I'm trying to figure out who are the big names not on this list

Forge's Khadim Kane probably had among the most minutes out of any u20 eligible player and he's not on this team.

Edit: Also no Mataeo Bunbury.

Is it supposed to be 21 or 23 players? 

[InglewoodJack]

Not that I expected his name there, but too bad Grady McDonnell isn’t on this list either. 

[Nate3322]

 Gherasimencov of the Whitecaps II is a big miss imo he looked quite good last year in MLSNP. I'm kinda worried we'll lose him to Moldova

LDF? He hasn't been on Fulham's bench for sometime. Perhaps he's injured. JKL has been on the Bristol bench a lot so his club probably said no.

Glad to see Jesse Costa is still accepting calls to the NT.   

I imagine that Lazar Stefanovic and Adam Pearlman will be the starting CBs, as they play together at TFC II.

JKL isn't eligible he's like 1 week too old

JKL is too old and LDF was back on the bench for Fulham on Saturday

He's currently injured

[InglewoodJack]

Another one is that Bulgarian dual nat striker with I think Juventus- Berbishov (sp?), not sure if he’s too young, but I’ve heard he’s quite good.

Ah good to know thanks

This line-up is much better then I thought ot would be. Surprised by the number of European guys on the list.

Possibly injured.

Wasn't in the squad on the weekend for his club

[Kadenge]

I assume Myles Morgan & Christian Greco-Taylor are no longer part of the TFC & VW programs respectively as they are listed as unattached.

Looks cool. I expect nothing with a pickup team. 

[Fullback]

I predict we will win all our games and everybody will still be negative and grouchy anyway

He has been on the bench for the past 2 fulham games.

Very excited to see some duals give canada love. 

Codinha, costa, ciccarelli and lopez are the main guys im excited to see.

Ranking the squad for CMNT contributions in the future. 
1. stefanovic
2. Costa
3. stewart baines
4. tavernier

Horribly wild guessing on the above. Anyone else care to weigh in?

A few missing but much stronger looking that I was expecting! 

As mentioned, it's hard to have any expectations placed on a team that will have a handful of days to get to know each other and perform.

The saving grace is that since they gather together this Friday, they will have about a week to practice.  Hopefully playing Dominica and then St. Vincent first, will allow them time to gel before facing T&T in the final game.

Tahid was a slam dunk pick really. Is he injured? Also interesting that Kozlovskiy's been a part of the U15, U17 and U20 cycles this past year.

Kozlovskiy is 15 turning 16, that's impressive!

Like everyone else, I thought so too.

It's all on paper but I got the opposite feeling.

He would have had to file his one time switch towards Canada, which, unsurprisingly, he obviously didn't do.
