I mean, I can't like spit out a bunch of names right now, but I do know infrastructure is improving.
You know, the level of investment into the youth national teams has increased a lot through Kevin Blue and the work he's done to generate some more revenue there for Canada soccer.
So I know the next crop of players are going to have more camps.
They're going to be in more tournaments.
They're going to be together more.
So they're going to have a bit more of a, you know, team environment.
aspect to them you know rather than coming together or twice a year and then playing a u17 world cup qualifier you know so there's been intention to grow in the bottom line uh and all that's just going to produce more players so can't spit out some names right now but i know there's been clear intention into getting more resources into the youth level of the national team
I mean, obviously you got to shoot for the shoot for the moon, right?
But right now I think we're under 20.
I think obviously making the round of 16, I think that bumps our rankings under 20.
And I think we can comfortably sit in this range and push higher and lower.
I don't see us any different than USA, you know, at times at their best, they were, you know, close to 10.
I'm not sure if they ever broke top 10, but in that range, there is probably where we belong, you know, obviously fluctuating up and down, but we've proved that we deserve to be there, be here now.
And we are just getting started guys.
We have,
three professional academies across an entire nation you know what i mean our domestic league has no academies you know down to u13s like we're still a long ways behind in terms of catching up with the football nations with the top football nations in the world you look at morocco for example they had a 10 15 year strategy to create a national training center with you know world-class pitches and accommodations where their players can
Go there and have school in and play soccer and be with their national team.
We don't have that, you know Morocco another example they invested into their coach and they invest into their professional club so they can Start building players and building academies and look at the result They went from a team in a in a region where you know, there wasn't much consistency to be in a top 10
team in the world over the course of 10 years so that's a good blueprint in what they did and we could be similar we could be similar
I mean, from what I've been watching and what I've been seeing, Ryan Gold is flying.
