    Guest

    ccs-3097-140264007653_thumb.jpgAfter much theorizing and speculating, we finally know who'll be traveling to Greece with the men's national team for the friendly next Wednesday. The 18-man roster is as follows:

    [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]

    1- GK- Lars Hirschfeld | NOR / Vålerenga Fotball

    2- D- Jaime Peters | ENG / Ipswich Town FC

    3- M- Marcel de Jong | GER / FC Augsburg

    4- D- Dejan Jakovic | USA / DC United

    6- M- Nik Ledgerwood | GER / SV Wehen Wiesbaden

    7- M- Pedro Pacheco | POR / CD Santa Clara

    8- M- Will Johnson | USA / Real Salt Lake

    9- F- Rob Friend | GER / Hertha BSC

    10- F- Simeon Jackson | ENG / Norwich City FC

    11- D- David Edgar | ENG / Burnley FC

    12- D- Adam Straith | GER / FC Energie Cottbus

    13- M- Atiba Hutchinson | NED / PSV Eindhoven

    14- M- Dwayne De Rosario | CAN / Toronto FC

    15- M- Josh Simpson | TUR / Vestel Manisaspor

    16- M- Tosaint Ricketts | FC Politehnica Timiþoara

    17- F- Olivier Occean | GER / Kickers Offenbach

    22- GK- Milan Borjan | SRB / FK Rad

    D- Adrian Cann | CAN / Toronto FC

    Update Thurs. 1:50 p.m.: Kevin McKenna was originally named to the roster, but picked up an injury and will not be in the game. Head coach Stephen Hart has not confirmed his replacement, but suggested that Toronto FC's Adrian Cann or Nana Attakora may get the call.

    Update Fri. 9:46 a.m.: The CSA just confirmed, via Twitter, that Cann will be replacing McKenna.

    Two players yet to win their first senior cap (Ricketts and Borjan) and, somewhat surprisingly, three North American-based players (Johnson we already knew about, plus Jakovic and, perhaps most controversially, De Rosario).

    Stephen Hart has a conference call set for 1 p.m. ET to discuss the game. We'll have more thoughts on the lineup later today.
