i think that makes sense given results so far, plus team news.  only a handful of sites had odds prior to today, but the sites that did went from 1.91 to 2.1 on the Davies news.  so from odds on to odds against
as a comparison, the US went from 1.4 to 1.75 when they played in Honduras, and that move came after the 1-1 draw in nashville. so possibly some doubts about the squad after that draw, but we know what happened next...

we're given a lower shot of winning than the US, so there's still a perception that we are below the US and Mex in terms of ability.
however... books are giving this squad a ton more respect than prior national teams.  we were massive underdogs in previous road trips...

 
we went from 6.85 to just about even money

True but to contextualize, our true away games have been Haiti, Jamaica, USA, and Mexico. The result in Jamaica was obviously poor but we certainly can't complain about the other two.

The difference between this version of the CMNT and previous ones is that this really is a TEAM and  a coaching staff that is well prepared. Not having Davies and Staq is huge but we are where we are because all players that have see the field have  made contributions. I get the disappointment, but lets not disrespect the rest of our players who got us here. Guys like Piette/Kaye/Osorio & Millar are itching to start and I fully believe we can get the results we need. Laryea can also play as a mid. Look at how Maxime stepped up in window 2 to get that away tie v Mexico. We have been down a goal 4 times in WCQ and have come back to get a result. That shows mental toughness. I think many of us have a bigger problem about the ghosts of past than the players/coaches.

Hoilett available even for the matches in CA makes me more confident, his experience will be massive there!

i remember watching that game...  for a moment there was hope and real belief, which then turned into sadness and frustration  😔
we've sure come a long way.  time to write some new history on thursday.
 

The goal we gave up right before half was the killer - was a pretty weak effort and we seemed to have nothing left after that. Honduras destroyed us in the second half - could have easily added another 2-3 goals

Might be an interesting show to watch tomorrow
 

That makes sense…and since federations like Mexico are well funded, hence the large squad. 
 
i wonder if soccer Canada has been able to secure some advance sponsorship money or commitments, given the MNT standing in the hex, and odds of qualifying…

Is there a limit or disadvantage of calling up a larger squad?  I don’t get why you’d want to bring a minimal squad when there are so many unknowns in this window.

I would say one simplistic reason would be money, the extra plane fares/hotel rooms and meals of five more people (think of how many thousands of dollars just that is).  There was no hiding the fact that Herdman said one of the main reasons for the push to qualify for this WC is that we need the money to fund where we want to go with the youth programs, women etc.  That would be only one reason.

Besitkas manger here confirms that Atiba and Cyle have been called in and will attend the next window. Not sure what Atiba’s availability will be though

interesting that while the Honduras game is in the States, the Panama game is in Lima.  That's a long journey for a friendly..

yes, and as hawkguy mentioned, it's just a google translation...
