shorty Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 No word yet. I'm super impatient! Have to admit, something about this tweet made me wonder at the time if the announcement was going to be delayed: Canada Soccer @CanadaSoccerEN 45m45 minutes ago Stay tuned.... we'll announce #CANMNT squad for FIFA World Cup Qualifiers later this afternoon.

shorty Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Not saying it is. Just saying something about the wording made me think it was not necessarily going to be at the announced time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Maybe Osorio was included and the CSA needed to stop, take benito somewhere quiet and check he was alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oranje Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 4 minutes ago, BuzzAndSting said: I disagree. I've questioned Floro's judgement before but remained loyal. If Larson is correct and Will is not in this camp because he only recently returned from injury I will be very disappointed. Why? He probably only just started training at 100%. Don't get me wrong, I'd have WJ in my roster 100% of the time if he was fully fit, but if he isn't we have a deep enough roster to get two results. The Hex starts in November, last thing we'd want is for WJ to put too many KMs on his foot that it gets worse and we are missing him for the first round.

Will at 80 or 90% is better than some of the other options we have. Will is the kind of guy who even if he isn't 100% match fit I would trust as a sub in the last few minutes of a tight game.

Based on form, a cadre of Larin, Ricketts, Akindele, and Jackson are equally as attractive to me as Cavallini anyway. Maybe the argument can be made that he suits the formation or he has SA experience, but 7 goals in 25 appearance isn't exactly show stopping (yeah I know you're kidding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to win in order to get to the hex. So I would rather use up some of Johnson's KM now and let him miss the first round of the hex if it means he gets us to the hex.

All we know is he definitely isn't 100%, he could be just over 50% for all we know. Bad example, but he broke his foot in the last minutes of a tight game (as he won the cup for TFC ), but my thoughts are that Floro doesn't see us being in that situation due to the depth of our midfield, to his genius or downfall...

toontownman Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Canada Soccer @CanadaSoccerEN 4m45 minutes ago We apologise for the delay in the squad announcement. As per usual practice, the CSA just had to check to confirm that the whitecaps still hate Canada #CANMNT *Canada soccer never said this just for the record. This is a voyageurs board epidemic only* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree that we should be going for 2 draws, just based on previous matches, I wouldn't be surprised if that's Floro's thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrennanFan Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 This will be the exact same roster as the Mexico roster, except for Hume (out of season) and deGuzman, Henry, and now perhaps Johnson being replaced due to injury. Jackson is in for Hume. Petrasso and Teibert seem likely options. The Johnson spot, if necessary, will go to a rookie who will have no chance at seeing the pitch: Chapman or Hamilton.

Floro has been waiting outside since 9am EST. Victor, who was out partying all night with the CanWNT again, rolls in bleary-eyed at 12:45. Has been waiting for the wifi to kick in since then. Floro muttering Spanish curses and making a mental note not to accept the Whitecaps coaching job that Lenarduzzi told him would be coming up soon.
