adrenaline11 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Surprised to see de Jong included and even more surprised to hear that he's match fit and asked to be called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 With Ante Jazic and Marcel de Jong present, it'll be interesting to see how Stephen Hart manages to ridiculously shoehorn Russell Teibert in at left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingback6 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I like this squad a lot. Chance to blood a bunch of young guns. With some vets alongside to help guide the way. I am super excited to see how the guys do. Glad Henry finally got the call, he's deserved it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFC07 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 No Ashton Morgan? Dunfield and Henry both called up? Interesting that TFC willing to release those two players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrenaline11 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 No Ashton Morgan? Dunfield and Henry both called up? Interesting that TFC willing to release those two players. Gerry Dobson @SNGerryDobson Hart says #TFC coach Mariner was very cooperative regarding call ups. Just asked him not to take players where cover is thin. So no Morgan.

nfitz Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I wonder why BBC is saying the game has been postponed to Thursday - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/fixtures Presumably in error, given CSA didn't say anything today. Any info on game-time? I assume there's not going to be any TV coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerHoota Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Wasnt Dero called for this game a few days ago? Happy Teibert got the call, but i doubt he'll see playing time. Ill be able to congratulate next time i see him at my work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Not a bad team at all, really surprised to see Evan James called though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esco0428 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm thinking this is the lineup that the team goes with to start out against T&T: 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 Hirschfeld Ledgerwood Jakovic Hainault Jazic Ricketts Johnson Bernier De Guzman De Jong Cavallini OR Hirschfeld Ledgerwood Jakovic Hainault Jazic Johnson Bernier De Guzman Ricketts Cavallini De Jong Another possibility would be taking out Cavallini, putting Ricketts in that starting Central Striker spot, and bringing in Dunfield.

Free kick Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Looks very much like they are using this game to give a second and last look at a few players who are just off the radar. And 1-2 of those are way off the radar so i cant imagine why they would be getting looked at. In all, are perhaps 8-10 player on the list whom I wouldn't expect to get called up in September. but i would look at perhaps one or two of those to impress and force Stephen Hart's hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I am happy with the roster for this friendly. Thoughts: Glad to see Henry get rewarded with a call up. With over 40 apperances in MLS and CONCACAF, he is now a viable option should we need backline depth. Good to see Hart take this opportunity to get him acclimatized to the senior level. Tiebert is an interesting inclusion. He has virtually seen no time in MLS this season, but at least has made the bench in recent weeks. That is not enough to warrent a call, but he is a young left footed player and likely an alternative to Morgan (who TFC may have requested to keep). Not upset to see him called because we always knew the 19 year old would find himself in the national team pool sooner or later. Cavallini: I am very happy to see him called, and although I have only seen him a handful of times, he appears to fit the "Occean" mold. In other words, he is physical , mobile, and can finish. We have little depth for strikers in this hemisphere so if he does well I am sure we will see more of him whenever we play in the Americas. Evan James: indication we had trouble getting players called in. Showed promise in the U-23's though and maybe the camp will give him confidence he can break into Impact first team. De Jong: I am more surpised Augsburg released him than surprised Hart called him. As good as Jazic has done, we need to get this guy involved again. He is a starter in the Bundesliga and has too much quality not to be part of qualifying. Not saying he steps back into the starting role automatically, but good on Hart for giving him a chance to show the spot is his. Anyone know who T&T called?

Keegan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 So where is DeRo? It's going to be very interesting to see what we can manage in attack with so many players missing. It would be unfair to expect too much from the 3 rookie attackers here. We're going to get a real good idea of what Ricketts offers by himself here, I'm excited. Also pretty surprised that REB isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I think this is a terrible lineup in the middle of a WCQ qualification round. It would be a great lineup if we were in a long break before the next round or not in WCQ. However, we have two extremely important WCQ matches coming up and this is a FIFA date. We should have called our best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 T&T Squad: http://www.socawarriors.net/mens-senior-team/11313-molino-eager-to-face-canada-on-wednesday.html Goalkeepers: Jan-Michael Williams (W Connection), Cleon John (North East Stars).

Free kick Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Here is my list of those ten players that i talked about who are off the radar. 3- M - Russell Teibert | CAN / Vancouver Whitecaps FC 4- CB- Dejan Jaković | USA / D.C. United 7- M - Terry Dunfield | CAN / Toronto FC 10- F- Lucas Cavallini | URU / Club Nacional 11- FB- Marcel de Jong | GER / FC Augsburg 12- M- Jonathan Beaulieu-Bourgault | 14- M/F- Evan James | CAN / Impact Montréal 15- CB- Doneil Henry | CAN / Toronto FC 16- M- Pedro Pacheco | POR / CD Santa Clara 20- M - Patrice Bernier | CAN / Impact Montréal And, my take on their prospects to sneak in as one or two of the Sept callups: Good chance: 20- M - Patrice Bernier | CAN / Impact Montréal - (Good chance IMO. Has scored goals in MLS from a MF role. And we lack that on teh national side) 4- CB- Dejan Jaković | USA / D.C. United - (The only danger is that the back line has played well and there may be no room for him) Outside shot: 11- FB- Marcel de Jong | GER / FC Augsburg - (With Kluka, Morgan, and Jazic where is he going fit.) 12- M- Jonathan Beaulieu-Bourgault - (Hart has already seen him so he knows whatbhe can do) 7- M - Terry Dunfield | CAN / Toronto FC| (Coaches seem to like player who work their butts off. regardless of their talent) 16- M- Pedro Pacheco | POR / CD Santa Clara (In the games i have seen, he has looked Ok) Unlikely: 15- CB- Doneil Henry | CAN / Toronto FC (Numbers Game and more experience d men are available to Stephen hart) 10- F- Lucas Cavallini | URU / Club Nacional (Looked good at U23's but its a big risk going with him when we need goals and he has no experience at this level. also, very little is known from his professional env) Highly unlikely: 3- M - Russell Teibert | CAN / Vancouver Whitecaps FC ( why on earth? he is getting no professional minutes. But, unlike the next guy, at least he looked good at the U20 and U23 levels) WTF: 14- M/F- Evan James | CAN / Impact Montréal (Ok-as i have begun to suspect since the last U20 tea-, now i know that club politics have crept into the national selection process. This is the selection to please the Impact because this player did not particularly standout at teh U23's, he was OK..... barely i guess. I fear from what i have seen in the last 2-3 year on the national scene that the NT programs are becoming like a first ministers conference whereby the coaches are like the PM who is dishing out perks to this province/constituency and that province/constituency and trying to please everyone instead of doing whats right and on merit. Cant call too many TFC players regardless of merit or else the coaches will be lableled Toronto centric) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 ^ De Jong, when healthy, is better than Klukowski and much better than Jazic or Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a great lineup if we were in a long break before the next round or not in WCQ. However, we have two extremely important WCQ matches coming up and this is a FIFA date. We should have called our best players. It would have been nice to get our full A squad. Let's look at who is missing. Starters: Hutch, McKenna, Occean, Edgar,Jackson, DeRo(?) Subs: Issey, Klukowski, Hume Am I missing anyone? Mckenna is injured Issey, Klukowski, and Occean are getting acclimatizing to their new clubs Hume may have been left in the UK to sort himself out. That leaves Jackson, Hutchinson, and Edgar... They are likely the players he had trouble getting released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Bob Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Teibert's a quality player; I'm not saying "call him up for Panama" but I think if he gets a run wide left at a Trinidad-and-Tobago-level defense some of you who haven't seen him often will be pleasantly surprised.
