The Montreal Impact confirmed Thursday that it has pulled its U21 team out of the embattled Canadian Soccer League.

Six members of the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency and five players from TFC Academy are featured on coach Sean Fleming’s pre-tournament roster ahead of the CONCACAF U-20 Championships.

“There’s one or two that we were discussing, but for whatever reason at this moment in time it’s not going to be possible,” said Miller, “but we’ll continue to work with the Whitecaps. We have a fantastic relationship with the club.”

“I thought it was a possession clinic for the Whitecaps in the first half,” Miller told reporters following the match. “We created a few chances for a five-minute spell. It was our first outdoor 90 minutes in all honesty, so we weren’t expecting miracles, but with well-chosen words at half time, you could see a response from the guys.”

Valentin has really seen his stock diminish over the past two-plus MLS seasons. In 2011, he was the No. 4 overall pick, and then went on to play in 25 games for Chivas USA. The Goats’ decision to not protect Valentin in the Expansion Draft came as a shock — and the Impact looked to have a steal of a deal when it selected the former Generation Adidas player.

Less than a week after cutting Canadian Matt Stinson from the roster, Toronto FC has added Ryan Richter, who had been trialling with the club.

This week, Bernier got five votes and finished second in POTW voting. Last week, he got seven votes and finished second. Three weeks ago, Bernier finished third in POTW voting. Every week, Bernier is getting votes, and they are coming from all across North America.

“That’s the difference between being playing a higher level of football and a lower level of football. You take your chances. You might only get once chance away from home and you must learn to take that one chance that you may get.”

“He played very, very well. He didn’t make any mistakes. He was solid and he concentrated,” said Head Coach Marco Schallibaum when asked for his assessment of the youngster’s performance. "He also played a simple game, like I asked of him. He did very well for a first game."

So, based on that logic, if MLS was to allow Canadians to be registered in America as domestics, well, all that U.S. Immigration would care about is if the Canadian player coming in was legally entitled to work in the U.S. or not.
