Canadian Soccer Part III

[Tuggy]

Lol 3-0 US...another set piece.

 

[Tuggy]

This has been a f***ing joke.

Hex chances taking a major hit tonight.

Honduras nightmare all over again.

 

[YNWA14]

Davies at fullback is a stroke of genius. He has either been at fault, or a major part of every US goal.

 

[YNWA14]

Set pieces the story of the game. Neither team have really looked threatening from open play.

 

[Tuggy]

Well one back...

 

[YNWA14]

That was a game.

 

[Tuggy]

Need a Cuban miracle and start scheduling friendlies.

 

[Pouchkine]

Nothing new. I told you this summer at the Gold Cup and time and time again, yes we now have 2-3 really good players but the rest range from average to bad to very bad to awful (Henry) and we still have an incredible LOSER mentality. Bad coaching again nothing new, how could any sane coach still play Henry?

 

[YNWA14]

I think the biggest coaching mistake was playing Davies at leftback. It led to 3 of their 4 goals. People just point to him playing LB for Bayern without analyzing the situation, playstyle or how it would work for Canada. In each game he's played at LB (that I've seen) the other team has benefited massively. Whenever he's played up front/wing he's been a terror all game long.

Not sure how some of these coaches get where they are without being able to critically analyze the difference between playing LB for Bayern and LB for Canada.

 

[Pouchkine]

And putting him next to Henry!

It will be a long time before anyone should be confident when we play any half decent team again.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I felt that Adekugbe would develop in Norway but footage of that league is tough to come by. Is he at all an option at left back?

Group set:

Still strikes me as strange. My guess is he got some serious money in this deal.

4/4 on my predictions for awards in the CPL:
Borges takes home the U-21 player of the year and the player of the year. Wheeldon gets coach of the year, and Carducci gets GK of the year

 

[robertmac43]

Good news fort he CPL, would be cool to see more older/ former CMNT players end up in the CPL:
'I'm getting phone calls': Edgar hints CanMNT veterans eyeing CPL for 2020

Also fan awards are starting on December 2:
Canadian Premier League to Launch Fan Awards on December 2nd

 

[robertmac43]

First ever in league transfer between two teams has officially happened: Jose Hernandez makes history in Pacific-Cavalry switch

 

[robertmac43]

Well deserved for David:

 

[robertmac43]

Forge has 12 returning players for next year including all the big names. Now to see if Borges will get a national team call up this coming season!

 

[John Price]

 

[Gecklund]

Lucas Cavallini to the Vancouver Whitecaps is now official after months of rumors.

 

[robertmac43]

New format for the Canadian Championships. Personally I like the changes, hopefully someday we will not have any teams with byes in the first round. Need some more CPL teams for that!

 

[Pouchkine]

Another year, another new format! This one is a bit better though.

 

[robertmac43]

Unreal stuff from the young Canadian!

 

[robertmac43]

CMNT play Iceland in January! Should be a solid test!

 

[robertmac43]

Borges named to the CMNT. He is the fourth player to get called up from CPL!!

Exciting stuff!
