Can't find much other than the original CSA press release.

"The camp will feature a pair of youth international matches against Costa Rica on the mornings of 15 and 21 April."

So we have a 4 hour window! I feel like 10.30 was reported somewhere. Your best bet is following twitter and searching for Canada u20 or similar.

11:00 am local time (1:00 EST). Based on Instagram stories.

As said before @orange_viens on Instagram posts photos and videos of the game. That's it.

The match started. That is literally all the info I can find.

SACK THE CSA!!!111!!11?>!

[narduch]

Costa Rica leads 1-0 at the half.

 

[toontownman]

Olivieri clearly in charge for that half while Biello takes a rest...😉

[Bison44]

Whar a shit show, is this not on the CDN twitter feed at least??

[Xavier.]

Again, tired of being okay with the bare minimum from the CSA. We have gotten no start time, no lineups, no score updates, literally nothing. It sucks as a fan, and it hurts the players.

[Bison44]

If only we had some sort of highly organized, super detail oriented modern information driven guy in charge of everything.  Maybe he could get the info passed on to someone that would update the CSA twitter feed at least.  What do duals think of this when we cant even get an online announcement about an u-20 tune up game??  THe U-20's are important, the f#cking olympics are important.

With all the public spotlight and coverage finally happening, the CSA just mixed up the words capitalise with capitulate. Comma mistake. 

[JamesF]

They still haven't updated the u20 team on the canadasoccer website too, still the players from 2018 cycle

Didn't the exact thing happen to France in WWII? 😛

Okay let's begin....

From these pictures below, I know Campagna, Crawford, Catavolo, Habibullah, Henry and Smith all played, with Smith captaining the squad.

 

 

 

 

 

[toontownman]

So essentially what we have learned for June...

"Whatever you did in match one... do that."

"Whatever just happened today.. don't do that."

Coaching 101. You're welcome.

Bare bones

Starting XI was similar to first match am told:

Anchor, ?, Campagna, Cloutier, Crawford, Smith, Henry, Catavolo, Costa, Wright, Habibullah

 

I'd be very interested to see how this XI looks when you add in guys like Kosi Thompson at RB, JMR at RW.  Smith can play at CB as well which is a nice option, Rida as an option in Midfield, possibly guys like Assi coming off the bench adding pure pace/directness.  The squad has a quality 14-15 players that can compete with US/Mexico IMO.

Number 3 behind Catavolo is Poku

F$cking lazy.  One of the assistant coaches could have texted the lineup to CSA, some clerical staff there tweets it out.  What 5min of work??  Do they want people interested in this team and the youth sides??  Does anyone understand this is how you get duals and people interested...top to bottom in canadian soccer??  

[VinceA]

 He's so disingeneous.

It actually involves snapping a pic of the game sheet with your phone and forwarding it as an attachment.  It would literally take 10 seconds to get it to the media people at CSA.

What’s disingenuous about that post?

[Matro25]

Can someone tell us why CSA deemed it unnecessary to put in a little more effort into showcasing these friendlies? What negatives would they get out of showing lineups, videos, more pictures, etc.

Even just a report with proper box scores. A few pics. Etc

The only thing I can think of is maybe they don't want other U20 coaching staff getting any scouting reports on us for the summer, and probably explains the lack of media coverage from the Costa Rican side.
