100% agree with LB.

Two DMs mean one can always get forward. This is the way Portland plays. Will has 5 goals playing as a "shield."

So would I. I just didn't want to contradict myself re: Piette. Teibert looks good on the wing these days.

Bit of head scratcher. Pretty sure Rochat and Rennie were at odds. Hopefully this will open the door for Adekugbe to sign.

I find DeGuzman too old, with not much left professionally. Piette is too young, and hasn't accomplished anything professionally. (He has more caps than pro games at the 4th tier). If you want two DM...

Is this squad indicative of the fact that all the best U15s are in the pro academies? Or just lazy scouting? Or something else?

I'd start these guys against Martinique:

1. Chencinski
2. Straith
3. Dejakovic
4. Henry
5. Morgan
6. Pacheco
7. Osorio
8. M.Haber

Aird seems like a leader. It looks like he was still 16 in that interview and spoke very well. Much different take on the auld firm school boy chores than Lensky. :)

I hope he comes in to the Gold...

It's been a long time since I've heard a good well analogy. I wonder, for us kids born after the 19th century, is the ability to see helpful when drawing water from a well? I picture it being quite...

That's kind of where I was going. To me it looks like many of the "organically" constructed stadiums in D2/D3. All it really needs is to close in those endzones and get rid of the turf.

Watched the game last night. Having spent a year in a temporary stadium at Empire, those stands look fairly permanent to me. What would be the impediments to using Clarke as a permanent home for FCE?...

I'm not sure he's referring mid-table Israeli clubs here. Haber is probably like every other Canadian Jewish kid, and wanted to go to Israel after finishing school. With that done, I hope he's...

+1. He'll score on his debut.

Yeah the Thiago guy that Dos Santos recommended to Rennie was on $100k and he was ****e.

I would say it's about as likely as Santos starting a super rap group with former player Tam Nsaliwa.

Agree 100%.

Carlo Basso is a clinical striker from SFU. I can see him making the jump to NASL.

Wow, Scotland really is like a Leper Colony for Gingers.

Ok.

Why does DiVaio get more points than Camilo for 2 goals in the Vs Cup?

He wins all fitness tests hands down.

Just to be clear, Russell was never fat. He's been the top conditioned Whitecap since 2010, when he was 17. The coaching staff has been asking him to up his work rate, get on the ball, switch play,...

Yeah, I was just ranking them for you. Showing that Petrescu is not as bad as some.

Geoff Gamble is by far the worst. Drew Fischer, then Gantar or Petrescu. Depends on the day.
