mpg_29 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 1 minute ago, Rheo said: Molinaro on the roster http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/atiba-hutchinson-canada-octavio-zambrano-jamaica-friendly/ but to answer questions about "Four notable players who played for Canada at the Gold Cup are not on this roster: midfielder Scott Arfield, defender Steven Vitoria, goalkeeper Milan Borjan and forward Lucas Cavallini. None of the players refused Zambrano’s call-up. Instead, they were given this game off because their respective club seasons just started, a Canada Soccer official told Sportsnet. The same official said that Hutchinson hasn’t made any decision as to whether he’ll play for Canada in the next round of World Cup qualifying." If I remember correctly he said at the time that 2018 WCQ would "likely" be his last...so I guess that wasn't a definitive confirmation. I guess even now at 34 he is still playing at a high level...arguably the highest of any of the national team members outside of Arfield. Though I'd find it hard to believe at what..37 years old...he'd be playing in WCQ's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Nice to see Didic but would have liked to call up another new CB too. A lot of turnover in this squad from the gold cup, not sure what the point of calling a guy like jakovic is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Thought: Does the NASL matter to the MNT anymore? Beyond Ledgerwood and Jakovic, I feel like the NASL isn't rated anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't count Camp Poutine because well you don't have that many choices because you can get most of the top players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it has more to do with that and the increased number of players in MLS than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Johnson went out of the Orlando game with an injury in the first half, not sure how serious it is. With a 25 man roster however I'm not sure that they would bother to call anyone in to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 People want an end to Nasl players with the CMNT? Wel, we need some CBs, in MLS or anywhere for that matter to actually play. Our CB pool is pathetic. TFC = no Canadian CB. Montreal = Canadian CB loaned to USL. Vancouver = One Canadian CB out with season ending injury. Rest of MLS= No Canadian CBs.

BCM Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I understand Atiba probably won't be with us for WC qualifying but I hope this isn't a send off. His guidance, leadership and experience could prove to be invaluable to a young (and large) group of talented players that will be our core for the next ten years.

king1010 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Speaking of cristante. He went 75 mins today in a 1-0 home loss to roma. Atalanta were all over them in the final minutes. Were unlucky to not pick up a draw. I dont think last year was a fluke. I can see them fighting for a europa league place this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
