The service Arfield and Hoilett can deliver to Larin is titulating, and given what highlights I've seen of Larin this season or last, all he needs is a half second to get one off.

Should hopefully give Mexico enough trouble to make sure we aren't under fire in the box all 90 minutes. Maybe we could even score a goal 

Props for incorporating the word titulating into a post. One of his goals this season already was just outside the 18, he had the ball for less than a second.

Anyone have an approximate time for the roster to be released? I assume it will be either noon east or noon west coast time.

Will probably be 1pm West coast time.. The game is in the West and the Jersey release is in the West.. So will be late this afternoon for East coast people

I tweeted CSA last night asking what time.  They didn't really answer a time.  Just said jersey unveiling will be first and roster announcement later.   I would agree that it will probably be 1pm on the west coast.

Okay this is getting a little ridiculous. That can't even give us a time of when it might be?!

[king1010]

can't wait any longer. 

the suspense is killing me

[JamboAl]

Wait a second, we're getting yet ANOTHER new kit?  How many variations of red can there be?

I asked straight up what time.   The response did not have a time in it.  Just the order things are happening.  You would think the time would be pretty much set in stone since they are unveiling the new kit. Wouldn't a mini press conference be scheduled?

I did along with a few other pieces of Canada gear.

I just hope the trend of custom jerseys continue, and we don't go back to the standard umbro templates where I can make my own bootleg CSA jersey at half the price lol. 

[Keegan]

If the new kit is on par with our current one I'll be pleasantly surprised.  Of course we all wish it would be a red/white kit in the blue centennial style but screw demand right?  

Honestly, how funny is it that Canada Soccer can never sell gear and then they finally get a shirt that sells out (blue centennial) and they never produce more or release a kit in the same vein?  Okay, we get it was cool that you limited sales and pushed demand at the time... but seriously time to cash in on that and pump those blue kits anywhere and everywhere.  That is the type of kit that anyone would wear, whether it be a celebrity with little/no knowledge of CMNT (i.e. Drake) or a foreign football fan just looking to collect kits.  Expand our brand and image.

Yes it is.

The way the CSA tries to milk these announcements by waiting until as late as possible is super annoying.

They are probably just waiting to hear back from Cavallini.  :-)

Jersey release at 1pm EST.

As for what kind of jersey it will be, I've said it before, the person or persons at the CSA In charge of picking these kits definitely likes understated and simple, as we have seen for the last few years. I imagine this one will be very similar. Maybe a few unique design features, very red, with a little white trim.

Last minute inclusion???? 

Cristante is that you??! 

[shorty]

Last minute negotiations to secure Cristante:   CSA commits that the new kit would include a baseball cap.  It's being embroidered as we speak.

Not expecting any surprises, wouldn't the CSA have been hyping and teasing Arfield? or anyone else. #prepare to be disappointed.
