    Whats with all this discrimination and court talk? I'm lost as to how that makes sense.

    The rule/quota was created by the CSA to state that if you want to field a D3 team outside of Canada's D3 league, than it must meet the requirements we have established.

    I. E.

    Each team will be required to ensure that 50 percent of its active USL-Pro roster is Canadian. Importantly, it defines Canadians not by their citizenship but rather by their national team eligibility. Canadians capped by other nations are free to play for the teams, but will be considered imports in relation to CSA sanctioning. To ensure that the cubs aren't just filling out their roster with Canadians for the sake of meeting the quota, the CSA is also requiring that six of the starting 11 players for each game be Canadian.
    For example, Martin Davis who is unofficially signed with TFCII is a jamaican born, youth international that has Canadian citizenship through his father. This tells me that although he is "Canadian" he will be classified as a import because hes representing another country. This does not mean he is eligible to play for this team, it just simply means he's part of the 50% that don't have to be Canadian.

    These rules are slightly different from when the CSA/MLS had the rule of 7 players must be Canadian.... I didn't hear discrimination and court talks then. What's the difference now?

    No Roberts!? Has he completely fallen off the depth chart?

    We need a TFC II forum!

    Apparently USF is a pretty good NCAA team. It will be interesting to see how Charpie plays against his Alma Mater. To score already gives me some hope that there will be joy in at least some parts of TFC land this year.

    Roberts gets his time. #4 on the depth chart it seems.

    It's a shame that Roberts doesn't seem like he's going to get a real chance with TFC, I can see him deciding to move on after his contract is up as the club apparently does not see him as a #1 moving into the future.

    I'm all for the best players playing, just sucks to see our loan Canadian keeper relegated to fourth teir. If Bono is the real deal that's fine, but do we really need 3 American keepers on our roster? Wish we would ditch konnopka (sic) and/or bendik, especially if Bono is the real deal, after all could a rookie keeper with a high ceiling really be any worse than Bendik?

    Do US based teams under the USSF in the USL have the same domestic requirements? The problem with regulations sometimes is they keep the little guys down, and the big guys big (status quo).

    Who else is excited for the usl season to get under way? I'm almost as pumped up to be able to watch the future unfold on a week by week basis as I am to watch TFC this year if not more so.

    We seem to have a good stable of potential first teamer's that might might be able to break through in a year or two, and I'm super stoked to hear Jason Bent say they are looking to keep TFC 2 as close to possible a U-23 side, with the exception of any older player who might come down from the first team, for re-hab/conditioning.

    He mentioned that a lot of other USL won't really be taking this approach, so it will benefit our younger players in having to adapt to playing against older/stronger opponents.

    Excited to have twice as much TFC to watch this year.

    Expect the roster to be announced today. Basically going to be what they had throughout preseason without a couple of the trialists and possibly a couple more players who were on the senior academy team last summer.

    Very excited about Ucello. I remember him getting the golden boot at U14 Gen Adidas tournament a few years ago.

    Good chance for us to groom Skylar an Simonin to potentially take Hagglund's place when he takes over from Caldwell.

    Man the Raptors need their own NBADL team!

    I am sure they will get one after building their practice facility (which will be located close to BMO field).

    i don't know, you would think a few older guys are good for the mental aspect of becoming a pro.

    Soooo how does the whole system with with players that are signed to TFC contracts? Is there a limited nubmer of players that can be shipped down to play for TFCII? I'm just curious to see what the full roster looks like, since their season starts on the 21st.

    This is a weird signing. What's the point in developing young players who are not owned (on loan) by TFC.

    I think it's about giving the team a different option up front. Spencer is a very big target forward.

    And

    He's a Vanney boy. He signed him to the RSL academy and then brought him to Chivas with him.

    Spencer is a very promising player, so I'm ok with the signing.

    I'm hoping that this is done with a look at Spencer being here long term.

    nobody screaming about Vanney developing a US talent for USL squad? lol
