VinceA Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 I do wonder how the player pool feels about Olivieri. Gale was horrednous for us at tournaments but he was great at recruitment and many of the U20s under his care adore him as a coach. toontownman and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing Bilbo was able to get such good results with the women's national team, considering there isn't a single female character anywhere in The Hobbit.

Shway Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Has there been any news for the rescheduled March camp? As exciting as these times are in regards to the senior team, it will be very key to maintain the progress past Qatar. What I don't want to see if us have all this momentum at the senior level, and our youth programs look the damn same. We have a lot more kids playing all over the place, and there should be several (at least 2) camps so they can be properly identified. Before a list of 23 random players are slapped together from TFC, Montreal, and the Caps coached by the dilllusionist. toontownman, Corazon, Stryker911 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve listened to a few podcasts that Bontis was on recently and he has continually brought up that it’s important that we get our youth programs going again. They supposedly just approved a new budget for the youth programs and are making it a priority. We’ll see what that actually amounts to in reality, but it’s nice to hear that they’re actually trying to put something together.

Like my Uncle B always told me "we need action, and not a bag of mouth". So heres hoping that something comes of it. They need to get creative and move fast. If it were up to me, I would have a domestic camp, play against a CPL team, while also having a European camp scheduled against another team. If they aren't official FIFA youth tournaments, I would even include some overaged guys who missed their opportunity but could still be a future prospect like Colyn, Priso and Pacius. There should at least be 2 camps before a final camp. 2023 will have U-20 WCQ, Gold Cup, and hopefully Nations League Finals.

Sounds like they're going to a tournament in March. How I wish we'd play in friendly tournaments. Just having a camp isn't enough these guys needs in game reps. Otherwise the first time they face actual opposition will be at the tournament itself in the summer. toontownman, Kadenge, Shway and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
