Gold Cup players have not been announced yet. 6 hours ago, sose said: the preliminary roster was for Nations Leauge, gold cup roster not announced yet. You’re both right - I stand corrected.

"I'm a Croat from Canada, I love everything Croatian, and my idol is Luka Modrić . Not only as a player, but as a person, leader, leader... He has great technical and leadership capabilities. Modrić is Croatian, I am Croatian and that's normal,'' said Sigur. Why's it always in the most condescending way possible lol johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borna Sosa wasn't eligible to play for Germany because he was over 21 when he last repped Croatia in an official match. Even if he was under 21, 3 years hadn't passed since that last match. Sigur could still represent Canada after the U21 Euros. Edited May 27, 2023 by phresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod818 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 This one stings a little more because the memory of watching Canada vs Croatia in Qatar is still fresh. In addition I was sitting beside the most annoying (and racist) Croatian fans in the stadium who started jarring me the minute Canada took a 1-0 lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasi Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 If this is how he feels then should be barred from playing for us in the future shal he chose to do so. I know not everyone agrees with this. But its time that we stop being so nice with rats and snakes. Especially with ones that grew up here but feel super un-Canadian.

Soccer culture is fickle, but this is a (another) betrayal. Good bye, Sigur. Shift to Word Soccer. How do we make Canadian international soccer an exciting goal for players? Yes, the CSA has humped the puppy regarding not holding U camps and matches. What about the soccer culture though? How do we make young players yearn and dream of playing for Canada? Also, can the CSA find specific sponsors for specific events? For example, could the CSA sign up Canadian Tire or Bombardier or ?? to sponsor a U-20 camp and a couple of friendlies?

I think at the end of the day this generation’s biggest purpose is to be to influence the next one up. Sigur says he worships Modric, fine, but the kids who are 10 years old right now might worship Davies or David or so on. Apparently Koleosho’s favourite player is Davies and that’s a reason he came to our camps. More of that, and just becoming a better team is probably the only way to avoid this in the future.

VinceA Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Despite losing Sigur and Farsi potentially, at RB we still have Kobe Franklin emerging and Laryea and Johnston are still gonna be around for a while.

Balogun and Musah have both said they were overwhelmed with the support they received from fans online and that it played in a role in their decisions to switch I think for at least Balogun it came down to the fact that the marketing potential of a US star far outweighs the marketing potential of an England bit player. It’s obviously different for Farsi considering the type of player he is and the fact that Canada isn’t the US, but honestly, get him some sponsorships in Canada and that might help.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) Let's calm down everyone. 1) What else is he going to say? "I feel more Canadian than Croatian but I'm just here for the experience"? C'mon! He is saying to the media and the Croatian fans exactly what they want to hear. 2) Others have gone the European U21 route before. Think Eustáquio.

More so when many came here as refugees - an OK thing to be sure, but the apparent non- support of Canadian football is disappointing. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
