I like!

Junior over Larin the right call I think. He can be a 3rd CM if needed

I don't know which channel but you can stream the Canada pregame on the TSN site.

Looks like a defensive setup with Davies and Laryea as WBs. If that's the formation, then I think Herdman has made the most appropriate selections, including Laryea.

Who is missing from the bench?

[youllneverwalkalone]

I saw Doneil get off the bus, which is a nice touch. Big reason we are here today.

What do you mean? There are 11 starters and 15 bench players listed. All 26.

I count 15 so full bench

Didn’t count - thought we could only suit up 23.

Wpuld not be surprised if we bunker for 60 min. Let them waste energy and then punch them

I'm very happy that Junior got in over Larin, but I'm pretty shocked at Adekube getting left off. I guess Herdman doesn't want Davies or Adekube playing on their off side?

Isn’t that what Iran tried to do?

I hope not.

Case in point with the Spain game.  Okay lineup, time for Richie to work the smoke.
