Who is Akindele and why is it big?


Tesho Akindele was born in Canada to a Nigerian father and a Canadian mother and moved with his family to the U.S. at the age of eight.[1] He grew up in Thornton, Colorado and was a standout for Northglenn High School, turning down an offer to join the Colorado Rapids academy at the age of 17 in order to focus on academics

Could've played elsewhere.

We got one!


Hey look at that

Akindele plays with Bekker
and Nana plays with Dike

Did Akindele actually accepted the call up? Or just like last time got called up but didn't go.

Rookie of the year in MLS last season.

He's a striker who actually scores. He's doing a goal every 269 minutes right now. For a Canadian, that's not bad.

The list is from Canada soccer. I'd hope he agreed to it.

Floro has been pretty big as of late on only calling dudes who will accept that call. I feel good about a cap tie.

San Antonio. Ya. That's where Dike went and Nana is there.

San Antonio. That's where Dike went, no?

Yep. It's relevant because we're presently in the TFC section. :)

This roster will be thrown in the Canada section for gametime.
