In this example we would have a win and 2 ties, meaning the US either gets 2 wins and a tie or whatever results, but not possible to get 6 if we get 5 Edit: wait the States are at 15 right? So I guess this is possible Edited January 25, 2022 by EJsens1 Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to me. 3 hours ago, Canucklehead69 said: Considering he's doing media shoots maskless I'm assuming Eustaquio will join us during the break Apparently Portugal is not exactly too covid protocol inclined at the moment. 3 hours ago, VinceA said: Fraser over Paton is mind-blowing to me. Feels like Herdman will play favourites instead of going with needs, in this case a player who is in mid-season form... I get the Fraser has played well against the USA and has CMNT experience angle, but I'm somewhat included to agree. At the very least I think it's a shame Paton wasn't given his chance to at least come in and be given the opportunity to stake a claim in training. 3 hours ago, ronjames said: I wonder if the camp being cancelled impacted Mitrovic's chance at a call-up? In any case, still a decent squad. I'll be content with 4 points, happy with 5 points, elated if more. Likely. I imagine he's not ready to commit yet, but may have been tempted to come in and experience a camp. He probably would have been left off the official WCQ roster though. As above if there had've been a camp I would like to think Paton would have been involved as well. 3 hours ago, Obinna said: One narrative amongst USA fans (and even our own fans to an extent) was that Canada will be more hurt by our reliance on MLS off-season players than United States, but let's take a closer look now that we have the roster: GK- Milan Borjan | SRB / FK Crvena zvezda (Red Star Belgrade)GK- Maxime Crépeau | USA / Los Angeles FC GK- Jayson Leutwiler | ENG / Oldham Athletic AFC CB- Derek Cornelius | GRE / Panetolikos FCCB- Doneil Henry | Unattached / sans club CB- Scott Kennedy | GER / SSV Jahn RegensburgCB- Kamal Miller | CAN / CF Montréal CB- Steven Vitória | POR / Moreirense FC FB- Samuel Adekugbe | TUR / Hatayspor FCFB- Cristián Gutierrez | CAN / Vancouver Whitecaps FC FB- Alistair Johnston | CAN / CF Montréal FB- Richie Laryea | ENG / Nottingham Forest FC M- Stephen Eustáquio | POR / FC PortoM- Liam Fraser | BEL / KMSK Deinze M- Atiba Hutchinson | TUR / Beşiktaş JKM- Mark-Anthony Kaye | USA / Colorado RapidsM- Jonathan Osorio | CAN / Toronto FC M- Samuel Piette | CAN / CF Montréal F- Tajon Buchanan | BEL / Club Brugge KVF- Lucas Cavallini | CAN / Vancouver Whitecaps FC F- Jonathan David | FRA / Lille OSC F- David Junior Hoilett | ENG / Reading FC F- Cyle Larin | TUR / Beşiktaş JK F- Liam Millar | SUI / FC Basel F- Iké Ugbo | BEL / KRC Genk That's 10 out of 25 players who are truly out of season, which is not entirely different from the USA (which I will get to). You can debate Laryea because he hasn't played yet for Forest, but he's been training regularly by now so let's keep him in the "in-season" list. Now let's consider the USA: GOALKEEPERS (4) Sean Johnson - New York City FC Gabriel Slonina - Chicago Fire FC Zack Steffen - Manchester City Matt Turner - New England Revolution DEFENDERS (9) Reggie Cannon - Boavista Sergiño Dest - Barcelona Brooks Lennon - Atlanta United Mark McKenzie - Genk/BEL Chris Richards - Hoffenheim Antonee Robinson - Fulham Miles Robinson - Atlanta United DeAndre Yedlin - Galatasaray Walker Zimmerman - Nashville SC MIDFIELDERS (7) Kellyn Acosta - LAFC Tyler Adams - RB Leipzig Luca de la Torre - Heracles Sebastian Lletget - New England Revolution Weston McKennie - Juventus Yunus Musah - Valencia Cristian Roldan - Seattle Sounders FC FORWARDS (8) Brenden Aaronson - Red Bull Salzburg Paul Arriola - D.C. United Jesús Ferreira - FC Dallas Jordan Morris - Seattle Sounders FC Ricardo Pepi - Augsburg Christian Pulisic - Chelsea Tim Weah - Lille Gyasi Zardes - Columbus Crew That is 13 out of 28 players from MLS who are out of season. I know the yanks had a recent camp for the domestics and we didn't, but aside from that is there a real difference here? I question if there is honestly. The most out of season player for us, perhaps aside from Henry, would be Osorio, Cavallini, Gutierrez and Crepeau, because those teams are not prepping for Champions League. For the USA, I believe you have Ferreira, Zardes, Zimmerman, Lennon and Robinson. I ask you, is there an actual difference here? I like this take. I think the counter argument though is that we've got more MLS players who are difference makers. Or at least that's the perception of their fan base, who seem to hate a lot on their MLS contingent. But like you suggest I'm skeptical, and think that's more perception than reality. 2 hours ago, Free kick said: There is one big difference between JDG’s experience in Central America and today. Today, those two central american sides are for all intents and purposes eliminated. Hence, playing for nothing. They're playing for pride. That's not nothing, and it is powerful and we shouldn't underestimate it... but at the same time the difference is that in JDG's day their teams took to the field having already won in their minds, and than made it happen on the pitch... now they walk on doubting that outcome and instead hoping for a win. That is also powerful and why I like our chances. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Gutierrez gets the call up with the Davies's absence. Here's hoping that he doesn't up getting crocked up in training. Settled side, much familarity with each other and the system. I expect some good results, regardless of the Davies and Eustaquio situations.

That list is also from CSA - but in their full press release. It's too detailed for a twitter graphic unless your audience is something like fintwit. But they could move away from alphabetical order to the 5 position categories listed in the press release since not many tend to click through to press releases.

Stryker911 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 The nice bonus for us is El Salvador and and Honduras passionatly hate each other. Way more than we dislike honduras.
