We're only missing two players, one of whom isn't technically signed yet. DeRo, Serioux, Nana and Brennan remain with TFC.

Canada's first game is July 3 in LA against Jamaica, followed by a trip to Columbus on July 7 to face El Salvador, then the final group stage game against Costa Rica in Miami on July 10.

From the release: "Should Canada advance, it will play in the quarter-final stage on 18 or 19 July in Philadelphia or Dallas, the semi-final stage on 23 July in Chicago, and the final on 26 July in New York."

The final is awfully close to the first leg of the Puerto Rico series. Looking at the roster, I don't think Canada can advance that far, although stranger things have happened. I think a semi-final spot is a reasonable goal for this rag-tag side, anything more is gravy.

Im sure this wont be the exact squad, but i would like to see something along those lines and having all this youth in the backline can only help for the long run...

Also, Will Johnson could very well play Stally's right mid spot and we could spring Stally as RB

Also looking at this lineup again... we can put a sturdy 2nd lineup out there and do ok

----------------------Wagenaar ---------------------
------Harmse----- Cann ----Hastings-------- Klukowski--
---Issey-------Bernier ---- Pozniak------Simpson -----
------------------Johnson ---- Gbeke -----------------

Anyone have any idea what the TV situation is for this? Sportsnet?

I'm hoping we get every match like last time as well. I believe it was Gol TV that covered the non-Canada games.

Seano, I'd like to see Stally playing RB personally. I'd go with this 4-4-2 formation.

Bench:
Stamatopoulous (GK), Hainault, Hastings, Peters, Bernier, Simpson, Gbeke

We could always switch to Johnson upfront and slide in Simpson/Bernier/Peters to play the wing.

It looks like the Gold Cup rosters are larger this year - I don't think we were able to bring 23 players to the tourney before.

How far this team goes I think partly depends on whether the other teams in the tourney will be bringing their top or nearly-top teams. Our squad is a bit stronger in some areas (wasn't expecting to see Klukowski there) but weaker in others (no Hirshfeld). Unfortunately we are in the toughest group & this squad hasn't been together much, so that won't help either.

I emailed Sportsnet, and they said they are currently in "negotiations" for the tourney and can't confirm anything at this time.

Just checking the Group Stage matches for Canada, and Sportsnet has room for the first 2 games, but has a Blue Jays conflict for the 3rd match.

Anyone else worried that Asmir Begovic will fly the coup for Bosnia?

It's a concern.

Yes

Would have liked to see David "Fucking" Edgar

With Bosnia set to call him up in August, it will be interesting to see what happens. Too bad Pompey wouldnt let him miss some pre-season.

ASMIR BEGOVIC FOR CANADA - The Facebook Group

The kid is on facebook and he will see this group. Join and let him know that he has supporters and fans from coast to coast that have been following his career for years. Let him know he has Canadian fans who want him to play for the Canadian National Team. Show him we care.
