Re: Mother of all Canadian's abroad (thread) [R]

Why are you editing my posts? Why isn't a full article allowed? It is generally accepted practise to not only post an article but also the link where you got it and to also give credit to the guy you got the info from. It's only polite to quote your source.

There are three reasons to post both the article and the link. One is that links to some sites require a user/pass and people will not be able to get to the article. Also the link may not lead directly to the article (ie Sportsnet)

Two, people with slow connections appreciate having the article at hand without having to follow the link, and three it creates an historical record at this site because the urls may expire (ie Canoe)

If you want to save space, shorten the posts by people who quote an entire lengthy post and have a one line reply. Sorry for the rant but this irked me.

Re: Mother of all Canadian's abroad (thread) [R]

Why is there a time limit on editing posts? I want to be able to update the Canadians Abroad list without having to post the whole list again and wasting space.

Unless my memory is going I was able to do it before and now I can't. Have I been bad?

Graham MacLean - Paulton Rovers (Southern League Division One West) (8)
http://www.nonleaguedaily.com/teams/guidetoground.php?mode=players&team_id=3260&league_id=172

Former Canadian Youth international front-runner, Graham returned to Bath City during the close season of 2001 following a short spell at Clevedon Town and then joined Paulton Rovers in the summer of 2002.
First made an impression at City as part of the Youth set-up during the 1999/00 season where he scored over 20 goals and also made a handful of appearances for the first team during that campaign.
The Canadian-born attacker arrived in Bristol in 1999 and following a call to reserve team manager Dave Hobbs arrived at Bath. Five goals in City's 2000 pre-season matches looked set to push Graham into a regular first team place but, despite continuing this form in the early part of the season, he found further openings limited as then former manager Paul Bodin stuck with his front line partnership of Martin Paul and Graham Colbourne.
Frustrated at this disappointment he made the short switch to Clevedon Town in February 2001. However, that move didn't work out as the Bristol-based side were relegated and he jumped at the chance of moving back to City.

Re: Mother of all Canadian's abroad (thread) [R]

The local Hong Kong newspaper reported that Valencia, a visiting team from Maldives, has a Canadian defender who capped by the canadian Olympic team. Valencia will be playing aginst a local side at the AFC Cup(the Asian version of UEFA Cup). The Canadian's name was translated as "James". I do not know whether James was the first name or surname. It could be something that sounded liked James.

 

Re: Mother of all Canadian's abroad (thread)

i like the name!! but maybe because i am the mother of Marcel de Jong and i like this forum itsnice to read something about the canadian team of my son.

 

Re: Mother of all Canadian's abroad (thread)

It's always nice to hear firsthand from the family of the Canadian players. I know Paul Stalteri's wife, Julian DeGuzman's father, David Edgar and Will Johnson's mothers have also posted in the past. I am likely forgeting some others.

Just to let you know there are a few message boards for Canadian soccer. The main one is Voyageurs. I am sure they would appreciate hearing from you.

I don't think the mod will mind me posting that as he posts there and I also try to direct people here as well because of the international viewpoint this board has.

 

Giancarlo Di Sano - AC Perugia

Does anybody know of Giancarlo Di Sano of AC Perugia? The CSA has him listed for their U20 development team.

Youth Development Team To Compete in Dallas Cup

http://www.canadasoccer.com/eng/media/viewArtical.asp?Press_ID=2074

Ottawa, Ontario – The Canadian Men’s Youth (U20) Development Team left for Texas yesterday to prepare for competition in the 26th Annual Dallas Cup, which will run from March 20-27.

“The Dallas Cup is a superb tournament and we are happy to be taking part in this year’s edition,” said National Teams Manager Earl Cochrane.

“The group that we have been placed in is a difficult one but one that will provide these boys with some valuable international experience. The 1987s will definitely gain from competition as difficult as Saprissa (Costa Rica) and Paranaense (Brazil) and the experience is bound to benefit our preparations for 2007. For the handful of 86s that have been added to the squad, these games will certainly assist in their preparations for Holland, so we are extremely pleased.”

Participation in the Dallas Cup is by invitation only and teams are selected based on their competitive performance. Since 1979, players and coaches from 98 countries and six continents have ventured to the Lone Star state to battle it out on the soccer pitch, and this year’s event is no exception.

Canada’s squad consists of 18-players, aged 17-19, many of which will compete in the upcoming FIFA World Youth Championship Netherlands 2005. Notables Jaime Peters, Will Johnson and Asmir Begovic, who played an integral part in Canada’s successful qualifying campaign in Honduras early in the year, will not participate in the tournament.

The U-18 National Team will compete in the U-19 Super Group, in which they are guaranteed a minimum of three games in round robin competition, scheduled to start on March 20th.
