I cannot imagine Osorio, Morgan, Chapman or even Ricketts being selected if there's a remote chance TFC can still make the playoffs. No way.

I don't even think we'd call Telfer. He's always making the bench and TFC aren't going to want even their bench options diminished, let alone their starters.

I could see Fraser, maybe, and maybeee Hamilton now that Jansen is at the club and doing well.

Any of the TFC 2 guys could be options, but I don't think Herdman calls any of them. We have a lot of other options and Dominica, while a minnow, is not USVI.

I don't remember TFC playing during an international break (or in this case, the day after) in years, maybe even a decade. This adds an interesting, unexpected wrinkle to Herdman's roster selection, even if only Osorio should be considered for the starting XI.

In my mind it hadn't been that long. Though perhaps longer than I thought ... looking at the past schedules, the most recent (and perhaps most egregious) example was TFC playing during in Seattle on September 5, 2015 - the day after Canada played a World Cup Qualifier versus Belize on September 4 at BMO, and 3 days before the return leg in Belize!

Have to imagine roster and camp details will be released Friday. Any rumblings? 

The roster for Canada's upcoming CONCACAF Nations League qualifier vs the US Virgin Islands will be unveiled on Thursday morning / early afternoon (depending on your time zone). #canMNT

Wow. Not going to lie, I was not expecting this.

A few people on there I am now going to have to look up! A fun weekend of make up rosters coming up.

For anyone who's been ripping on Herdman, this squad should cause you to give your head a shake. Canada needs to dominate to ensure their Gold Cup qualification is secured, and this roster reflects that.

This squad contains arguably our best 11, with lots of opportunities to cap tie promising U23 players. And if you want pride in the maple leaf, note that Will Johnson and his "I don't like playing at the Gold Cup" attitude is not in the squad.

Would have liked to see Stephen Eustaquio in the squad, but I think Zambrano fucked that up royally.
