Sam Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Anyone else surprised Denmark agreed to play us? I guess it is a non-FIFA date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Anyone else surprised Denmark agreed to play us? I guess it is a non-FIFA date. The USA has done similar matches in the past, I expect both squads to be B teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstyles11 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 yeah it will be made up of players from the Danish league, probably. they probably have a winter break. the other scandinavian teams do it semi-regularly during their offseasons also.

Yohan Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Well, at least CSA actually scheduled a friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Style Pilsner1555362318 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm perfectly happy for two B-ish sides to show up. Gives us a chance to evaluate some fringe players to see if they're ready for the next level against a decent opponent even as a B side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Good, now that is what I am talking about. Would have liked to see a Latin American opponent but I am not unhappy to play a team of that quality (even though it will be a "B" friendly). Edit: Looks like Denmark are in Arizona to play Mexico on the 30th. I guess the CSA was opportunistic and booked them as well. http://www.bigsoccer.com/community/threads/friendly-mexico-vs-denmark-01-30-2013.1977689/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Since its U-21 and players from the danish league, this really needs to be a whole NEW generation of players, with exception of the some Milan Borjan David Monsalve Ashtone Morgan Doneil Henry André Hainault Russel Teibert Dejan Jaković David Edgar Andrés Fresenga Nikolas Ledgerwood Julian de Guzman Will Johnson Atiba Hutchinson Samuel Piette Keven Aleman Matt Stinson Randy Edwini-Bonsu Tosaint Ricketts Simeon Jackson Marcus Haber Lucas Cavallini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm going. Anyone else committed yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Style Pilsner1555362318 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'd replace JDG with DiChiara who now plays in Hungary. We know what JDG brings to the table, but havent seen DiChiara at the senior level. GK is a tough fill for this match. A couple who I'd be interested in seeing Michal Misiewicz and Simon Thomas are currently without club, maybe Genoa would be willing to release Robert Stillo for the match as I don't think Sivasspor would be willing to let Milan go for a non-FIFA friendly. Other than that I like the look of what you suggest Jahinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm going. Anyone else committed yet? I may be in Los Angeles around that time. If the game is during the day, I'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I may be in Los Angeles around that time. If the game is during the day, I'll be there. It's at 1 PM local time on Saturday, January 26 (the CSA just tweeted a date correction, which luckily is slightly more convenient for me.)

Shway Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'd replace JDG with DiChiara Geeze, totally forgot about him! I agree 100%. This friendly should serve the purpose of those who needs to prove themselves in order to make the gold cup team. my biggest fear is that old players who have been out (issey, for an example) will be called to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 This is what I would like to see (considering Euro based players who will not be available): Lars Stama Roberts Morgan Tiebert Henry Jakovic Hainualt Ledgerwood Fresenga Johnson Piette Aleman Alderson Saiko DeRosario deGuzman Ricketts Cavallini Clarke Porter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 ^My good friend Porter i would add for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 ^My good friend Porter i would add for sure Yup, for sure. He is still relatively young and he puts up good numbers in NASL. Same with Saiko. At times, I find myself biased against NASL guys (I like to think we are passed the "Adam Braz" days of calling in multiple players at that level) but the reality is we need more depth and truth be told fans would be clamoring to bring in these players if they were putting up the same numbers in England League 2 or the Finnish top flight. So considering they are both 22 and 23 offensive players putting up good numbers I think this should be our chance to see what they can do.

Obinna Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I like this but would like to see Hamilton from FC Edmonton get the call as well. I debated slotting him in there and would not be unhappy for him to get a call (wasn't he named to the NASL best 11 this year?). My only knock against him is that he is already 24, and I would prefer to see those minutes go to a player like Henry. To be fair though, defenders have a longer life span, so perhaps we could bring him in at the expense of Hainualt or Jakovic who are known quantities to us. I admit I have seen very very little of him, he is a CB but can anyone give more of an analysis? Is he more akin to Hainualt (rugged with average ball skill and passing) or is he more akin to Jakovic (good passer, okay physicality)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAl Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm happy we got a competitive match of some sort. Even if it's a B friendly, I'm sure the Danes playing in the Scandinavian leagues will be of a decent standard. I'd call up anyone who has decent potential and is in a winter break or off season.

hamiltonfan Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hell ya. Massive props to the CSA for lining this one up..keep it up. I'd be very interested in going. for all those in southern ontario or close to any boarder for that matter, keep an eye our for discount airfairs from near by usa cities (buffalo always has cheaper domestic flights) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very interested in going. for all those in southern ontario or close to any boarder for that matter, keep an eye our for discount airfairs from near by usa cities (buffalo always has cheaper domestic flights) There were sales for Phoenix from YYZ back in September. I see nothing good now. Tucson will be more expensive to get to because you have to connect in Phoenix or another US city. EDIT: The lowest I see from Toronto YYZ right now is $455 The lowest I see from Buffalo is $397 Decent prices but not a bargain... EDIT 2: I see $201 from Seattle. Lord Bob, book now! Vancouverites if you carpool to Seattle and hop on the same flight this is a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
