CONCACAF 2020 Olympic qualifying: All team and tournament news and info

Schedule is out..

https://www.concacaf.com/en/olympic...ic-qualifying-championship-schedule-confirmed

 

With this schedule Costa Rica is a must win.

 

Who here can help @ussoccer97531 quickly rank the 400 players on the 8 provisional rosters to be released tomorrow? Wish I could help, but I'll be swamped until someone else does all the work. Thanks, guys!

 

I see five goalkeepers on the list, four of whom I recognize - Ochoa, Freese, Marcinkowski, and Scott. Who is Drake Callender, and is he related to Roman, Julius or Gregory?

 

non-binding meaning we can still use players not on this list?

 

Looking at Mexico and US roster I see one player for them is on a Euro team and 15 for us. Also Efrain Alvarez is not named to their provisional roster (or US either).

 

Reformatting the US list for (my) convenience:

5 Goalkeepers

2 Goalkeeper David Ochoa 16-Jan-01 Real Salt Lake

surprised by the number of typos...

 

If you knew me you would not be surprised, though I doubt too many are mine, as I mostly copied and pasted, then deleted middle names, etc. Lennon is spelled Lennon and Lenon on the list, so I chose Lennon - my preference. Not sure how Brooks spells his last name. [Note to self that there's a mini-gold mine of middle names to work with later.]

 

not you at all, i had the official release open. pretty interested in this richie dedesma kid...

 

haha, I’m sure he still has Andrew Carleton as the far better prospect than Alphonso Davies.

 

To be fair after Andrew Carleton absolutely decimated Paraguay in the u17 World Cup it was hard to not argue that he was a massive prospect. If he wasn't an idiot and if Atlanta actually cared about developing american homegrown's Carleton would probably be a lock for the Olympic team right now.
Atlanta letting Carleton hang around Brek Shea was his downfall.

 

Believe me, I have not thought once about what you might think since the last time you displayed your rage towards me, but it’s weird to know that you care what I think.

Davies is a talented player and has taken extremely well to LB. Good for him, but I don’t care that much. I’m not Canadian.

Carleton is also an extremely talented player. I don’t know the validity of what you stated. I wouldn’t assume anything you said is true, but I’ll if I said that, I don’t have reason to not stand by it.

I can’t control which players are given chances and when. I don’t control how teams use their players. Who becomes what is irrelevant to the ability they show.

the fall of jona sheesh

 

Not seeing Jonathan Gonzalez on the team is a gigantic dub for ussoccer

 

I mean, perhaps he wasn't released?

Does anyone that knows anything about Mexican soccer want to make an estimation of this roster?

I know, and have never been overly impressed by, Uriel Antuna, though he's a good get for the U23 level. That's about all. There are names that sound familiar, but I don't know anyone's game.

 

all i know is he rarely plays for monterrey

 

Macias can definitely put the ball in the net. Had 19 goals for Leon during the 2019 calendar year, and has 4 goals in 7 matches so far for Chivas during the Calusura. He should be in Europe by January.
