I think St. Clair may be the front runner to be Borjan's replacement now. He's really come into his own in Minnesota. Tajon Buchanan looks to be doing the same in New England, and Alistair Johnston in Nashville so I'd like to see them get a call up as well.

Akinola? Meh, he was never going to play for Canada. And given the emergence of Jonathan David, re-emergence of Cyle Larin, and Lucas Cavallini and Tesho Akindele still in the fold he's not really a big loss.

What's happened to Busti? Has he fallen off the map?

Thats probably putting it mildly, he went from juve u23 to serie d and he doesn't even own the starting job there.

Probably not as bad as Stillo for those who remember him who went from playing series b with Perugia to basically out of the game in a year or two.

St. Clair could solve the position for a decade, he looks legit. They add a centre back or two and get a centre mid upgrade and will easily be the best cmnt of last 30 years.

Akinola isn't a huge loss right now but he is frustrating because he has no ties to the us at all aside from brief period of residency after birth before he came to Canada, grew up here and was completely developed by Canadian teams. Bit of a spit in the face moment but understand he is not 100% decided and can still switch.

Totally agree, but I will get mildly annoyed at everyone that snubs their home country.

Years ago, it would have hurt a bit as we'd be unnecessarily hyping him. Now it doesn't make a difference at all.

Canadian International Liam Millar moved to Charlton Athletic in League 1 England on loan earlier this week from Liverpool. Gets the start in his first game today. Really excited to have a Canadian playing for my team, hopefully he makes an impact and helps us get promoted.

For anyone interested, the game is on DAZN today at 12:45.

Not sure where to put this, but . . . . CF Montreal?:

Club de Foot Montréal: Team unveils new name and brand identityl

The Montreal Impact unveiled a major identity change on Thursday, announcing a new name and brand image transformation. The club's name is now Club de Foot Montréal (CF Montréal, CFM or CFMTL).

"In order to keep on growing and progressing, we are making an important change," said President and CEO of Club de Foot Montréal, Kevin Gilmore. "This transformation is inspired by the culture of our city, its people, as well as the history of our Club and our sport in Montreal, to lead us into an even brighter future. It’s a great metamorphosis that will stimulate and guide our evolution."

I can't say I was ever fond of the Impact branding, or singular noun team names in general. But "Club de Foot"? Basically a generic "FC' moniker, but more clumsy.

But do I care? Not in the slightest.

If they ever play at Spruce Meadows again, I do expect the Foot Soldiers to do something witty though.

I have 2 quick questions:

1. Onesoccer has let me know that clubs give out the promo codes for subscriptions. Does anyone know if Cavalry has a current promo code?

2. My brother bought me the new Team Canada jersey. Tuxedo was able to match up the new font and put David and numbers on the jersey for me but is anyone aware of a site that sells Team Canada jerseys with names/numbers already added? I have tried contacting Canada Soccer by email and twitter with no luck

Thanks!

Norman played the last 45 at CB and looked really good IMO. Strong and accurate in his tackles. Farsi got on for the last few minutes, I didn't see his time on the pitch.

I haven't heard about a Cavalry code for this year. Most people still have their free year of OneSoccer that came with their 2020 season tickets, and the subscription with The Collective was extended to be good through April 30.

Tajon Buchanan was a step above everyone on the field today. With Euro scouts specifically watching him this tournament, he made a great impression.

I really liked Pantemis, the keeper for Valour last year, too. Although, I could live with less risky play out of the back.

World Cup Qualifying resumes on Thursday. Canada v. Barbados. It seems like Canada has a pretty good shot at getting a decent lineup there.

Atiba Hutchinson also got the call. That guy is incredible. 38 and still showing up.

Olympic qualifying vs Haiti at 4 pm today. David Norman Jr is starting at CB.

MNT roster is supposed to be announced tomorrow. So far, Borjan, Larin, Atiba, Hoilett, Eustaquio, Piette, Waterman, Miller, Corbeanu, Johnston and Kaye have been announced by various clubs. David is apparently allowed to go if he get a private plane. Davies has been suspended for the next Bayern 2 games so hopefully he will be there as well.

Think it will be a decent roster. Time to pump some minnows...

With Davies suspended he’s got some fresh legs and I bet he could do double duty for the U23s and the World Cup qualifying. I’m sure Bayern wouldn’t mind.
Looks like they were missing their shooting boots against Haiti. only saw the highlights but looks like they had a few pretty decent chances

Squad for the games on Thursday and Sunday has been released. Pretty weak at CB given all the injuries, but outside of that this is a very strong squad. Nice to see Davies there. No David, but with Cavallini and Larin I'm not too worried about that.

Would like to see St. Clair get cap tied against the Cayman Islands, as apparently Trinidad and Tobago have interest. He's looking like the replacement for Borjan.

CANADA
GK- Milan Borjan | SRB / FK Crvena zvezda (Red Star Belgrade)
GK- Maxime Crépeau | CAN / Vancouver Whitecaps FC

So awesome to see Charlton on there. Was hoping to see Halbouni from Werder as well.
