Or was that just for the friendlies against France 🇫🇷 and Netherlands 🇳🇱? If that is the case and cuts have been made, then I wonder if they make the final squad announcement tomorrow or on deadline day on the 15th? Roster drop Saturday, which seems silly since they are dropping updates and had to submit it officially yesterday TGAA_Star and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's about maximized his talents/career and at his peak he was a solid/great MLS player. What's there to be mad about? Osorio was one of our best players during a time our team sucked and now he’s less good and we’re way better. To a lot of people he probably represents “the old Canada” and they don’t like it.

red card Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 1 hour ago, DrunkOffPunch said: You clearly didn’t watch the game. Alisson easily had the biggest save of the game. Most of Brazils chances were pretty tame. A draw was the most fair outcome. Turner had the most saves for a US keeper since Howard vs Belgium in 2014 World Cup. Brazil xG was 1.63 while USA was 0.96. 61% possession for Brazil. Brazil led 9-0 in corners, had 213 more passes and led in big chances 4-2.

Watchmen Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) 2 hours ago, Gian-Luca said: For Whitecaps fans, how much right or left back has Ahmed actually played? The roster switches they have done were fairly predictable (in fact, most did predict that these changes would be made), but I am not sure that, for the last cut, Luc DF will stay over Hiebert unless it is felt that Ahmed can provide adequate cover at FB. Even then, I can see the reason why Luc DF would not be mentioned to be flying to Europe with Brym & Zator because if they are sending him to the U20 qualifiers, they aren't being held in Europe Not much. He initially cracked the team in a bit of a LB role, but was quickly moved up field. I don't think LB is the role they'd be calling him in for, though if they're going with more of a LWB it might work. Honestly, I would not want him in a defensive role right now. He simply hasn't been sharp enough in that area. If they're chasing the game late, I could see them bringing him on. But if they're ahead and/or trying to hold the score as is, I wouldn't want him on the pitch right now.

Turner wasn’t standing on his head making saves. Yes, Brazil took a lot of shots. The quality of shots matters though. The US created the better chances, especially in the second half. 1.63 is not a high xG off 25 shots. If I could find the xGot i guarantee you it would be very even. I don’t care about possession. Flip the flags and throw El Salvador or Panama in there I’ve seen that game plenty of times. Well the US had 3 over a 7. That doesn’t really matter though I’d like you to find 1 Brazilian that thinks Vini was worthy of his rating. Endrick showed more in his 25 minutes than Vini did in 90.  Edit- ESPN?

He’s just not an exciting player to follow. Won’t ever go to Europe, won’t get any better, we have better midfielders, it is what it is. He will have a spot on this team for the foreseeable future, as he should, and he should be honoured as one of our national program's greats when he retired. Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Surely one of Bair/Tani/JRR won't make it? With no Sam and Zator going we are a little weak on the backline.

Kadenge Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 You just know Oso is itching to get on the field vs the 3 South American teams. He's always been strong vs Mexico or Mexican teams in CCL for TFC. I'm sure when he comes on as a sub he's going to bring it.

Unnamed Trialist Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 3 hours ago, InglewoodJack said: Ahmed & JRR for Zator and Brym.  Full roster dropping on Saturday. Also, like many, think this is fine. I am not saying there is anything huge happening, and they may not even play, but it seems fairer. Now we only need to discard one more, as Tani coming in made it 27. I suspect they'll drop Tani, keep JRR, change the third keeper, and nothing more.

And never to be played on he LB, plus Miller can play there as well. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
