    Jason de Vos talks about youth development in Canada.

    “Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.

    I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’

    And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

    -Eduardo Galeano

    Nice result, it's 2017 what no highlights of this game, nobody own a phone lol. Top two teams in division go through will need at least a tie to have a chance to go through, this Prague team has some good history at this tournament, hopefully the boys don't take them lightly thinking that if they were able to tie Juve then the next game should be a formality.

    do we know if there is an age gap between our team and the other youth teams? Most promising u20s in europe you would assume are part of the reserves vs a full youth setup.

    All the teams in the tournament have squads in the 16-20 age range.

    TFC and Juve's squads stack up age wise

    Dukla Prague does have a good history in the tournament but that was under communism. Dukla was the military club, and now they are not even close to the club they once were. The current U19 team doesn't even play in the top tier of U19 soccer. They play in a 2nd tier competition and they are currently in 5th place. Youth soccer in the Czech Republic is of a good standard, but I am not so sure about this current Dukla side. With all of that being said, Toronto FC should win, but Dukla has enough talent to surprise.

    TFC II signs defender Lars Eckenrode. 4th round pick this past draft. Not sure but I believe he is a CB.

    Top in each group, and best 6 2nd Place Finishers.

    I believe the boys need to win and get a good +/-
    There are 4 other groups that might have 5 points for 2nd place. It will most likely come to a tiebreaker

    Missed this earlier, academy midfielder Matthew Srbely has signed a sort of hybrid deal that will allow him to play in League1 Ontario with TFC III and USL with TFC II.

    Exactly what I expected. The Reds needed a place for their homegrown players who are currently on NCAA scholarships as they can't play with pros, which the academy now has in some cases. Believe four TFC3 players currently have signed some sort of pro deal.

    The infonic thing is, look at who runs KW United, the infamous Barry McLean.

    Good old Barry McLean wasn't this guy the player agent guy in the early few years of TFC where it seemed every player TFC signed had this guy as their agent, any name associated with " the worst team in the world", still makes me nervous.

    Yeah, the stink of Barry hasn't completely left the club, from what I hear.

    yes,that's the guy,scary part is that TFC is offering contracts to academy players mostly (and maybe only) trough him,don't want to sign with him,see you later.
    Great love does not exist without joy and without great suffering ,that's why One club is worth only as much as its fans !

    Well if I were to find out that this kind of shit is going on with the academy and this Maclean guy where if you don't want to sign with him than it's see you later, it's enough for me a season ticket holder since day one to cancel my season tickets, I'm serious this kind of crap if true is totally bullshit !

    Why has no one in the media looked into this shit and exposed it (i.e. Barry Maclean)? I have heard these stories for too many years!

    Paging a certain former sports journalist to weigh in on why sports journos don't cover sports corruption.

    But, as shitty as this is, sports in North America is riddled with this sort of thing. Bball academies, minor hockey, prep schools - at the development level, influence and money are making decisions rather then talent.

    TFC2 fell 3-1 in pre-season action this afternoon at Rochester. Johan Brunel started. Brandon Aubrey was also a starter. There only score of the day was a Rhinos OG.

    Hasn't signed a contract yet, but one would have to assume thats he's trialling for a contract with the reserves.
    Far cry from the projected top 5 pick.

    Looks like TFC at the Viareggio Tournament fell 4-2 to the Czech team, after tying their first two group games and tying Juventus out they go out of the tournament was to be expected I guess.

    He does have a contract. He was one of a few college seniors the league signed to contracts prior to the draft.

    isn't having a contract with the league separate from having one with a team?

    All contracts are with the league in MLS.
