No more Floro and Osorio is back on the roster. http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/10/02/eight-mls-players-called-canada-national-team-roster
From what I read, this is a chance for some of the players more on the fringe of the CMNT to get their chance to show how they could fit into the picture.
I wouldn't describe that roster as "fringe" overall but it does include some fringe players and omit some regulars.
Here is the answer: But seriously, "Adekugbe, Chapman, Johnson, McKendry, Petrasso and Teibert were invited to #CanMNT camp, but unavailable through injuries."— Mike Martignago (@MikeMartignago) September 30, 2016 ______________ The biggest miss will of course be Atiba. I understand why he might have declined though it's a shame not to have him.
I wonder with this "evolution" that has been talked about, whether or not they'll go with the same-old 4-1-4-1 or try something different. Does canada have the personnel to try a 4-3-3?
Not sure how long this will be up for but here's the full match. Canada did, in fact, line up in a 4-3-3.
I could get used to seeing Canada score lines like that! I realize Mauritania is ranked 96 but we're ranked 103 so on that basis it should be pretty even. I know this wasn't our all out, strongest possible line up. Does anyone know Mauritania well enough to comment on how strong a team they put forward?
So the same as Canada then? Seriously, the last time we played them we tied 0-0. What was different about this time?
