BuzzAndSting Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 So reports out there that Marcus Haber and David Edgar have been called for the June games against Dominica. No surprises with these two. It's still early but any other info out there? I would imagine the official roster will be out June 4th, the Thursday before the first game as per the CSA usual timeline.

BuzzAndSting Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Larin scored AGAIN tonight. You figure he has to be there although I haven't looked at Orlando schedule. Edit: Orlando is at home on Sunday the 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nailuj Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Larin scored AGAIN tonight. So did Opare. Hope to see him in a red shirt soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If canada wants him there mls cant hold him back. Time for MLS to become a big boy league and respect the fifa calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Sam Adekugbe left tonight's game in obvious pain, hopefully that doesn't affect his potential call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince193 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 While I'll never fault a man for loving Canada, I'm still not much of a Haber fan. Edgar is a given. I hope we see an Aird or someone similar get called in to get cap-tied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we see an Aird or someone similar get called in to get cap-tied. Haber has been our best european striker this year. The man deserves a call up. As for Aird, he's fallen off a bit this year, playing for Rangers U20 instead of the full team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'm very up and down on Haber, but this is an up period for me. He is full value for a call up and has put together some good preformances for club and country recently. I don't particularly like that we bring in guys from 3rd tier, even if England's is amongst the best - but more and more I am placing more emphasis on whether or not they are putting the ball in the net (which he is). Costa Rica and Honduras have domestic players who are scoring at a similar (or truth be told - inferior) level of play - so who cares really...

shermanator Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Haber is the best European-based striker we have in right now. Would be sheer idiocy to not call him up. Also, from what I understand Opare is not eligible right now. Not only that but I rank him behind Edgar, Hainault (who has played CB before) and Jaokvic I imagine we see a few U-23's as the senior camps are being used to evaluate the roster so that means Gasparotto and James will most likely be at camp as well.

I don't think we'll see U23s unless they actually make the team at this stage. James has had a good look and it seems he's part of the plan.

Obinna Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Exactly. Floro said he will call the best team possible for this round. If they are U23 like James than so be it. Would be shocked to see Gasparotto. My prediction for the backs are Edgar Morgan de Jong Hainault Jakovic James Ledgerwood Ouimette might squeeze in if Ledgerwood is listed as a midfielder. Morgan looks poised to earn selection ahead of Adekugbe. De Jong's injury might open a door for him however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince193 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I don't really know about Hainault. He was hurt and since then has been riding the bench a bit for a pretty bad Aalen team. When was the last time he played? Against Colombia. Don't know really what to make of him recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah he seems to be on the fence but for me he's not on the outside looking in yet. Henry's absence helps him out this round - Otherwise I think he's really battling with James for one of those CB spots. Out of Henry/Edgar/Jakovic/Hainualt I think his spot is the least secure despite having the most experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 is De Jong injured? Also how seriously was adekugbe hurt last night? Borjan has solidified his number 1 spot. He has been absolutely on fire in Serbia helping his team move from last place to mid table. Hopefully he puts on a good show at the Gold Cup and attracts some attention from bigger clubs/ leagues.

Would be cool if a Liga MX team picked him up (or an MLS team of course) Yeah de Jong is day-to-day with some kind of strain. Hamstring maybe?

Vince193 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I think Morgan will start for us against Dominica. Certainly has earned that. Floro might have talked with Vermees and rest is probably good for De Jong before the GC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Province says Sam injured his knee going up for a header and the he'll likely "be out for a while." Robinson is quoted as saying "Sam doesn't look good right now."

baulderdash77 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 If Akindele accepts the call then I imagine our attacking players are going to be Larin, Haber, Akindele and Ricketts with REB as a maybe In Midfield I doubt that Johnson gets called up since he hasn't played first team minutes since his injury. So we're probably looking at Hutchinson, De Guzman, Osorio, Teibert, Ledgerwood, Piette and Bekker This could be the best team we've called up in a number of years with all our key players except Henry and Johnson healthy to play.

jpg75 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 If Bekker gets called I hope he doesn't play. Doesn't play much for Dallas and when he does he's garbage. But, but, he's a dead-ball god! Having Bekker on the field is like defending with 10 1/2 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 What worries me is that Larin and Akindele don't really score without service. Because of that, I think you REALLY need Osorio to start, maybe as a CAM or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingback6 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 What,specifically has Osorio done outside of one remarkable season to suggest for even a second that he can be relied on to provide service to other players? From what I have seen that is not exactly his strength. The kid has ONE, read it ONE remarkable season and he gets a free pass for life? He's ok, not great. Definitely has a nice touch, and dribbling ability, but he relies on other players to make the big plays. Despite what some of you on here choose not to accept, service is more of Bekker's department. And I seem to recall some on here saying Morgan was crap a year ago when he couldn't get a game for TFC. De Jong was so much better, even Adekugbe. And now where are those two? So cut Bekker some slack. He tends to play well for Canada. So did Gerba. Yet nobody on here had any trouble with him playing for CMNT, even when he hadn't played a club game in two years. Double standards people.

Keegan Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Wingback you are calling out how Osorio has had one remarkable season, when he's only had 2 seasons... and honestly I thought he was better in 2014 than 2013 despite numbers. Osorio's strength is his distribution.. look at Defoe's first goal last season where he served it up or Altidore's goal last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
