jonovision Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I kind of wasn't expecting to see Julian there. I also kind of wish Atiba was listed as a midfielder. It will be interesting to see what some of the strikers can do. Dwayne DeRosario is the only one who has seen a lot of NT matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish_LYNX_Fan Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 O.O. and De Ro are our bestbet I think, and then we can bring Gerba or Jordan of the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C. Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Surprisingly strong pool. Stalteri and Kuklowski are the only top ommisions (that I can think of offhand). Isn't Jazic injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 http://www.concacaf.com/view_article.asp?id=3050 If you want to see other teams preliminary roster. It seems that the US will have a good squad. It seems like Mike Franks didn't impress FY during this week camp in Florida or maybe they have a deal with Vancouver. I like this selection, it will be interesting to see how we do this summer. No Reda? Is he injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I REALLY like this roster. Looks like a strong team on paper. It may be a bit of a mishmash as far as cohesion is concerned, depending on how many of the newbies start. Lots of fresh legs and youth. Four keepers, including two new guys. Great roster picks. Only wish I could be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Its a much stronger squad than I expected. Wonder why did they named four keepers? This cannot be the final squad. This may very well be a preliminary squad that doesn't take into consideration those who will not make themselves available. Thats a total of 29 players. If I am not mistaken, the final roster should be 18-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 7 Impact players and only 1 Whitecap. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Not really sure what all this is about. Nine Impact players? Not surprising on a prelim. roster of 30 or so I guess. Expect that roster to get real short real fast over the next couple of weeks. Hmm, indeed. Nsaliwa, JB, Jazic, Hutch and The Guz all on board eh? Believe it when I see it. Won't be surprised to see Hume, Big Kev, Serioux, Simpson, Peters or Occean. All good lads everyone. Just try to keep them out of a Canada shirt. Even for a "bull****" tourny like the Gold Cup. Not much room for Impact players after that, eh Daniel. Bet you're lot will get their share in all the same. Good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyola Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Peeters and Wagenaar are on the list because the WYC end on July 2nd and Canada is likely to be out at that moment. The GC starts on July 7 or 8 I think. I agree WF, Rob Friend should have been called, but I like the presense of Ademol.u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cannot be the final squad. This may very well be a preliminary squad that doesn't take into consideration those who will not make themselves available. Thats a total of 29 players. If I am not mistaken, the final roster should be 18-22 The final roster, to be announced 15 days before the first match on July 6 (June 21), is to be composed of 23 players. So, we'll definitely see three Goalkeepers on the final list. Of these 23 players, only starters and 7 possible substitutes can dress for each match. 6 from Canada's provisional list have to be cut, but can be brought in on documentation proving matters such as injuries, before a team's first match. The new GC regs were passed on June 6, and have just been posted on the CONCACAF site at: http://www.concacaf.com/graphics/stats-regs/pdf/goldcup_e.pdf " 6. Team Delegations and Final Roster Each participating Association shall submit to the CONCACAF General Secretariat its Final Delegation list of up to 30 persons, which may include up to 23 players, not later than 15 days prior to the first match of the Final Phase. Only these 23 players will (except in the case of force majeure recognized by the organizing committee for the CONCACAF Gold Cup) be permitted to compete in the Final Phase. 7. A listed player may only be substituted in the event of serious injury up until 24 hours before his team's first match, after CONCACAF has received a detailed medical assessment in English and only after acceptance by the CONCACAF Sports Medical Committee that the injury is sufficiently serious to prevent the player from taking part in the Competition. The National Association shall then immediately nominate the substitute and inform CONCACAF accordingly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I think who ultimately is selected for forwards is the most interesting angle. DeRosario is obvious, and it seems that it's likely Occean will come regardless of the fact his club is still playing. Hume can play up front but after that, nobody has even one cap. I suspect that at least one and as many as two of Jordan, Gerba, Ademolu, and Placentino will be picked. Personally, I'd rather have Friend than any of those. Out of that list, I'd like to see Ademolu because to me he is such an unknown quantity. Jordan would be second choice. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the final roster is 23 players (which would be 5 more than any other Gold Cup) then I'd expect that at least two will be retained. Obviously one of the keepers will be cut, at least one striker, midfielder & defender, leaving two more cuts to be made. Very surprised to see Julian listed, but I suspect that despite this we still may not see him selected due to club committment (unless Spain begins their training season later than the others).

ray Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 So Rhian Dodds and Felix Brillant didn't make the squad either or is it a question of club duties? Anyway, good to see new players being given a chance to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massive Attack Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I don't expect to see Julian DeGuzman at the Gold Cup. Deportivo start their Intertoto Cup matches on July 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Yeah, Julian was probably listed as a "we'll put him down anyway & hope we can get him" selection, rather than one that is expected. He's a good enough player to "waste" a selection (as a high risk) when you are cutting 6 and going with 23 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
