Fullback

I believe he's said he's equally comfortable with both feet. I feel like the RB thing came from him playing on the right in the first camp we brought him in for in Qatar

I would agree we are much deeper than we have been in the past. Not hard when our right backs of the past cycles were Edgar and Henry. At RB we have ZBG and Godinho. On the left side we have Adekugbe and Morgan (also de Jong). We also have Cordova who can play on both sides. This is much deeper than the positions have been in the past.

My guess on the keepers is that it will be three of Pantemis, St. Clair, Busti, Hasal, and Desjardins. I think at the moment St. Clair would be my starter with Pantemis as his backup. I think the keepers in Italy have potential but are not currently the best options we have to start.

I can already see it. You are going to have an absolute meltdown about the team we end up calling in. I’m sorry to say it but our team is going to look nothing like that and you should prepare yourself for that.

This rumour doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense to me. Whitecaps already have Ardaiz and Montero. I can’t imagine they would a third striker who would want a lot playing time. Doesn’t MdS prefer to play a 433 anyway? No room for all those strikers

Give me the Americans. When was the last time we played them in a competitive fixture? I think it would be fun to see how we compare and the potential for that upset would cause an absolute meltdown among their fan base. For the the other team I’d prefer one of Curaçao or Cuba. Teams we should beat imo but would still give us a good challenge.

I agree that Henry has been fine in the couple games this year. I feel like he has this reputation that he’s super penalty prone and I think it is a bit exaggerated. I feel like he’s toned down the aggressiveness since he’s been with Vancouver. Like how many penalties did he give up with TFC anyway like 2 or 3 maybe when he as 18-21. I don’t really see it as an issue. Cornelius did have an absolute shocker yesterday though. Both of the first two goals were his fault. I think he’s decent with the ball at his feet but has issues with his 1v1 defending and decision making. I think he has potential and can get better with playing time.

We are acting like Miller should obviously be there but when was his first start? Nine days ago? I’m guessing the squad had already been decided

You have to check the box declared for national team. Otherwise the game assumes the caps are friendlies

I am sorry to say it really is not. Look at the squads that qualified in 2011 and 2013. Not a lot of senior team contribution. I honestly dont think there is another country in the world that cares about U17 teams as much as we do

Yeah and I am guessing those kids were invited as the CSA is aware of at least four of them but guess what they can say no or are injured. So maybe lets relax a little bit since we do not know any of the details. Would also be absolute bush league to invite a kid just because he is someones brother

Because they might not want to. I too would like to have a better manager lead our youth teams and have better/more players at camps but WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES. So please stop acting like the sky is falling because of a U17 camp

I am going to throw it out there that most of those clubs are a much lower quality than our MLS academies. I am also going to assume that those that are at strong clubs were probably invited and declined. I agree that we should not solely rely on MLS acadmies but I do not really think a kid at club in St. Lucia belongs at a camp like this. I think what we should be annoyed at is no kids from smaller Canadian clubs.

Keep hearing the Fury are going to have a really difficult season. The whole thing was rushed, sponsors are not happy and they can’t attract enough decent players to build a roster.
