I'm real happy to see Edgar called, now let's see if he shows! Haber is a good call up too, he seems to be doing quite well in the Scottish Premier! Hopefully Uccello gets the call as well, I want to see what he can do at this level!

I'm also very happy to see Edgar there.

I'm wondering if the fact OO and Haber are confirmed mean we won't see Friend in Ukraine? It would surprise me if we were to call 3 big strikers.

Maybe that's Hart's new plan in a 4-3-3 to pump lots of long balls forward and have three BIG guys challenge for them!

I'm just gonna say that it's great we're finally getting some squad rotation. The US went through well over 90 players last world cup cycle. Did we even go through 40? The search for depth and the eternal tests against higher opposition will allow us to compete in the next cycle with some ferocity!

If you're interested, we've got a depth chart going with all the minutes played in friendlies since the '09 Gold Cup. Hart's already called up 43 different players: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AoH64aVX5xxfcm1WSTdoOHBpWDU5N3BCeEpZZjlEeHc&hl=en&single=true&gid=7&output=html

Thanks for that, pretty usefull stats!

I guess you'll be able to add 2-3 new players to this list (OO, Edgar and Haber). To answer TFCRegina comment, I would say that while depth is good I'm not sure we can afford to use to many games to assess players. At some point SH will have to determine who our top 22-25 players are and go from there. He needs to start playing our guys together in order to developp some chemistry.

Slight changes to the Ukraine side. Also, the game will be shown on Ukrainian TV so there should be a stream here: http://inter.ua/en/live

"Ukraine caretaker coach Yuriy Kalytvyntsev added FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk halfback Ruslan Rotan and FC Shakhtar Donetsk defender Olexander Kucher to his selection. In the meantime, Dmytro Chyhrynsky who was given a call-up earlier will be absent as he is not fit for the forthcoming encounter. Ukraine will meet Canada in a friendly on October 8th at Kyiv’s Valeriy Lobanovsky stadium. Inter channel will provide the live coverage of the match that kicks-off at 20.45."

I don't have a problem with seeing some p/t to Occean and others but I'm getting tired of the Friend bashing. He has looked as good as any player for Canada and has started very well with Hertha. Hart has a known quantity there. Top player in a very good league.

Agreed.

Friend isn't getting the delivery he gets in Germany.

Tough to produce.
