I doubt that they don't know about him. People at the CSA check this board and if they think that a guy who can play for Canada has a chance. Now, did they know he existed before someone posted something here? That's a good question.

Toje mentioned this to me, then forgot to post it here. Or was going to get to it. Or maybe left it to me:
Chaim Roserie has signed for Alcoyano in Spanish 2B, third tier:
http://www.diarioinformacion.com/deportes/2018/01/27/alcoyano-ficha-interior-zurdo-chaim/1982228.html
Roserie is a short 19 year old playing attacking mid, who was playing for Jacksonville Armada last season, while studying.
Actually the Alcoyano division includes teams from where I am, though they don't visit near Barcelona until April. A very strong team who have been close to getting promoted to Spanish 2A, well run club and good fan base. And a simple, decent stadium. Nice place for the kid to go.

If you use Ottawa as an example, 90% of people who attend have no idea what the level is.

Nikolas Kras has signed with Avezzano in the Italian 4th tier. He was previously playing in the 5th tier, so a little step up for him.

johnyb reacted to An Observer in NEW Mother of all Canucks Abroad (and domestic)
This reminds of a party I was at years ago in the UK in London where I met a few Italians and they asked me where I was from...and I said near Toronto but probably pronounced it more like Toranna. And they asked me what it was like there...and I said it was very nice, clean, some cool bits, etc. And they kept saying they had heard very bad things about it...finally after a few minutes back and forth, I realized they thought I was talking about Tirana, Albania! I learned my lesson after that to always pronounced the final T in Toronto when I was in Europe. :-)
Btw, been to Taranto...not a bad little town...the whole region of Puglia is probably my favourite part of Italy.

johnyb got a reaction from jpg75 in NEW Mother of all Canucks Abroad (and domestic)
Great find if its actually Toronto. Listening to the interview it could be Taranto which is in southern Italy. Another hint is the second middle name of Matthew, shows some kind of connection with English. If the family had no English language background they would have almost certainly used Matteo instead.

Keep your head up brother. Don't be hard on yourself, crap happens. Good things come to those who are patient. You'll make your mark and find some stability soon, I'm sure. How long are you out for and are you staying in Denmark?
