    This really underlines the need for the TFC academy - though we're looking at a 5-10 year timeframe before we see any meaningful impact from it.

    Well, I'm not Canadian and the only U-20 games I watched was a couple of US games. The name Lombardo just doesn't scream Canadian to me. Sorry for my ignorance.

    Don't worry about it. I'm sure many non-Canadians didn't realize Stalteri or Radzinski were Canadian when they first went to Europe.

    Even Radzinski himself has seemed unsure of it on a few occasions. ;)

    Well done. The only critique I have as your statement that, of the Canadians on TFC, only Brennan was a regular starter. Sutton (and the replacement keepers we used) were also Canadians who started. Well done, though.

    He's made up for it in his later years, however....

    True enough! That said, it sure is nice to see a guy who played semi-pro in the CPSL for St. Catharines Roma Wolves and North York Rockets do as well as he has done!
