Blackdude Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 If I remember correctly, Friend refused the call up against Ukraine. I wouldn't be surprised if he is the odd man out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe MacCarthy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Haven't seen this anywhere (I might have missed it). The Dobber is reporting Patrice Bernier is out with a broken leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Haven't seen this anywhere (I might have missed it). The Dobber is reporting Patrice Bernier is out with a broken leg. Ahhhh that is a really key injury for us right now! Our thin midfield just got thinner for Greece... Hutchinson, Johnson and ? Like I posted before I'd definitely put Stalteri in the midfield unless Hart wants to start Pacheco but I don't think he should. If we call JBB I think it would be a waste to start him again, not to discredit him at all I just mean we only have so many matches to see players and we saw him last match and I don't think anyone expects him to be really involved come WCQ time. We should definitely call Dunfield as he deserves another look and he's already won a contract with Vancouver I think it would be good for both him and Vancouver if he played vs. Greece. No way training with Vancouver would help him as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 If we're grabbing Whitecaps, take Davies as well. Dunfield, Davies, and Pacheco would be pretty good cover behind Hutchinson and Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckley17 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I would expect that Friend refused so as to not jeoprodize his spot with Hertha Berlin. He hasn't been playing and now has an opportunity to start again. He probably wants to focus on training and playing with Berlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm a little leery of having NA based players barely into preseason training logging many minutes in this friendly against opponents in mid season form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guppy Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Nice! In his exhibition games he has been playing well. THe man can run!! it's unreal Cool to hear Ricketts name.. tho everytime I see Ricketts the U20 flashes thru my mind and him hitting the post/crossbar against Congo, or was it Austria, or slidding with his leg extended just missing a tap in .. And I don't think I ever felt such soccer-watching pain as the Chile game. Sorry to bring all that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Nik Ledgerwood confirmed for Greece: He must be there for midfield depth, we should have a good amount of defenders for this match. Nick has been disappointing for the nats but hopefully with more match time he's improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick has been disappointing for the nats but hopefully with more match time he's improved. Actually I went through the list. We don't have a lot of depth at Defense. We have a ton of guys who haven't seen the pitch since November. For guys actually getting playing time/in the middle of the season we have: De Jong, Klukowski (injured right now), Edgar (not playing much), Ledgerwood, Stalteri (hasn't played at all in reserve or first team matches), Straith (not playing much), McKenna (odd man out at Koln), and Peters. Most of our defenders are MLS based, and we also have Chris Pozniak in Norway, which is in it's offseason...but at least Pozniak has played a couple matches recently. We have far bigger concerns on the back four than we do in the midfield right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 WTF!?! it's 2 Feb in Greece already! Why hasn't the CSA, CBC or Sportsnet announce the roster for the game vs Hellas already!?! Yes, this is getting pretty late, even by CSA standards. We have eight names confirmed from a variety of sources, but I would have thought more names would have leaked out by now on team sites or other news articles.

jonovision Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 ^ I thought this roster release was feeling even later than usual but that may not be the case. I took a few minutes and checked far in advance rosters were announced for friendlies over the last year or two. Really quickly @ Ukraine - announcement 7 days in advance vs Peru (and Honduras, I counted the days between the announcement and the Peru match) - 9 days @ Argentina (also Venezuela) - 10 days @ Jamaica - 17 days @ Macedonia (also Poland) - 8 days @ Cyprus - 8 days Yup, too much time on my hands.

tarnado1555362291 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Interesting to see DeRo back in. I wonder if he will be used at the top of the midfield triangle, like Hutch was used in Ukraine. That's where Winter wants to play him at TFC.
