Kadenge Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 1 hour ago, frattinator said: - Sigur's switch to Canada started during the Biello's time in charge in Oct 2023..... - At the end, Sigur felt deep in his heart how close he was to Canada: "“How good a life Canada has given me and my family,” Sigur said when asked why he switched to Canada. “When I was in Croatia, that’s when I really realized how Canadian I was and the values and the morals I hold.” Biello doing a good job making contact with young players. LDF and Sigur. Wonder if Sigur & his dad were pissed with JH re "F Croatia". I do think our performances at Copa was a big factor and hopefully will play a part with other duals now. The last quote from Sigur when he was in Croatia and realizing how Canadian he was, is great to hear and is something I'm sure most Cdn kids born & raised here would feel. They just don't say it when they commit to other nations. If he is even a Kante light, he's going to be perfect for Marsch's style. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frattinator Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 2 minutes ago, blueseeka said: He all pooped on Biello for his coaching during the Jamaica home game and his RIP memorial for Hoillet, Borjan and Vitoria. But it is so obvious that he does a great job with all these young players. He really has been an unsung hero during this run. No doubt. In addition to Biello though I think in Sigur's case the fact that Isacco was involved in the CANMNT camp at that time was also hugely beneficial, given their prior experiences together with York University and Vaughn Azzurri. So I'm glad to see this rotation of domestic coaches in the national team setup, because who knows what kind of prior or future relationship a Mauro Eustaqiou (or others) may have with a future young, talented dual-national. blueseeka, Ivan, Sal333 and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Our Canadian men are incredible representatives for the nation. It’s amazing that seemingly every player who comes through is such a good character. Humble and mentally tough.

PastPros Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 (edited) "Tore a quad" and working back to full fitness (which we know). Assume we won't see him play for Canada anytime soon?

Kadenge Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 So mature and well spoken for a 20 yr old. Got to think he gets time vs Mexico. Anyone know if he can play on the left? If so he could be an option for LB. Would rather see him as a CM though. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume we won't see him play for Canada anytime soon? Quad tear is pretty serious, no? Completely dependent on degree of severity - Grade 1 (few muscle fibres torn) is like a 2 week recovery vs. Grade 3 (complete tear) which is like 3 months. Appears he's closer to Grade 1, since he's out there training with no apparent issues, but who knows?... ahmedou, PastPros and costarg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin Radd Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I thought he had recovered from his injury. He only missed two games and was back with his team, playing 14 minutes off the bench last weekend.

There will probably be heavy rotation for the 2nd game. I would be shocked if he does not play! costarg, ahmedou and gator 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpursFlu Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I appreciate the fact that he played for Croatia's youth team and he is technically a dual national but I would like for the media to stop emphasizing the dual national thing. After hearing the kids story.. played all his youth soccer in Canada, grandparents came to Canada nearly 70 years ago, doesn't speak Croatian, all the Croatian guys were giving him a hard time during the World Cup. I'm pretty sure every single player on Canada and in our youth system and basically everyone in Canada is technically a dual national Sal333, Xavier., ahmedou and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
