In its first fixture since its catastrophic exit from World Cup qualifying, the men's national team will take on Denmark in a friendly in Tucson, Arizona on Saturday, Jan. 26, the CSA announced Monday.
The game takes place outside the FIFA international calendar, making it highly unlikely that any Canadians who play in European leagues with a winter schedule (e.g. England, the Netherlands, Germany) will be there. Of course, the main purpose of the friendly would be to get a look at young, domestic-based players anyway, so that's not really of great concern.
No official word yet on who will serve as head coach of the Canadian side (my guess would be current U20 head coach Nick Dasovic, on an interim basis) or whether the game will be broadcast (not especially likely). But at least a few members of the Voyageurs are already planning to be in attendance, in addition to theorizing around which youngsters will get some time for the senior national team.

We've seen the likes of Lucas Cavallini, Russell Teibert, Doneil Henry and Evan James earn call-ups to the men's national team this year. So the question is, which youngsters do you think should and/or will get the call for Canada on Jan. 26?
