My thoughts, Hume is missing, and obviously Hoilett hasn't been sold on Canada yet,

Friend < Hume.

Surprised Dunfield got the call... Can't actually see him playing though, not ahead of DeJong, DeGuzman, Derosario, Hutchinson and Johnson.

Im absolutely shocked, team canada must not have been watching much MLS this year, but atleast that means he's not on the field for the caps

The call-up for Dunfield to me is the same as when Nash was called up during the last Gold Cup. I think.

The biggest surprise is Ali Gerba getting into the mix again... and I mean big.

 

[Gurps]

Any thoughts on what the starting lineup may look like? Apparently Jackson will be paying on the outside and not as the go to striker.

 

[dezza]

Is there anyone in the squad that can play CB besides McKenna and Hainault?

 

[Regs]

Isn't Jakovic a CB?

 

[johnnybluenose]

Yes he is Regs.... he and Hainault should be "mortal locks" to start at CB together.

 

[bulljive]

At first glance I think we are completely stacked, then I actually read the line-up and realized what an embarrassment Canadian soccer is. Any chance we can just send Pegasus to the gold cup..sorry I mean Indo.

How is Simeon Jackson NOT the starting striker? He's just coming off tearing up Champions league in a promotion battle for fcuks sakes?


Does somebody want to tell me what a FC Politehnica Timiþoara? Seriously?

That is what I was wondering as well. But, according to the coach, they are gonna go with one deep striker, and Jackson on the outside.

 

[johnnybluenose]

Jackson is continually deployed out wide for Canada.. Instead Rob Friend or Ali Gerba will play a lone wolf striker... shame...

The fact is that the better players Canada have are central Midfielders.

I'd go with:

-------------------------------Jackson--------------------
-------------------------De Rosario-----------------------
Nakajima-Farran------------------------------------Simpson
------------------Hutchinson------DeGuzman---------------
Ledgerwood/Klukowski---jackovic------Hainault---------Peters

 

[Gurps]

Not a bad lineup^ But what is the actual line up going to look like?

 

[johnnybluenose]

Friend/Gerba
DeRo-Hutchinson-Dunfield/DeJong-Jackson
DeGuzman
Jackovic-Hainault-McKenna-Peters

 

[Gurps]

Let's hope they can pull out some wins.
