M. Baldisimo, D. Choiniere, Marshall-Rutty, Curcija, Dias, C. Gutierrez, B. Paton, C. N'Sa, Priso, S. Simpson, Farsi.

Akinola is not on the US roster by the way...

its not just that. Just the way he carries and asserts himself on the field, and the fact he was able to overcome such an injury and come back from it stronger than before says A LOT about his character. I honestly view him as a Canadian version of an in prime Michael Bradley, the guy also has an engine. We focus on guys like Davies, Davies, Millar, i.e. the flashy players, but I believe Eustaquio's injection into the line up is the one that would provide the biggest boost in quality and structure in midfield, providing a sort of "connective tissue" and outlet. I honestly love watching him pla

Really thoughtful answers fellas. I appreciate it. With regards to negative PR, only nerds like us know about it. I think the league would be in peril due to lack of revenues and I can't see how there are fans in the stands this year either. If the league can navigate this next year without folding, I believe the league will be permanent and grow. There is far too much untapped summer revenue for pro sports in Canada. I think it will all work out to be honest. Yes, we should absolutely let things go back to normal to judge the league. I think the CPL done an outstanding job frankly.

I think this gets said every year about the crop coming through. I'm hopeful that Marshall-Rutty turns into something special, but I think there are even odds on the rest. I do not have @Dominic94's boundless optimism that Nelsen, Priso, Okello etc. will be sold for big dollar figures to top teams overseas. If they turn out to be Osorios, that's great. I've just witnessed far too many Alemans, Aparicios and Petrassos to get too far ahead of myself.

The floodgates are about to burst open. Dos Santos said nothing had changed and we got lucky, but the talk around MLS is that our academies produce some serious talents. Rollins said that when Roma came over for youth tourneys they were impressed by the raw talent, that’s a nice compliment. TFC and CF are full of young players, VWFC isn’t empty and those academy centers will bear fruit. Add in the Can PL, Athletico who believe me will find a player or 5, the Sigmas boys and the Belgium connections, and now Bayern is going to look for another Davies. it’s going to keep happening, we’

nooope, he's clubless and formless, therefore IMO should not even be considered for a call up.

i turned that off after 2 mins, it was hard to watch.

Here's a nice quote from his coach: "Stephen [Eustáquio] is the extension of the coach on the field. For what he plays and, above all, the intelligence he has, he is a monster on the field and that is gratifying for all of us."

Worth mentioning that he had an assist on the winning goal over Celtic. I think he should be on the Olympic squad if we qualify - otherwise, I'd like to see him on the Gold Cup Squad

Thanks for the link! Getting our news from the press in Central America or the Caribbean has been the modus operandi of #CanMNT fans for years!

Sounds like the match v. Cayman Islands will most likely be in Florida. So I'm guessing we play both matches there. https://www.caymancompass.com/2021/02/19/world-cup-qualifiers-still-on-for-cayman/

Kennedy starts at CB for Jahn Regensburg today. Game starts at 12:30 ET.

Herdman by the way looked concerned, and he should be. He's been robbed of a chance to adequately prepare this team. I feel bad for him.

Yeah this is a huge year for the CMNT. I don't think this year's winner will necessarily be the best club player, it's going to come down to performance with Canada.

Need to score some important WCQ goals too to cement it.

If Larin continues this form and Besiktas win a trophy, and Davies and David fail to win trophies, I think he's a serious contender for Canadian player of the year. Obviously a lot has to happen, and there's a long way to go, but it's shaping up to be a 3-horse race instead of a 2-horse race, which is refreshing.

I say let him be an optimistic cheerleader for our future prospects. Too many of us have had that optimism beaten out of us.

Sorry, rarely come on here. I know the family/entourage.

LOL no he isnt.

In hindsight, it might be better to play them first . By the time we play them, they'll have a lot of familiarity.

FFS on the start time. Plus One Soccer is so damn cheap you still can pause or rewind live streams so we will have to either come into the olympic game late or leave the Bermuda game early. Although I think I have been able to watch one soccer on two different devices at the same time before? So... Cavallini up top then?

Is it just me, or does "we believe" sound like "we assume he is being honest and not just dodging us because he is less than committed"?

Just to make it very visually clear for all those who are curious, the 50-man provisional squad has had 12 changes: The new names for 2021: Michael Baldisimo David Choinière Theo Corbeanu Nikola Curcija Mohamed Farsi Lucas Dias Cristián Gutiérrez Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty Chrisnovic N'sa Ben Paton Ralph Priso Steven Simpson Those who made it in 2020 but got cut for 2021: Robert Boskovic Yohan Le Bourhis Kamal Miller Gabriel Boakye Daniel Kinumbe Émile Legault Terique Mohammed Tristan Borges Mathieu Choinière Aramis Kouzine Liam Millar Dario

It's speaking it into existence. We'll revisit this in two weeks 🤣

50 player roster. Too much for my ADHD to handle. Am I crazy but are a bunch of clubs listed wrong? Bassong and Dunn come to mind.

Pretty disrespectful to our former Captain, and most capped player. But I won’t call you any names for it. When you talk about all time greats in Canadian football - Julian De Guzman will and always should be mentioned.

Turkey Larin gave Besiktas an early lead against Denzilspor Larin went 90, Hutchinson 83 in a 3-0 win. Besiktas are in second place, level on points with Galatasaray.

I was living in the UK at that time and I remember my roommate messaging me saying he had just watched QPR and asking me about this Canadian kid and raving about how class he looked. Let's also remember that Petrasso had 38 appearances for League One clubs as a teenager and was a stud for them. So he was 2-3 years younger than Millar is currently and doing the same thing.

yes, but I think Millar is more a case of staying put at Charlton.
