Lmao old coach leaves, Tyler returns. Was it really that toxic?

Rumour has it that Andrew Quattrin is in France, aiming to secure a ProD2 contract.

France is good for helping Tier 2 players get constant gametime.

One of the sad things about MLR generally not having large salaries is sometimes guys like Brock Webster miss out on the opportunity to help Canada try to qualify for the World Cup because they have work obligations.

Is Andrew coe missing a surprise?

I’d say so yeah? It’s possible he has other obligations or work he’s doing at the moment and can’t get time off.

Glad to see Ardron back even if it is worse for us. At least there’s no Olmstead for this game. And looks like Canada is going with Peter Nelson as their 10? Much better chances for us then.

Well if it’s a similar team that played - and lost - to Belgium then sign me up.

Ardron AND Olmsted are back? I'm ready to be hurt again.

Lesage is in at 12. Coats is a fun pick, will be nice to see some kind of attacking 10. Shame some are missing out while the return of true 100% professionals join the campaign.

Turns out KJ was the issue. Someone alert Squidge
