TORONTO — Amer Didic’s road to the Canadian soccer team started in Bosnia, with several detours along the way.

Today Didic’s father is flying again — transporting tranquilized polar bears back to their native habitat is just one of the commercial helicopter pilot’s duties these days — and Amer is on the verge of winning his first cap for Canada. "You look at his physical talents, his technical talents, the way he can drive a ball, receive a ball. I was fortunate that a lot of other people couldn’t see what he had inside and that Ross put me on to him."

"I showed up first day. There was one stoplight in the whole city," Didic said with a smile. "Just land everywhere and then just a small school in the middle of it. Didic proved dangerous on set pieces both as the provider and target man. From a young age, Didic used to feed his father — who coached him as a youth — for volleys and so is quite at home taking a free kick with either foot.Didic was offered a tryout with the Swope Park Rangers, Sporting Kansas City’s USL affiliate, as a senior at Baker.

He also played three CONCACAF Champions League matches for Sporting Kansas City, making his debut in Trinidad, where he had to mark former Southampton and Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones.

Boucher showcasing both spectacular and subtle ways he can help Raptors - Sportsnet.caOG Anunoby impressed, but there was at least one other performance for Raptors fans to be thankful for on Sunday in what was an otherwise incredibly pre-season-like pre-season game. And it came from Chris Boucher. (loung_s) Raptors loung_s I have to say that I wasn't very impressed by Boucher tonight. Lost the rebound battle to Markkanen 13-2 and forced up a lot of awkward looking stuff. The blocks were impressive, but the Raptors will be in trouble if he plays significant minutes this season. michaelgrange Raptors loung_s He has two of the best role models michaelgrange Raptors loung_s Hard to play in that game. It was bedlam.
