RS Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 15 hours ago, Obinna said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Chad_Impact Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Wow I'm excited for this roster. Hopefully Busti, Millar and Brault-Guillard can all get some minutes and be cap tied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrenaline11 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 No Petrasso or Atiba either but can't really complain as this is a really solid lineup. About as close to our best 23 as we can get, minus injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Remember earlier this year when some people were concerned that players wouldn't want to play for a women's coach? That was a thing right? I'm not imagining it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C. Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Terrific roster. A bit surprised to see Ricketts and Akindele, given the talent load we have up front. Otherwise, I'm pretty impressed. Congrats to Crepeau and the kiddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 We are starting to see some quality depth in our squads which has been missing for years, just look at our goal scoring options here, hopefully some young defenders stake their claim as well!

Shway Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The only thing I can complain about now is that we only play 1 game. Where a squad of this magnitude would need 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottsy3 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Who starts at RB? Seems like Brault-Guillard is the only RB on the roster but it seems odd to toss him right into the 11. I really hope that Henry isn’t moved to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
