Bison44 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Doesnt this all seem pretty weird?? These grammas dont have birth certificates?? Under the striped afghan in the spare bedroom there is a worthers original tin with important papers. You'll find your moms grade 4 report card, a couple bronze participaction sew on badges, yellow newspaper cuttings of all the obits of everyone from the old neighborhood and grannies original metal SIN CARD (051 345 098) and her birth certificate. kacbru, QBCS, dyslexic nam and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbacons Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Hoping the delay is just because they are waiting to introduce Holmes in the Sept. squad for the friendlies. If he's eligible and there's a chance he could play in a World Cup, why wouldn't he take it? If he's waiting for an England call-up he's likely going to be waiting forever.

Jack1997 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Finding info about citenzhip eligibility is hard but I didn’t see nothing about a 2015 law change, it seemed like there was some things that said he would be and some said he wouldn’t so I don’t really know. Maybe this wouldn’t well recived by fans and other people but don’t countries sometimes let certain athletes in even if they don’t qualify for their countrys rules then why not do that if you have to?

gigi riva Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 All that I am going to say is if he is eligible which in all honesty I am not sure and he is as decent as people are saying, Why not give him a call up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One American Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 The nice thing about the 26 man roster is you can add a guy like this without cutting a guy who was with you for qualifying. CB seems to have a number of playing time question marks right now So this seems like a good addition johnyb and costarg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB seems to have a number of playing time question marks right now So this seems like a good addition True. Henry and Vitoria in particular come to mind. Things have gotten more clear with both also. Vitoria remains in the top flight and is starting matches. Henry finally found a club (and one that's in form at that). Unfortunately he isn't playing much, which is a concern for a player who's virtually guarenteed to be selected for the World Cup Squad. It's also raised the question of whether MacNaughton (last year's CPL MVP) deserves the call more than Henry does, considering he's starting and playing every match ahead of him now. Of course, any emerging CB news is good news for Canada, which makes this a somewhat pleasing, yet odd situation. One where you don't know whether to be happy or concerned. Put me in the happy camp I guess? MacNaughton is demonstrating to be a servicable future option, while Henry probably won't play much at the World Cup anyways. I will take the bad with the good on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacbru Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Sorry, I don't see it. If MacNaughton ever plays any meaningful games for Canada, it will be a sad state of affairs. Nothing against him, but I think his ceiling doesn't match up with the level of other Can players. P-O, Sal333, sose and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacNaugton is probably maxed out as far as his ceiling goes. I think he's gotten as good as he can be. I can't see him progressing much further. I look at it in terms of where he's at now. Right now he's playing starting minutes for one of the hotter MLS teams. And he's not putting in any bad performances. If this trend continues for the rest of the season, and TFC get into the playoffs and make a run, he'll be prepped with some high intesity and high stakes games heading towards the world cup. Some would say that's better than selecting the player who's glued to the bench behind him (of course though we know Henry is going, rightfully so). You don't shake up your team for a low ceiling player who hasn't proven anything with the program, so MacNaugton isn't going. Now if this were Tom Holmes on the other hand Captaining Reading at 22 years old in the Championship is a player you'd have to bring in. Will be better than MacNaughton in present and future, surely.

Also, it's not rumour. The fact that his grandma is Canadian is just that: a fact. It's just whether or not the bureaucracy will get in the way or not.
