tgam.ca/newslettersEntering its seventh FIFA U-17
World Cup, Canada is still look-
ing for its first win after 14 losses
and four draws.
The young Canadian men face
a tough start Oct. 26, when they
kick off the competition against
host Brazil, a three-time cham-
pion whose record in 16 trips to
the tournament is 53-18-11.
Brazil beat Canada 2-0 in their
only other meeting at the tour-
nament, in 1995.
“You can imagine Brazil
brings a lot of technical quality, a
lot of attacking flair and certain-
ly some athleticism,” Canada
coach Andrew Olivieri said.
“Some very talented players.
Some boys on the verge of sign-
ing big contracts in Europe. So
there’s a lot of quality there.
“Playing them in the first
match is probably the best time
to play them,” he added optimis-
tically. “You hope to catch them
maybe a little bit with the nerv-
es, maybe catch them by sur-
prise. Hopefully they’re not as
ready for us as they would be lat-
er in the tournament.”
Canada will then face Angola
on Oct. 29 and New Zealand on
Nov. 1. All three matches will be
played at the Estadio Bezerrao,30 kilometres outside of the Bra-
zilian capital of Brasilia.
Angola, a tournament debu-
tante, finished in the top three in
African qualifying. New Zealand
is making its ninth trip to the
tournament, having advanced
out of the group phase three
times. The 24-team tournament
runs through Nov. 17
Olivieri named his 21-man ros-
ter Friday, with Montreal Impact
Academy defender Maxime
Bourgeois and Cavalry FC winger
Aribim Pepple the last two cuts.
Twenty of the players are with
Canadian MLS club academies:
eight from Toronto, and six each
from Montreal and Vancouver.The Canadians have been
training in Argentina since Oct.- They move to Brazil on Tues-
day after a closed-door game Sat-
urday with Mexico. On Wednes-
day they lost another closed-
door session 2-1 to Argentina
with Emiliano Brienza scoring
for Canada with a left-footed
shot from outside the box.
Canada failed to qualify for
the 2015 and 2017 editions of the
tournament. The Canadians
have never advanced out of
group play. On the plus side,
their four draws have come in
their past two appearances.
In 2013 in the United Arab
Emirates, they drew Austria and
Iran and lost to Argentina, who
went on to finish fourth. In 2011
in Mexico, they lost to eventual
runner-up Uruguay before tying
England and Rwanda.
Canada played host for the
tournament in 1987. It also took
part in 1989, 1993 and 1995.
The Canadians qualified for
Brazil by beating Costa Rica 4-3
on penalty kicks after their quar-
ter-final ended in a 1-1 tie after
regulation time at the CONCA-
CAF U17 Championship in Bra-
denton, Fla., in May. Canada then
lost 4-0 to the U.S. in the semi-
finals.THE CANADIAN PRESSCanadanamesrosterforFIFAU-17WorldCup

T
oronto FC fans could wit-
ness Wayne Rooney’s MLS
swan song Saturday. They
will be hoping they haven’t seen
the last of Toronto captain Mi-
chael Bradley.
The 33-year-old Rooney,
whose D.C. United visits Toronto
in a first-round playoff game, is
returning to England to join Der-
by County after the season.
Bradley’s future is more mys-
terious. While his contract ex-
pires at the end of the year, the
32-year-old midfielder has elect-
ed to keep negotiations under
wraps. The cone of silence has
made for uncertainty, although
the skipper seems keen to stay.
Bradley answered in the nega-
tive this week when asked
whether he had considered Sat-
urday could be his last home
game at BMO Field.
“There’s always moments to
be sentimental and to think
twice about things, to make sure
that you enjoy certain things.
And I find the right moments to
do that,” said Bradley, who has
played 196 games in Toronto col-
ours. “But I’m still in my mind
very much operating under the
assumption that there are more
games to be played in that stadi-
um. A lot more games.”
“Ultimately any personal sit-
uations, anything like that take a
back seat at moments like this,”
he added.
Bradley is making US$6.5-mil-
lion this season, second only to
LA Galaxy star Zlatan Ibrahimov-
ic’s US$7.2-million. Whether TFC
and Bradley’s camp can come to
a mutually agreeable number on
a new contract will likely decide
his future.
Bottom line, the captain is an
integral part of the TFC culture.
“He’s the glue between the of-
fence and the defence. He’s a true
leader,” said goalkeeper Quentin
Westberg, who has known Bra-
dley since he was 15.
“It’s all about character and
skills and he’s a great mix. He’s
definitely crucial,” he added.
The more immediate concern
for Toronto is the health of star
striker Jozy Altidore, who ginger-
ly exited in the 70th minute of
the Oct. 6 season-ending win
over Columbus with a quad
strain.
Altidore, whose 11 goals weresecond only to Alejandro Pozue-
lo’s 12 for Toronto this season,
saw some training time Friday.
“Every day is how does he re-
spond to the day’s work. We’ll do
another fitness test with him
(Saturday) and see where we’re
at,” coach Greg Vanney said. “It’sfor sure questionable going into
[Saturday], but we’re going to
just play it by ear.”
He conceded the burly striker
would not be 100 per cent and
“we’re pushing the envelope if
we decide to try him, at all.”
“The question is what could
we safely – for the player and for
the team – even get out of him if
we went with him [Saturday],”
Vanney added.
Altidore said he is game.
“I’m going to try [to play],” he
said. “We’ll see. I feel better so
we’ll just have to see.”
Altidore is no stranger to hero-
ics. Two years ago, hobbled by an
ankle injury, he seemed destined
to leave the Eastern Conference
final against Columbus early. In-
stead he stayed on and scored
the winning goal that sent Toron-
to to the MLS Cup final.
It’s been a while since both
teams lost although D.C. United’s
draw with FC Cincinnati on Deci-
sion Day, combined with the To-
ronto win over Columbus and
Red Bulls loss in Montreal, al-
lowed TFC to climb past D.C. into
fourth spot to host the first-
round playoff game.
Toronto ended the regular sea-
son on a 10-game undefeated
string (4-0-6), one shy of the club
record set in 2017. Toronto’s last
loss was Aug. 3 when it was bea-
ten 2-0 at the New York Red
Bulls.
TFC is also riding a five-game
undefeated streak (4-0-1) at
home.
D.C. United went undefeated
in its final five regular season
matches (3-0-2). Bill Hamid has
posted five consecutive clean
sheets, extending United’s shut-
out streak to a club-record 504
minutes. D.C. has not conceded a
goal since a 3-1 loss Aug. 24 in
Philadelphia.
Saturday’s winner advances to
play East-leading New York City
FC next Wednesday in the confer-
ence semifinal with the game to
be played at Citi Field due to the
Yankees’ playoff run.
MLS opted to shift the game
from Yankee Stadium to allow
time to plan for its playoff game,
regardless of the status of the
baseball playoffs. NYCFC also
played at the Mets’ stadium in
the 2017 regular-season finale,
against Columbus.THE CANADIAN PRESSEyesonAltidore,BradleyasTFCopensplayoffsagainstD.C.
