SpecialK got a reaction from Corazon in General Discussion on CMNT
Why is everyone forgetting Captain Scotty. Also there is Osorio and some young MF talent coming up like Fraser and Okello. I think Okello is going to be the Hutch. Kaye, Piette, Teibert and Chapman better step up their game because that MF is very crowded. It’s beautiful problem to have.
Canada’s mildfield depth ( in no order and I know I’m missing some)
Hutch, Arfield, Osorio, Wotherspoon, Kaye, Piette, Teibert, Chapman, Eustaquio,Fraser, Okello, Baldisimo, Choinière
Now if we can get CB Ferreira , CB Tomori, LB Gutiérrez and LB Bassong our Defence will be set!
Now it’s time for some game against some big boys! Come on CSA and Herdman get this fan base fired up !!! We want games!

Arfield is playing arguably the best footy of his career right now at Rangers. If anyone is playing in that central role right now it is him. Regardless of his age.

Hopefully he recovers well from his injury, glad to see him commit to the cause.
Tomori next?

Who hires the manager ? When was the last time Canada had a professional youth manager. It’s just been CSA bag men ! And the CSA hires them. Now it’s Herdman’s bag men!
Based on past rosters, On avg how many players who are based outside of the MLS academies get called up for youth teams ? I would say 1-3 players.
Look at past results. Our MLS based roster lost to CUBA last time !
The CSA is biased towards MLS Academy players and it’s a joke! They want Canadian players, from Canadian teams why because it’s cheap, they don’t have do any work and if they get a Diamond in the rough, they take the Credit for it. They don’t give a shit about winning ! And if you people don’t see it will that’s just sad!

Hey what a wonderful opportunity to try to get MF/ST Marcelo Flores playing at Arsenal into the Canadian fold. Do you think he’ll switch ? Mexican father and Canadian Mother .

SpecialK reacted to Keegan in 2019 CONCACAF U17 Championship
I don’t know if you realize, but it’s February 2019. Calling a u15 camp from 2/3 years ago “preparation” for a u17 tournament this year is a joke. By that logic our MNT is set for qualifying because we had a u23 camp in 2016. Do you really think nothing has changed in the last 2 years? 2 years at that age is a lifetime in soccer.
You need to keep on these things. So no, this is not the most prepared Canadian u17 team or even close to it.
There are 2 players that were eligible for our last u17 team at the time of qualifying who are now on our MNT.. neither was on a MLS academy squad. Forgive me for not wanting our squad selection to be focused on 3 teams and their internal selection policies. Here’s also a fact.. Liam Millar was released from TFC Academy, meaning he would never have a chance to make this squad.
Your last point is your most apologetic yet: “don’t blame the CSA for squad selection, they only hire the coach and he picks the team”.. come on man.
So yes, the system is broken, lazy or whatever you want to call it.
Let me reiterate: to this date, there has been ZERO preparation for a squad to compete at the u17 championship. That is a fact - visiting three academy teams and hosting an ID camp TWO YEARS AGO is not prep.
Edit: and I’m not saying what happened a few years back was bad. It’s good to evaluate at all times but that means at least quarterly not semi-annually. They should have found their core and had camps where they played matches and these kids fought for spots and the team grew.
