A U17 playing for a U20 team, this someone we could regret missing? Though I guess Abraham is 17 as well.

He is likely their best option for that age

Was it Morgan that was rumoured to be moving to England? Nothing came of that?

Nope, might have been some trials but he’s with Whitecaps II

I asked Tavernier why he’s off the roster and he said coaches decision. He’s not dressed for forge either. Schiavoni who also wasn’t called is dressed for forge tonight.

So kind of the same boat as TJ.

A 21 player squad minus 7 players is only 14. 😬

On social media they are saying all players in the D.R. squad have made it to Mexico.

I guess they got their visas at the last minute.

They played a 3rd division club in Mexico and beat them 6-1.

Can someone remind when these games are?  I think they will be on OS, correct?

Good luck to these young men!

Hoping this is the cycle we turn around the dreadful results at this age group. I believe this is the team that does it.

I am hoping to have access to the tournament here in the States.  I read somewhere that the game will be available on Fox Sports One.  Fingers crossed.

I think our defence is too weak.

Looking at the schedule, hopefully Canada can win the first 2 games to wrap things up so I can watch the York United game with peace of mind on July 26th, which kicks off at the same time as the Canada vs El Salvador game.

Finally switching from Fubo to One Soccer will pay off
