Can honestly say in the handful of chats I've had with him, he comes across as super genuine about his approach and beliefs in how players should be treated.

I remember the heady days of Dwayne De Rosario (one of my all-time MLS faves), Julian De Guzman, an ancient Paul Stalteri, the once and future Atiba Hutchinson, and a half dozen dudes playing in the German third division.

Single handedly changed what Football means to this country. First with the Women's team and now this, legend status confirmed. ✅ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin played with DeRo at Malvern (top Canadian club team), but is a few years younger than him, so their stints on the National team didn't line up. My cuz eventually landed a scholarship to the University of Notre Dame, captained the team there and hung them up shortly after. Atiba is, played a cameo yesterday at the ripe age of 39.

toontownman Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Remember Craig Forrest at West Ham. Means an awful lot to and awful lot of people. Crazy to think of the players that have come and gone without being part of a WC. The fact it is on the front page of every newspaper in Canada this morning shows how much is changing. With the co-hosting in 2026 and expanded WC going forward it is most likely Canada will always qualify going forward, combined with the CPL slowly growing and womens league hopefully next, things are like Herdman says "We are only just getting started".

He had a rough run with injuries and then was involved in a car crash and never fully came back the same. Herdman did give him a send off camp though before he retired. He played on with Forge and played in their inaugural Champions League qualifying run before retiring just over a year ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 During lockdown him and Kyle Bekker would do live Q&A’s on Instagram. I was able to ask Edgar a lot of questions which he answered. Seems like a really nice bloke. Before joining Forge, he was rumoured to be involved in bringing a CPL team to the Tri-city area, where he is from, which isn’t that far away from Hamilton.

Really excited for that growth and for my kids to hopefully join a more structured grass roots game. So much of our team is young, so we'll be competitive in CONCACAF the next decade and beyond, like you say. This is really exciting for the game here. Forrest was the face of Saturday morning Football (PL mostly, though he did decent analysis of Serie A) here for most of my youth and 20's. He's a great human being, super approachable and you can't help but feel the feels when you see that reaction. He's a great ambassador of the game for Canada, a pro's pro. Whatever that means.

I know Forrest's ex and while she says he's the most boring human ever, him and Gerry Dobson were the face of PL coverage growing up here. Seeing him that excited is pure lovely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 With tonight’s results, if Canada beat Panama tomorrow, then they will move up from Pot 4, and into Pot 3 for the draw. A draw would mean they would win the CONCACAF qualifying group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
