Cavillini has to see the pitch against his countrymen.  He deserves that for sure

You want Cavallini to play against Canada? He was born and raised here.

Our formation against a top side will be a clue to Belgium and Croatia on how we’d play against them, especially if we don’t see much of the ball.  Herdman will need to drill some basics with the starting 11 for 60 minutes or so.  Closed door would actually be better!

the starters want to be in the field against Uruguay- unlikely to see the subs starting 

 

 

Caldwell mentioned that we were playing a bit more vertical and less positional than usual against Qatar. I expect that has most to do with thinking about how to play our world cup opposition. Should be interesting to see how that works against Uruguay. 

Otherwise it’s our only match against top opposition so you have to think Herdman will play what he thinks is his best for as long as makes sense.

If my memory serves me correct, Cavallini's background is Argentinean despite having played in Uruguay. 

[cornerkick]

Uruguay highlight from last game by Nunez... we probably shouldn't give him too much space or time 😮

 

 

[Cadeau]

If we should beat Uruguay...Oh the hope I'll have for Qatar!

Isn't his wife's side of the family from Uruguay?  

I thought his wife and kid(s)? were born in Uruguay but could be wrong.

It’s a joke because he said he wished he played for Uruguay years back to a Uruguayan outlet when he was playing there.

The crazy side affect of Uefa Nations League is all these other nations playing in Europe in front of no fans

This will probably be the biggest opponant we have faced in a while and will be interesting on how we do approach this friendly. LOOKING forward to it

Were there any pics from training yesterday? Assuming they didn’t have a day off given the caption?

There was the picture of Tajon, which I assume was yesterday

In one of the TSN videos I linked to it was indicated that yesterday was a “regeneration” day for the team since it was the day after a game, so I expect only the players who didn’t play like Tajon would have done any training yesterday

Yes he is from BsAs-Mendoza as for Borjan who is a player who came within our youth system, 

[RS]

He's actually from Toronto.

Man you really see how important it is to have those duals come to you first.  Koleosho is a part of the guys there. Flores and mitrovic never had that.  Love the way he's part of the team

I can't get the stupid audio to work and I don't have the same lip-reading skills as HAL 9000, but this TSN video appears to feature Luke Wileman claiming that Davies is out for tomorrow, despite the fact that he's dancing to hip hop in the video:
