Canadian Pride Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I think Haber still deserves a spot on the team. He plays in a decent league and is still at a good age where he can contribute for the next world cup cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I could see Haber making the team, but only if Cavallini wants out. I`d be shocked that Haber makes it in the way Zambrano talks about it. And he`s not pulling Jackson or Larin for Haber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Maybe I'm just bad at watching soccer, but I generally fail to see what value Jakovic offers the team as a starter other than a relatively decent ability to make the simple pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel comfortable with any of these guys currently in our back line pool for this tourney. Unless OZ decides to go against his grain and decide to park a bus, I could see Borjan facing a lot of shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 It looks like Akindele wasn't cut according to him, but it was a deal between the CSA and FC Dallas for him to play the scrimmage on Thursday and play in MLS on Saturday. I'm guessing it could be similar for Lefèvre, so I wouldn't be shocked if they make the 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it - another faith-restoring-in-the-coach bit of news about one of our players that I had to discover here rather than from the media (they did report the Osorio injury news eventually, but several days after it was reported here).

Gian-Luca Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Speaking of Akindele, this mls website article lists him and Teibert as players who's stock has dropped for inclusion in the Gold Cup roster. However, as worthy as this person's opinion might be, unless you can make a change in the 40 man roster at this stage (and I didn't think you could) I don't see how Hamilton's stock has risen even if he scores three consecutive hat-tricks over the next three games: https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017/06/19/stock-stock-down-gold-cup-edition-whos-making-case-us-canmnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addona Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Every time I read an interview with Tesho, I like him more .... so well spoken, says all the right things, seems like a really good guy with a good head on his shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Good to hear. This makes a lot more sense. Tesho is a solid MLS player. Hard to imagine he got cut because Zambrano never thought he was good enough, but it's a new coach who may have a different opinion. Can understand why people may have thought it was a cut, but happy to hear it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have been critical of his play in Qatar, or that he hasn't gotten more Championship minutes at QPR, but he is a player that can be dangerous and anytime we have dangerous attackers selected I think it's a good day. I am sure I'm not the only one who hoped he'd be further along in his development, he's still only 22, under contract to a decent Championship side, and has quite a bit experience in league one. Zambrano must really believe in him to select him for the Gold Cup without bringing him to Montreal for final audition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
