Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 27/NASL Week 24/USL Week 25 By Steven Sandor Posted on September 11, 2017 Comments Off on Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 27/NASL Week 24/USL Week 25 0 1,151 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Callum Irving Hurricane Irma caused a few postponements in USL, and wiped out all games but one on the NASL schedule. So, it’s a good time to pause and assess how Canadians are doing in terms of playing time. So far this season, 26 Canadians have appeared in MLS matches; but, of those, only five have earned more than 1,000 minutes each. To put that in perspective, 1,000 minutes is just over 11 games of full-game action. More than half are under the 500-minute mark. Last year, as of Week 27, 24 Canadians had played in MLS; but, of those, seven had seen 1,000 minutes or more. In USL, with 28 games played, TFCII looks to be far off the average of Canadian minutes per game needed to satisfy Canada Soccer’s guidelines. TFCII and WFC2 are required to average enough playing time for Canadians to equal six players out of the 11. That means 540 minutes per game. By our math, with 28 games gone in its season, TFCII is nearly 100 minutes/game off the pace.
