Yeah, I'd say. That's a pretty damn good lineup right there. That makes me want to go watch them in person. I thought they were just going to bring a bunch of backups but Cardozo, Gamarra, Cabanas... I think I should go see this in person.

[Canadian_Supporter]

A North American based national team of Canada will be in Florida for a training camp from Jan 13-22. They are supposed to play a few exhibition matches during the camp. Nothing has been announced as of yet.

Yeah, sounds pretty good game, the only player you are missing from Paraguay is Roque Santacruz, does anyone know what happen to him?
