loyola Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 We aren't playing many games so why not starting a game thread for this international friendly? According to VPjr, the starting lineup for Canada will be: Wagenaar - Stalteri, Jakovic, McKenna, Kluko - JDG, Atiba, Peters - De Jong, Johnson - Gerba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to VPjr, the starting lineup for Canada will be: Wagenaar - Stalteri, Jakovic, McKenna, Kluko - JDG, Atiba, Peters - De Jong, Johnson - Gerba Is this how they are going to be arranged (4-3-2-1)? As much as I like de Jong's left foot capabilities from the flank, I'd prefer his defensive robustness even more, preferably from a deeper lying position in front of the back four, helping to shield our back line and cover for Klukowksi and Stalteri's offensive forays.

If I correctly understood the Spanish article I read, and am right about Guatemala's time zone, the match doesn't start until 1 pm local (4 pm et).

Keegan Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Weird formation It could be the same one we used in 2007 though with De Jong and Johnson as attacking wingers. JDG Atiba and Peters as central mids. I don't understand why Peters and Johnson aren't switched who knows though maybe Peters will benefit from this he must be looking good in training. I hope Jackson gets to play a half as I'd take him over Gerba. Also like to see Hainault in for Jakovic, Hastings in for Kluko, hell put Cann in for McKenna just like the Venezeula friendly play some guys who won't play during the GC. Also Simpson in for De Jong, Bernier for Peters, Harmse for De Guzman, Issey in for Johnson, Sutton for Wagenaar. Just let Stalteri and Hutch play 90. Can't risk injury to De Guzman.

loyola Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 quote:Originally posted by jonovision Johnson's not really a forward, though. He played there before. But you can change this formation to a 4-5-1 with Johnson in the middle or Johnson on the flank with DeJong in the middle where he already played with Canada.

I realize that De Jong has predominantly been a left flank player at club level, but I'd like to see what he can do from a more defensively oriented standpoint in the middle. I also realize that this goes against my core belief that you play guys where they usually play at club level, but I feel this particular squad lacks a bit of muscle and ballwinning capability in the centre of the park, so maybe it's worth a look.

jonovision Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 GOAL GERBA. 4th minute. Don't look now, but with a good tournament, he could tie De Ro for the active goal scoring title with 15 (he now has 12). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't look now, but with a good tournament, he could tie De Ro for the active goal scoring title with 15 (he now has 12). He's gonna beat Mitchell at this rate. The guy is a goal machine and he is 27 years old, he'll be 30 at the start of the next cycle and probably playing regular MLS ball. He has three years to get 7 goals with two Gold Cups and one WCQ cycle. He'll do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I can't believe I'm hitting the F5 key on the CanadaSoccer website to get updates that have so little detail and insight. Was Gerba's goal a 30 yard screamer or was it a rebound off his backside while falling down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Anyone notice the picture on the CSA page for the Gold Cup Roster appears to be the only picture from the Cyprus match we've ever seen. McKenna and Issey congratulating Simeon on his goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
