If I was a ref, I think I would make the parents back up before the game starts, and make sure they know that the ball could hit them while it is still in play. But I feel like as a dad just there to watch if I took on that responsibility I would just come across as a pedantic jerk.

I'd back you up.

The CSA also announced matches will be broadcast on TSN and RDS

Is it strange that all 3 keepers are from TFC? Like how would you know these are the 3 best keepers at this age group if they are all competing for time? Seems odd to me.

I feel exactly the same, I'd end up ranting at the idiots who'd look at me like I was an idiot, until they went back to their "boot it up" sideline coaching.

I am not the most famaliar with these players , All I want is to see is Canada  try to do its best  maybe surprise someone in  the process , Hopefully withthis experience this will help some our players confidence to go to the next level

That is cool.  Glad to hear they are showing some level of interest.

Our Spain opener goes at 7am Eastern, others will be even earlier; those times made it easier for TSN to pick them up.

Klukowski? I have to assume a relation to the greatest lb in Canadian history?

Yes, his son.

My predicted XI for Spain:

Abraham
Rigopoulos, Omeze, Stefanovic, Chukwu, DeMontigny

Curious to see how your 11 might change depending on how we lineup against Argentina this Sunday (and the result).

[Footyeh]

I think the first 9 names are set in stone, I have no idea of which combination of Strikers they will go with.

I am surprised he was dropped from the side.  He played a lot of minutes in the qualifiers and scored a couple I believe.  Looked a crafty striker.  That being said, I thought striker was one of the weakest areas of the side and it seems there have been wholesale changes there since qualifying

Seeing on Twitter he's hurt apparently.

VS Argentina,

If you scroll through the AFA's twitter photos it looks like Kevaughn Tavernier started for us.

Londono also saw some minutes.

EDIT:

Can someone who knows the player pool better than I do go to the Instagram account called "orange_veins" and open their stories? We see the starting XI walk out but it's too fast for me and I don't know some of the players' faces well enough. Can someone oblige us and write down the XI with a formation?

Thanks 😊

On that "orange_veins" account we also see that Biello was captain and the video of the far from superp Klukowski penalty.

This feels like a pretty good result? Should have tied against a top country, gotta put those penalties away. And might not have been a 100% Argentina squad (rotation or experimenting) but this still seems far from a poor result. 

[Dominic94]

If we have a good showing some of these kids will gain euro interest as a result, very excited about that.

Props to the comms team at Canada Soccer for being unable to even retweet anything on their feed so far.

 

Top work, lads.

BTW that would be "@Paulosenra" on twitter (or X), but I'll give him a break because they are understaffed and it is a Sunday.

Must be nice to choose your work hrs especially if you're in communications.

Argentina u17 players with the full sleeve tattoos. Impressive.

And they wonder why the general public doesn't care? They don't show enough care themselves.
