ESPN does not have the rights to US home games. Fox does 

The host federation holds the rights to the games of their team

So Fox won the domestic broadcast but the USSF can sell the game tho whoever they want from outside the US

 

So MediaPro got all Canada home games but the CSA controls who gets those games overseas

So in the end it will just be Jiminez missing, who's already been missing for the past 18 months or whatever?

In other words, nothing changes lol

Nothing changes from what the red list countries were before. If Jamaica wants to use their UK players in their home match with Panama, they can. But they won’t be able to travel to Mexico or Costa Rica.

Cavallini?

Yeah strange.  No Arfield either 

[Floortom]

Cavallini?!

obviously Arfield is done with international football at this point.

no Millar, Corbeanu or Tesho - a bit of a thin group tbh

[canuckgbp]

Fraser instead of Arfield? 

[Shway]

Please no more mentions of the “GrEaT” Arfield. 

Solid squad nevertheless….no new faces.

[Atlantic]

It’s pretty inexcusable to not bring 26 players, it’s 3 games per window 

[frattinator]

Is Cav recovered from his injury? 

[toontownman]

Sad no newcomers but solid squad

As someone who usually defends the CSA, I am on board with this post. 

[Shway]

There’s definitely going to be standby guys, but the CSA gets buttfuck about releasing their names during this release.

No way we didn’t learn from the challenges we faced during the GC. There’s definitely more guys…why they don’t get named initially is beyond me.

How is Cavalini selected, he hasn’t played any games?

[canuckgbp]

Cavallini must be on the secret sauce

He’s ruled out of Vancouver’s next matches before the break ..so I don’t see how he’s fully recovered

He is back training way ahead of schedule. Seems silly to pick him though. 

Maybe Jebbison declined and they would rather take Cav than the other options.

Do we need Liam FRaserand Piette? Think Liam Millar is deserving of a call. 

[trc2014]

It’s actually a 22 man roster + injured player

Biggest omission for me is Millar.

Plus disappointed no dual national committed.

[theaub]

I have no doubt there will be some additional guys, will wait until the Herdman presser before getting the knife out.

I didn’t speak to anyone who said he would be, but it seems like there’s more than a few who believe he’s in. I know it’s a contradictory statement, but there’s optimism.

Egg not on my face?

I think both Millar and Corbeanu aren't called because they are trying to settle into a new team? Would've preferred Tesho tbh just as cover.

Where can we watch his press conference today?

[youllneverwalkalone]

No time to be fucking around here. Need our best that we've been building with to date. Ok with the squad.

Maybe they brought him along for the sole purpose of standing on the halfway line and staring down the other team during warmups.  Those crazy eyes would intimidate most people.
